We have model AV-27BP3, picture in a picture television. We have owned the television for around 12 years. The other day, the power went out but came on really fast. I suspect a power surge hit the television. Here is what it does, it turns on, the picture tubes main is black, with sometimes you can see very lightly what is on the picture. The picture in a picture works fine, so when I use this function, I get the littel square, which shows me the picture, this function works just fine, but the main picture still remains blank. Is there anything that I can do at home to repair this problem? It is with the main large picture, the little picture in the picture in a picture works fine, but I am getting tired of watching an 8" picture, in the family room from around 12 feet away, as it is beginning to strain my eyes. ZIP is 34655.
