Power supplies tend to burn out, this will result in a TV not starting up at all or just an indicator light will work and when trying to press the power button it will attempt to start up then shut down again. Power supplies tend to break when there are fluctuations in electricity, these sudden drops or increases in voltage will cause a power supply to break. Some countries have better constant voltages than others and it is this inconsistent voltage which is common in Malta. Every time you see the lights in your house dim, it is an indication of voltage drop.
Today we repaired a power supply with clear indications of bad voltage input, The LG is now up and running and was repaired for a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new TV.
