The only logical solution for the problems people are having for the toshiba regza's tv's is to get into a class action law suite..., they contiue to sell tv's with defective parts and refuse to help the customer that spent large cash to find out they last if your lucky 2.5 years, they are junk and anyone with one will soon find out./.......

Most times buying a replacement panel is more expensive than the tv.

If the HDMI cable was the only connection, then the high voltage pulse would have had to go through one or more of the video wires in the cable, through the video board, and back out the HDMI cable shielding. What troubles me is you should see the unit come up to standby and refuse to power on. That suggests there was something else connected besides the HDMI cable or the base made a decent ground. At least the panel is worth $150 or so (it is highly unlikely it was damaged).

I believe your TV is still under warranty, I would strongly suggest to contact your TV manufacturer so that they will be the one to fix it for free and they also do replacement for a defective unit.

Hi,
Here are some basic steps that will help you fixing the problem.
I'm assuming that your unit is dead set without an standby LED light and your outlet is live.1.Power cord -check the cord it might be opened (no continuity).This is due to frequent bending,pulling.2. Power switch- check for dry joints, open contact.3.Check the internal fuse- sometimes the fuse fail because of thepower surge, replacing with new one will cure the problem, If this is the case I would advice you to use surge protector/AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator). However if the fuse blew again this is an indication that you have ashorted partsin the power supply, you may visit the linkhttp://www.fixya.com/support/r8053361-fuse_keeps_blowingfor more info. If no reaction and still the unit didn't power up then you have an open parts on the power supply.
4.If you see that the fuse isintact, don't attempt to touch anything because there somefatalcomponents stored electricity enough to hurt you with a simple mistake only. I would advice you to look fora professionalto troubleshoot the power supply. If you want to repair it yourself make sure that you have necessarytools and test instrument. First checkbadsolder joints(re-solder all cold solder),leaky electrolytic capacitor(sometimes it hasbulgedat the top but not all, you better have a capacitor checker), open/shortedregulatortransistor/IC(mounted in heat sink),open fusible resistor(caused by shorted regulator Transistor/IC), shortedzener diode.
You may also replace the power supply board, try online like ebay.com and shojimmy.com.
Also check if your unit is under warranty before opening the back panel, it will void the warranty. Avail it because the manufacturer of your unit will fix it for free or a little charge only.
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using fixya.

It appears to be a bad panel. The cost of a new panel exceeds the cost of a replacement TV with the same specifications. If you have a warranty, use it before it expires. If it is out of warranty, I recommend that you complain to Toshiba that this is a common problem and ask for factory warranty consideration. Good luck.

New batteries in the Remote, not kidding!

It does this in ALL video sources? That is the symptom of bad T-CON board. Is this TV still under warranty. There is a slight chance of bad LCD panel also.

If you are going to DIY and have proper tools, electronics knowledge, and know safety precaution then please read on: Please see my basic troubleshooting guide here: http://www.fixya.com/support/r5093881-lcd_flat_panel_tv_troubleshooting_guide http://www.fixya.com/support/r6150077-basic_lcd_monitors_troubleshooting Failed TV and Monitors: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm Learn about bad caps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague Parts: www.shopjimmy.com Capacitors kit: http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/Default.aspx he can make you a set of caps. Or www.digikey.com just make sure to use caps with low ESR, 105c rating such as PANASONIC FM or FC series. Please post back what you find.

The LCD panel is defective. They are expensive. Call customer service and they may extend the warranty for you if you complain enough.

Good wireless headphones have "line in" cable with 2 RCA plugs, which must be attached to TV's "audio out connectors. If you have only "optical" or "coaxial" audio stream out, you must upgrade your "wireless" gear to accommodate those signals. Forget about "headphone" jack! It's a blast of the past!Thanks,Alex.

Hi, Please immediately stop using this device and send it to Toshiba for a repair or replacement. It's not normal for a tv to blow fuses like this and could be a fire hazard. Thank you.

I would try sing a TV converter and a digital converter and see if that fixes the problem.
