Hello from Croatia! I tried to turn on my Sony Trinitron today and it wouldn't work (for the first time after eight years). I saw this thread and tried the hair drier thing. I was drying the lower right side of the TV, front and back, for about ten minutes, constantly trying to turn on the TV. In the end, the drier turned off from overheating. A minute later I successfully turned on the TV!! Since it is a very rainy day today, I believe the explanation with the humidity switch is right. Thank you for helping me!
