Buying a new set would not be an easy fix.
Surely there would be a fuse near the power supply to handle power
surges.
** Go find it and replace it, should be rated between 2 to 5 amps.
Be sure to buy a "slow blow" type - will have the letter " T " in front
of the amp rating.
I've finally got round to doing this. I've seen the warning on the back of
the TV that says "Do not remove cover. Electric shock."
Two questions:
1. If I have the TV unplugged, is there no risk of electric shock?
2. Do I need to take off the whole back half of the TV just to look at the
fuses near the power supply?

Do not replace the fuse ! Use a suitable length of aluminium or brass
pot shaft which is a perfect fit and 'meant' for the job. If you replace
the fuse it will just blow again, but if you do as directed the parts
causing the fuse to blow will become obvious by smells and smoke signs.

All rather interesting discussion, so I quickly threw together another blog
(#20) showing the effect again using a regular coax cable, and also busting
the myth that it's the ground probe loop causing it.
See my blog link below.

Tek used to offer an option on their high-end 'scopes, having extra
bonding contacts around all the panels, and a mesh screen over the CRT
face. My 7104 is like that.
The old HP180 (lovely instrument, that was) came with a mesh CRT filter as
standard. Wish I'd still got mine.
Poor little Keefy doesn't like being reminded that he had no problemsPoor pathetic little johnny baby, is up to his cross posting activities
again making all of the pro gun lobby look like oafs. Was it because
trevor was raving about guns on a non gun news group? No, it was because
I dared to express an on topic opinion in another gun group, and
little johnny chose to post in an electronics group rather than put his
points in the original discussion.
What a gutless wonder, all he is achieving is to make all you guys look bad.
