it is pouring where i live and my roof leaked within my apartment and it was all down the vertebrae of my 42 inch akai big screen. It was on at the time. I didnt hear it pouring because i be listening to music but i turned around to look in time to see a peak saver type thing come up on the eyeshade and then it shut off and wont come rear on... can this be fixed by simply drying it out, or is it going to cost a lot to get it fixed? OR is it broke for perfect? Any suggestions as to what to do to fix it if possible?
Answers: You won't know until it drys out and you try it. Make sure it is COMPLETELY dry.
It is possible it has some internal circuit breakers to cut stale power when it senses a power problem and it "may" be okay.
But it is just as likely you fried a component by shorting it out.
I know the screen are a big part of the cost so I know a bad or broken blind usually condemns them to junk. But I can't tell you cost of replacing a board(s).
I assume it would be worth getting an estimate on repair if it doesn't work when dry.
Good Luck.
