I had this LCD TV for about 2 years and suddenly it stop working, will not turn on and has no power. It made some static noise then it just stop working. The rest of my entertainment system (audio receiver, speakers, subwoofer, radio) still works, powers on in the same electrical outlet with a power surge protector.
I think you blew a fuse on the main power supply.these units are pretty much low voltage and high current systems, and they shouldn't have problems with shorted components.
