why wont my tv turn on?

short in the horizontal area or on one of the power supply lines probably. get it serviced by a pro. certainly nothing to do with amplifiers.

I'm not sure but just as a safety precaution, if you have your TV hooked up to an amplifier, it might broken. After turning the TV on for about 20 seconds or so, check to feel if your amplifier is getting too hot. If it is hotter than a light bulb, or you smell heated metal coming from it, you turn off the TV and disconnect the amplifier. It may be a fire hazard. And electrical fires are the worst, so if you're not sure if it's too hot or not, you should probably just buy a new one just to be safe.
