How do I fix my TV at home?

Question

my tv fell and now it wont come on. when i press the power button, it makes the sound like its trying to come on but it doesn't. what can i do to keep from taking it to a repair shop?

Answer 1

Is it a CRT type set ?  If it is then what happens when the TV is knocked over or dropped is that the heaviest part on the circuit board gets torn from its soldered joints and breaks the circuit board , not a repair job for the inexperienced though !! Bite the bullet and seek professional help !

PS The R in your name isn.t Rudd by the way ? ( PM of Australia ) . Nar can't be , he would have his government telly repaired FOC ...

Answer 2

- just don't  

Answer 3

If you don't know what you're doing just get it repaired professionally or at the very least ask someone else who may know something about electronics and a/v equipment. Especially if it's a CRT TV... high possibility of receiving severe electric shock if you touch the wrong thing inside.
