Power outages are the main cause for a TV, and other electronics, to damage their power supply board. When power comes back after an outage, there is an overload of power causing some components of the power supply to blow. Sometimes it can be repair by replacing those components, but sometimes the board must be replaced depending on the severity of the damage.
Here are some of my suggestions to prevent damage during power outages.
1. Get a surge protector (your favorite hardware store will carry it) and connect your electronics in there, including your cable box, DVD player, etc. If there is power outage while watching your TV, immediately turn Off the surge protector. Wait until the power comes back and then turn it On, and resume watching your favorite program.
2. If you do not have a surge protector and have a power outage, disconnect your TV, and follow the same steps as with a surge protector Step #1.
3. It is very important during a thunderstorm to turn it off too, since power outages might occur during a thunderstorm.
