Thanks Tom,

This is the first TV I have ever had a problem with. 6-7 yrs. of use is much less than the 10 I expected to get out of it. I still own one TV which was purchased and used a lot over the past 15 yrs. picture is not that great, but it still works.

So now I'm faced with spending approx. $200+ in repairs for a TV that cost $500 new, then you have to ask yourself will it have another problem or last another 5 yrs. ?

If you purchase a new higher end TV your investment would be much greater than the repair but, offer a much better picture. Although the little time I have to watch TV seems hard to justify $1,000 for a new TV if I can repair the old one for $200 which worked well enough.

Decisions, decisions, We still have 3 other TV's so we don't need to rush out and make a decision right now. Just thought I would ask if anybody had any ideas as to what the problem may be with the RCA not powering on...

Thanks Jon
