I have a Toshiba that won't turn on. It has been having this problem for about 6 months. I would have to plug it in a couple of times to get it to finally turn on. Once it is on, it has a great picture and sound. Once it is off, it won't respond. It is too heavy to take to a repair shop so, I thought if someone is can give me advise on how to fix it myself. I know nothing about fixing televisions.
Please help.

well my crystal ball says to remove the thig-a-magig, then replace it with a what-cha-ma-callit, then attach a peice of wet string to the antenna jack, and it should work. because with out a make,model#,or chassis# then just about anything should work,.

You took words out of my mouth, once i have to agree with you:it seems like these people are joking with us that had too spend many years reeding and learning while some people were out there having fun.

I do not want anyone to think that I am trying to take for granted your trade. I have a huge television that takes 3 men to move. I don't have the resources to take it to a repair shop. I was hoping that by contacting this forum, I could find out if I should trash or call someone to come and fix it, as it is too technical for me to fix. All you have to do is give me advise. I appreciate your response.
The model number of my Toshiba is CF 3566A, The chasis number is TAC 9190.
Sincerely,
Larry

You didn't furnish us a model or chassis # of your set, so all we can do is guess what the problem might be. From the description of the symptom I would guess you have lots of bad caps in the power supply. Are you ready to tackle a repair like that? If you are not willing to have a real tech look at it, then your set might make a wonderful boat anchor!

I would suggest that you take that unit to a repair shop that has been recommended to you by word of mouth by your friends,relatives,co-workers or neighbours as that is the proper way to find an honest and qualified tech,they may be an authorized shop for that brand or they may not,they may be a store front or home based but they would be qualified to fix it as stated by the many notices manufacturers place on the back of their equipment for customers to read and respect.
If you attempt to repair the item yourself you will definetely not fix it but instead create more problems,a risk of fire and personal injury and afterwards a lawyer will come to you and tell you "lets sue this tech for $XXX XXX as it won't cost you a nickle or a dime,you penny pincher,spend thrift,nickle & dimer,low baller,cheapskate,tightwad,freeloader,toe picker and hustler" and the lawyer would screw you just like a car mechanic and the only thing you would get out of it is a free jar of vaseline and a pillow.
Finally it takes years of formal training to acquire this knowledge usually by community college/vocational school (some by correspondense courses or the like) as well as training afterwards by manufacturers or from everyday personal experience working on stuff combined with expensive dedicated test equipment,service manuals and in some cases repair tips that we share through the internet.
In plain English:
take it to a repair shop as we have to make a living just like you" also if it was just cleaning,a loose wire,or a burnt fuse we would be rich.By way that tech that replies to customers on this site should stop even if it requires sacrificing his dominating authority and attention whoring.

don't pay any attention to the post of taking it to a repair shop, the dumbass that said that, puts it on all of the posts. try checking for bad capacitors in the power supply section.
