Ummm what the hell. I heard a popping noise from the tv and it wasnt even on

I'm sitting on the couch soaking my feet in Epsom salt water and heard the TV pop and it wasnt even on.

Is it smoking? Might want to check the area around the TV for any weird burning smells.

@SubstantialKick No smoke but I'll check for smells

I agree on smells.
You don’t want to turn it on if it is a short circuit and then put on more of a load to the AC transformer providing power.

@Pfuzylogic Well hopefully the circuit breaker would trip in that situation.

If it is popping and cracking then power is getting to the TV. The house circuit breaker is not detecting a current overload if there is one. Internal to the tv there would be a fuse for protection but they aren’t fool proof.

So much for working circuit breakers!
