Hopefully this is the right group for this question. I have no
intention of doing this repair myself--rather, I would take it in for
service.
I have a Sharp 32N-5350. I've had it for about 5-6 years with no
problems.
Today, while watching, the TV quite suddenly shut itself off. It was
exactly as if I had turned it off using the remote.
Clicking the remote to turn it back on did nothing (no response at
all). I unplugged the TV from the outlet and tried a different outlet.
When I tried to turn it on again, it made a clicking noise, exactly as
if it was going to turn on, and then made a sound that I think was
degaussing, and then clicked again and did nothing.
I had to leave, and when I came back 15 minutes later, I tried again
and the same thing happened, except this time I heard about a second of
audio before it clicked off.
I was planning on getting a new TV within the next six months anyway,
so it's no huge tragedy. However, if this sounds like an inexpensive
problem to repair, the TV would still be useful to me.
So:
1. Any other troubleshooting steps I could try to help diagnose the
problem?
2. Does it sound like a serious problem?
I see from ads online that I could get a brand new tube TV for under
$200, so I guess it would have to be REALLY inexpensive to warrant
repair.
Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.
