HP Plasma 42" Won't Turn On!!
|
Can't Post

Hello,
My name is Tom and I'm as new as it gets! My son won a HP PL4260 back in Sep 2007. It has a build date of 6/2006. This TV has hardly been used. About 1 month ago he called me to say his TV won't turn on. (Isn't this what Dad's are for, to call when something won't start, run or light up? Never have one of my kids called me to offer me money or free food!) Being a pretty mechanical person, I hit the WWW and boy, does this set take a beating almost as viscious as the beating HP took! And it seems this TV and THIS exact issue is quite the commonality! So he buys a new SONY 32" Bravia and Dad get's the HP! So I move it out of his Apt. into mine (it was like moving a 56 Buick that has no wheels!) I set it up and turn it on. Nothing. I mess with the remote only to find dead batteries. After installing new ones, I got the TV to have audio. Using the remote, I changed stations and the audio went right along with it. But that's where it ends. No picture or any activity whatsoever on the TV. Not one single remote function works. Nor do the little buttons on the side. And I still can't make any sense what-so-ever of where the 3 plugs from my Dish box go. So my question is what is my next step? After losing my job, I'm a little recessionary as we speak. Any information here will be a God send!
Thanks,
Tommy
