How can I fix my tv when it won't turn on?

I Have a 36 inch RCA Guide TV. sometimes it wont turn on and makes a clicking/popping noise. then when i can get it to come on every button i press it goes to menu the it pops over to the guide plus. can u tell me how to fix this.

  • Answer:

    I also have a 36 inch RCA that I purchased in 2003, it used to make some poping noise and the other night it caught on fire, sparks were flying,smoke like burning wire smelt in the air. I quickly unplugged it and ha a man come out and check it and it had something to do with the soldering. The tv is now no good, is out of warrenty and lesss than 6 years old. I think Rca should pay for me to get a new tv ( I paid over $1000.00) for the tv and stand that went with it. I won't buy another RCA television. Is there any way I can go after RCA for the money or at least some of it? Email me at

Hi there. I can't help you with a technical answer for your question. However, I can help you in another way. Your question is currently sitting "here" at Answerbag: Categories > Entertainment > Television > Public Television However, your question has nothing to do with public television networks or programming. You have a "technical" question. So, I've just flagged it as "wrong category" and requested it be moved to: electronics - home video - television - troubleshooting. It will now be checked. If the moderators agree, then your question will be moved. If not, it won't. But my point for you is that WHERE you put your question is as important as the question itself. I'm willing to bet there are "techie types" who might even be able to answer you, but they might only be watching certain categories .. then helping when they can. They would not be expecting to find a technical tv question like yours in "public television" so could very well not see it. Ok? I hope it is approved and moved. No guarantees it'll get answered, but you give yourself "the best shot" by trying to find the best match of what you want to know (your question) and the AB place to put it (the AB category or possibly sub or sub-sub category) Hope that helps. And I hope you find out how to fix yoru tv problem too. :)

Dont expect much of a helpful answer, They all like to answer dumb questions like what is your favorite song with a color in it or something like that instead of actually answering in a helpful manner. It's all about points and things that don't matter most of the time! I wish I had an answer for you but I don't know Good luck on answer bag
