Fried power supply? Possible outlet surge
Hi Everyone, new to the iFixit forums but im seeking some assistance and thought, where else would i go?…
Model: Sony XBR65x850C
Anyhow, was installing some hard wired lighting in my garage and had to turn the power off and on several times to that circuit. twice, i carelessly switched off the circuit for the outlet the TV was plugged into, regrettably without a surge protector. Hours later it appears the TV may have rec’d a surge and something fried/broke. The outlet is still functional and i tried the power button reset, etc with no luck. I have since replaced the TV with something I have wanted so its not all bad, but i woudl love to fix this tv for not a lot of money if possible.
Yesterday I pulled the back panel and found the fuse, but found it to be ceramic so visually it cannot be assessed. Checking to see if anyone has any experience in this. I dont have a multimeter to test but am willing to either order the fuse for $10 or should i just replace the whole board which i found for about $60.
