This is the sign of a curse.  The kiss of the junk fairy & I'm
not talkin' rainbow alliance

Have a Sampo 19" color TV that's a similar case.  Line transient
took out logic supply 3 yrs back & fixed it with a wall wart.

Another event a year back caught me outa town  My wife brought it to
a responsible TV guy that wretched  when he saw the Y2K fix.
But not to worry, wife brought it back & I found it to be the
line fuse upon my return

OK, July's line transient took out 1 1n4007 and the 7 ohm PS surge
resistor.

What's the saying about "3s charm?"

You know, there's plain no sense to this behavior since a new 19-incher
is but 100 bux.

A curse, I rest my case
