How con I fix/troubleshoot my TV?

I have a Phillips/Magnavox 9P6040CI 60 inch rear projection TV.
It was plugged into a power strip along with other components(DVD, Satellite,etc). It was raining, and unbeknownst to me, a leak had developed in a skylight nearby.
The water aparently driped on the powerstrip and, although I was not in the room,I heard a cracking, poping sound.
I turned off the powerstrip.
Now the TV powerlight indicator comes on, yet no picture.
The other components plugged in at the time still work fine.
I have yet to take the back off.
Is there a fusible link, or internal fuse on this unit?
Thanks

Hey Mike,

I just happen to stumble across your posting as I was searching for some information on my Phillips Magnavox of the same model. I don't know how to fix your problem, and being that it has been 10 months since you posted, I am not sure you will ever get this, but I wanted you to know that I once had my TV serviced under my extended warranty, and the TV is great. However, I am looking to upgrade so if you are interested in replacing yours, feel free to contact me at kurt168146@aol.com. Be sure to note "Mike from "How to mend it.com" so I will recognize you.

Best regards,

Kurt W.
