[sudo-discuss] sudoroom BigTV television dead?

[Jake]

it seems that the big TV that's screwed to the balcony has stopped working.
It's plugged into live AC but the power doesn't come on even when i press the
power button.

i'm guessing that this is because it's dead.  i've tried to fix TVs like this
before and it's just too many screws, in addition to hunting down a new
transistor or whatever... so it's unlikely to happen.

anyway if anyone feels like doing anything about it, go ahead and double-check
that the AC power is really getting to it (although i'm pretty sure i checked)
and then probably you'll have to take it down from the wall.  Then you can see
if it blew a fuse, and then see what happens if you put another fuse in (it
will blow it again) and then see if you can figure out what's wrong - maybe
it's just a bad capacitor!  but it's probably a lot more.

and then it can go in the e-waste pile and Cere can disassemble it further to
see what's inside.

and then we can take one of those TVs from under the stairs and put it up
instead.
