I have to chime in here. I am a very happy. I was watching TV when all of a sudden, it shut off just like someone had turned it off. I tried to turn it on with all the remotes, the power button on the front of the TV, nothing. So I looked at the power plug, checked the fuse, everything looked good. I thought I'd give the internet a shot, searched for 'JVC AV-36980 Power Problem' and came across this message board. After reading the several replies I thought I would give it a shot especially when I found a little black mark in the center of the cap top. The TV was useless without this repair. The part cost $1.59 at Radio Shack. Also I have a JVC AV-27980. It was manufactured in Mexico in August 1998. I hope to get another 10 years out of it now.
