so holly's friend did some research, turns out philips tv's have some wimpy fuses in em... so i opened it up, its a 4amp 250v fuse, i replaced it with a 6.3 amp 250v fuse ftw... that bitch wont blow again anytime soon..... my tv works again :yay:

im just pissed that philips didnt even say "well sometimes the fuse blows, thats probably all it is" here i am about to buy a new tv over a blown fuse
