No Picture Or Sound

The TV was working fine and all of the sudden the picture and sound dissapeared. I can see several green leds and one red led on in the power supply inside the TV. Do you know which part of the Power could be wrong and how do I check it?

There are many green LEDs on the power board, the ones you see are the indications of the supplies that are working. The secret of why the set isn't working is to find the one that's not working. That's the circuit with the problem and the open fuse. this is probably a failure in the high voltage or horizontal deflection circuit. I will suspect the indicator for the 120VDC isn't lit. You should have a technician troubleshoot it since this is not a circuit for novices. Expect a repair cost in the $250-$400 dependent upon the price of the parts.
