RCA TV stopped working

My TV all the sudden stopped working.  It was off - went to turn it on, hit the power button on the remote and it suddenly started to make a loud whining/whirring sound coming from the top back of the set. The power on the TV never turned on and could not get the sound to stop without unplugging it. As soon as I plugged it back in, the sound started up again. None of the buttons work on either the remote or the TV. 

 

Is it time to find something else or is it worth fixing? Its probably 5 years old.

    My RCA Home Theatre Premier stopped working after about 5 years. It has the same symtoms as the other two contributors; whirring at the top rear of the set, and will not power off. . . . . have to unplug it. Have tried to find an RCA certified repair person through the RCA website but cannot get any response through their "contact us" link. Have come to the conclusion that they are not interested in customer service, just the quick easy buck on an inferior product. Any suggestions on a repair for this problem . . . or better yet, a reliable product that will not self distruct when the warrenty expires? Thanks! Diane

just follow the power cord where it goes into the tv and there is a small glass fuse right there,check to see if the small wire inside it is burnt out or if the fuse appears to be white or black inside.

Why does my RCA TV cycle through channels on its own?

this is the same type of problem happening with other rca models and I know it is the EPROM CHIP but why this is failing is either because of design flaw , dirty enviroment that they were made in , to much voltage or current to the chip or too much of a draw from the chip causing it to fail . Or even a random frequency from the IR sensor or its circut I'm still investigating and testing.
leave the tv unplugged for at least 3 weeks durring this time resolder any solder that don't look good , I did this and it lasted for about 6 months(always plugged in to the wall) before it started doing it again. model # 27v412t

RCA universal remote

Try it without a code. Turn your tv off. Press tv then press the on.off button and tv button at the same time. When it lights up, press play every five seconds until the tv powers off. Next press the reverse button every few seconds (sometimes takes a while), until it powers back on. When it powers back on hit the stop button to save the code.
