Riddled TV Repair Forum

[admin]

1. You will get better help if you provide your particular TV make and model. A chassis number is also helpful if available. Your model number is probably listed on the back side of the TV.
2. Provide as much detail about the problem and what has happened to the TV.
3. What have you tried already?
4. Pictures are worth 1000 words
5. Remember that everyone here is helping you voluntarily. No one here is paid for their time.

Example:
Subject: RCA F25432 Completely Dead (((Notice ALL CAPS in Model number)))

RCA 25" TV
Model F25432
Chassis CTC203ax

It's completely dead.
At first the TV would flicker, and you could unplug it and plug it back in and it would work. Then there was a pop sound, followed by black smoke coming from the back. I poured water on the TV to put out the fire.

I already opened the back to check for any fuses or burnt looking components.

Here is a picture of the burnt looking thingy:

Thank you in advance for giving me such fine assistance.
