Have a Toshiba TV, Model CF1927B. There is no power when clicking the power. I checked both fuses already, but still nothing happens when I click the power button...any suggestions???

Good evening, Drew77:

Usually the first place to check is for a shorted HOT (Horizontal Output Transistor. This is the first point of casualty on these sets.

Check this site for full troubleshooting techniques. I admire the man that made it:

If you are adept at repairing the set, come back and I will give you sources for Service Manuals and repair parts. Remember, though, the current cost for a technician is $125 an hour.

How can we help you?

Smokey ;)

Sounds like a great tip. I, however know very little of TV Repairs. I would appreciate any further suggestions on service manuals and replacement parts. I am very comfortable with PC repairs.....so can't see this being completely alien. Any offers for help are appreciated... Thanks Smokey!
