Someone recently brought in a Norcent PT4235 plasma TV. It had apparently "just quit". When I plug it in, the relays click a couple of times like it's trying to start, and a bit of static flashes on the screen, but that's it. I looked under the back cover and didn't see any bulged or leaking caps, nor did I find any obvious shorts in the many high-wattage transistors. Before I go any further with this, I'd like to know if there are any known issues that someone could point me to. This set has a massive number of power supplies in it, and I really don't want to waste several hours on something that may not be fixable in the first place. This is a very cheap brand of set (retailed for just $700 new), so I doubt it's worth spending much time on. Thanks for any advice.
