Replace the fuse in your TV

Hi guys, recently my second hand TV stopped working. After quick detective work utilizing the vast electrical experience on Google I figured it was the fuse that had blown. I'm no electrician but I like to fix things myself and I'm too cheap to buy another one at Wal-mart. If your TV stops working like mine you can follow these steps to fix it.

Symptoms. My second hand TV (I traded it for a memory card and micro SD card reader) would not come on by either the remote or on switch. It would not light up or make any sounds.
Diagnosis: The diagnosis was that the TV was not receiving any power. After trying different wall outlets, and plugging in known working appliances, I ruled out that it was not a faulty wall outlet. (I would use a lamp but that doesn't work either). No sense in cracking open a TV and risking your life if the wall outlet is not working or not on at all.

Step 1 Tools /Parts Used:

Philips screw driver
Thick leather gloves
Fuses
Flat screw driver
Flashlight

Blown fuse is very common reason why TV does not work at all. This is very useful guide since it does not take much time to replace fuse and than you can watch tv on your LCD television or CRT TV.

Now I can stay in my room and watch TV instead of having to leave to date women or work on my social life.

Yay television! TV makes living much easier and interesting, especially if it works.

I was going to use my CBRN gloves but they were in my vehicle and I was too lazy to get them.

Useful stuff, do you know why the fuse melted originally? L

I have no idea, it didn't even looked burnt out but it started working as soon as I replaced it.
