What the HECK!

[98E9GT]

I'm home on my lunch, and I turned on my TV, its making a crackling sputtering sound, in the back, and I smell something burning. WTH, We just had a storm last night, so could it have gotten fried by b*st*rd lightning bolt? Maybe it was the GM god hating on me because I paid 30 bucks for my 37" TV(Not Stolen!). So if anyone has any knowledge of TV's or maybe some sort of spiritual dance or chant to ward off the evil GM god, please help me.

Step 1: Un-plug TV.

Step 2: Sell it to bum for $40, make profit and suffer the losses.

Step 3: Buy new T.V.


Im not a TV expert but it sounds like its been done in. Maybe not though. Lightning is pretty harsh on electronics, even if they are plugged into a surge protector.

Well what kind of TV?

Plasma? Tube? CRT? LCD? DLP? HIV?

Was it plugged straight into an outlet or did you have it on a surge protector ? I learned the hard way not to plug LCD tv's directly into an outlet. Blew 2 sony 40 inch bravia's that way. Thank god sony covered them under warranty.
