When I plug in the power cable or whatever it's called (i'm not very smart or know much about these tv's) the screen does'nt seem to turn on. It remains black, just like it looks unplugged. The only thing that catches my attention is the glowing red light that appears under the power icon. I guess it's suppose to be green, but i've never really seen the thing work. It's been sitting in my closet for God knows how long! I'd really like to see this work, and will really appreciate assistance the model is called: Coby TFTF1212
Televison & Video - Coby - TFTV1212 12 in. LCD TV

Hi,
Your TV set is in protect mode that why you can see red light .To protect further damage of some component parts.There is something internal problem inside maybe there is a shorted or leak capacitor in power supply section. Just go to electronic repair shop near to your place maybe this is cost you more or less $40 or if you are a electronic savvy you can do it to yourself. Just open the unit and look for power supply board,first thing to do is to re solder all component parts leg on that board only, if finish soldering, Turn on the unit, if still not working then check for shorted or open parts like resistor,diode and transistor,if all okay and still not working then replaced all capacitor,I'm sure its okay. Feel free to ask whatever the result.
