lcd tv - no power - help

Hello (im not techie - sorry)

I have a HAIER LCD TV Model L37A5A - no power lead!, everything else looks good (i.e remote, cosmetic of the tele)

It looks like it takes a standard plug that you normally use on the back of a PC, have tried several BUT it doesnt power up. Looked on web but cant find out

Do I need a special power lead for a HAIER?

hELP PLEASE!

    If you know the lead is ok then is there an off/on switch somewhere on the TV?

    Also how long have you had the TV and was it working before you got it?
  • hi, it was given to me by a bloke who went to spain for 6 months....over a yr ago and isnt coming back

    Its in a box and has been well stored. If its a right off then not the end of the world, but dont want to dump what could be a good tv

    The power lead works on the computer and fits in ok with the TV. I notice it says 250v on it the there is a sticker on the back of the TV saying 150-240v....

    Cant see any on / off switch on the tv....:)

    Have you looked at the back of the TV for an on/off switch, often they are tucked away at the back?

    or around the edge of the screen, can't seem to find a free manual for it at the moment.

    Could be a failure in the power supply, it's very common. Normally needs all the electrolytic capacitors replacing.
