I have a Panasonic 32" CRT HDTV that's just over 3 years old. Model # is CT-32HL43G. It's been a great TV up to this point. However, this morning I turned it on and hit trouble.
When I turned it on, I heard about a second of audio while the picture would have been coming up. Then everything just went black. The TV doesn't turn on or do anything right now.
I know you're curious, so... yes, I tested it in different outlets that are known to work. There are no indications that the TV is getting any power (i.e. no clicking when I hit the power button or anything like that), so my first guess is the power supply.
Does anyone have an opinion on what it may be and what my best options are? The TV cost me $1100 3 years ago, I'd rather not pay upwards of $200 to repair it. Then again, I'd rather not shell out $1000 for a new TV either. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
