My television will not turn on. I made attempts to switch outlets and turn on the television manually with no success. I can tell the television is not taking any juice because the standby light is no longer on. The Model number is ELCHS261 and the serial number is GR800035890001184, it was built July of 2008.

Bill,moore details does the pc have any power?.

Check your power outlet for any loose contacts and ensure there is power. Try connecting the TV to a different power outlet.

Switch off TV manually, switch off power, remove plug and retry after 48 hours.

If problem persists, please refer it to a qualified service technician.

Check power outlet. Change it to another and try. Change input device to something that works. Look for any jammed buttons on the remote. Switch off TV manually, switch off power outlet, remove plug and cool it off for 48 hours and retry. If it does not work even then, this may need attention by a qualified service technician.

A couple of things can cause a Code 11(Ignition Failure): The gas line at the heater is not turned On or not turned on all the way. Also an obstruction in the Direct Vent Termination.

According to the Owner's Manual:
If the appliance fails to ignite, the appliance will attempt ignition after 1 hour. The "Ignition Failure" fault code, 11, will appear during that hour and disappears after a successful ignition. If ignition fails again, then the fault code will remain and another attempt to ignite will occur in 1 hour. The fault code is not stored in the fault code history.

If the flame is extinguished during forced combustion then the appliance will attempt ignition after 1 hour. The "Ignition Failure" fault code, 11, will appear during that hour and disappears after a successful ignition. Forced combustion takes place for about 15 seconds after ignition. After this time, the temperature control logic controls the combustion.

If the flame is extinguished (burner combustion failure) while the temperature control logic is operating the appliance, then the appliance will immediately attempt ignition. No fault code will appear.

If the problem was not either of the 2 listed above, the electronics may need to be reset. You can do this by turning the Master ON/OFF Switch to OFF and unplug the cord from the wall outlet. Leave the unit unplugged for 15 minutes, then plug it back in and turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. The electronics should revert back to the original factory settings. From there you can set them as you like. If the reset attempt fails, a service call by an authorized service technician is the next step.

Hope this helped you to troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.

Look at the power supply first; look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc. Look for 5vdc, 12vdc, and 24dvc.

Sounds power supply board is bad in your TV and most probably replacement of all electrolytic capacitors in power supply board will solve the issue.
Take TV to local TV repair shop for repair.
