And I'm hoping there's somone in Tech Talk who knows how to fix it, or can suggest someone who can fix it.

It worked fine Friday night, yesterday when I went to turn it on, it sounded as if it was turning on, but there was no picture or sound, and it continued to make this clicking noise every 5-6 seconds or so, as if it was restarting and trying to turn on again maybe? Another thing I noticed is that when I unplugged it from the surge protector and plugged it into the wall, there was a spark. It's not the outlet, because I tested something else in it with no spark or abnormal function from what I can tell.

I really know little about how the TV works, and I don't want to have to toss my TV of about 3 years if I don't have to. Can anyone suggest anything? Many thanks in advance.

flyback transformer or power supply.

unless you know where to get the parts and put them in, i'd get another tv.

Do you know how to put them in? Or do you know of someone who does and would charge a reasonable price?

Does anyone know of a good, reasonable, reliable TV repair place in Raleigh?

They are good? You've used them before?

Thanks for the input man.
