picked up a TH50PZ80U for free...does not work.
Plugged it in and it does nothing...no lights...no sounds nothing.
Took the back cover off an all boards are there and all connections tight. No blown caps.
The power button seems like the spring may be broken inside.
Here is my question - if there is some sort of problem with the power button will the set not fire up even with the remote? Confirmed the remote worked on my other TV.
If it will not fire without a functioning power button is there some way to jump it to get it to fire? Is the spring available as easily replaced?
Would like to confirm this is the only problem before I dive in too deep.
Thanks.
