32" Toshiba TV problem

[Robotron Tom]

I have a Toshiba 32" TV about 6 years old.

The problem is that when I switch it on, I hear the normal "coming on"
sound but it does not come on. No picture, no sound. It's the same with
remote or button on the set itself. I looked and no light from the
heater. It did come on, once after the set had been unplugged for about 3
months, but hasn't since.

Is there a component I should investigate, like a relay?

Thank you,

It's usually a bad 4.7uf capacitor in the power supply. Look for a red colored
capacitor near the smps transformer. It causes the power supply output to be
high, and the set will shut off immediately if it's bad.

I will get right on it.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question.
