Unless you somehow got one with a factory defect, you must be missing something. Did you try it in a wall outlet, or in a plug-in strip? Test the wall outlet and/or strip by plugging something else that you already know works into it. I like to use a night light for this as it's easy to work with. If it doesn't work, try checking the fuse box to see if a breaker has tripped. Check the plug-in strip to see if the power switch is turned on. It's not always easy to tell on all models until you look closely. Next, give the power cord of the TV a gentle tug. If it moves around inside the TV or feels like you can pull it in and out a bit, that means the connection inside the TV is damaged or defective. The one on my TV is quite solid. Are you turning it on with the remote? If so, try a different set of batteries. If you tried the ones that came with the TV a year ago, they are probably dead. If all else fails, take it to your nearest Best Buy and see if the guys at Geek Squad can figure it out.
