I have an AV-36980 that wil not always power up. I cannot tell if power is reaching the unit or if the power supply is actually bad. The last time I tried turning it on, nothing hapened so I figured the power supply was blown. Just recently I tried to turn it on again and when I plugged it in, the Timer light began flashing and the tv sounded as if it were being turned on and off quickly but no picture could be seen. I then tried plugging it into another outlet and after doing this I held the on/off button for about 3 seconds and the tv actually turned on. I tried switching outlets but found that it would not work when plugged into a surge protector. After turning the tv off for about 30 minutes, I tried turning it back on and it failed to turn on. I tried plugging it into various outlets once again but it wouldn't turn on, or even show that power was reaching the unit. If you have any idea what might be the culprit, send them my way because I would hate to toss this tv without exhausting all resources... Thank you, SIncerely, Ed
