m7hammond1's Full Review: Gateway PLSM42TV 42 in. EDTV-Ready TV
After 14 months, I started having problems with my TV. It wouldn't turn on, unless I pulled the plug and put it back in. Over the next two months, it got worse. I would have to pull the plug 10 or 15 times before it would finally come on. Once it was on, it would stay on until I turned of off. But it would take 10-15 minutes of doing that before it would turn on. So, I took matters into my own hands. I took the TV apart and tried to find loose connections. I didn't find any (yet), but I noticed that when I took the part off the back where all the RCA connections are, leaving only the DVI and VGA, the TV works perfectly. It turns on with the remote, all the buttons work, and the TV turns off like it should. Hmmmm.
