I think my RPTV went bye-bye

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place for this or not, but here goes: this evening our 6 year old Samsung 52" RPTV volume went from normal listening levels to "all the way up" on it's own. No one was in the room when it happened. It wouldn't respond to the remote or the front panel buttons to lower it. Used the on/off button to turn the set off. Turned the set back on, a few minutes later same deal. turned the set off again, this time it won't come back on. unplugged it, plugged it back in, nothing. No power. Nothing operates via its remote, the front panel, the universal remote. No big screen in the family room for NFL Sunday ticket? Help me Obi Wan Kanobi, you're my only hope.

This critter wouldn't, by chance, have a reset button on the back, would it? Just a thought.

I had a brand new 1 moth old JVC hd-ila set; pop its bulb. Warranty coverage up the wazoo;still had to wait 2 weeks for them to come out. Got to get closer to my Panny 27incher. Shite happens,and at the worst possible time. That Murphy guy was such a know-it-all.

This is like a 60 yard field goal but if you open up the back of your set {unplugged of course} Shine a flashlight where the power inlet is. Their should be a fuse near it. Check to see if its blown.

I hate that - something breaks, handing over a golden opportunity to upgrade (look honey, it won't work - see); and then comes back to life. Should've hauled it out while it was still dead.
