Whoo Hoo!!!! Googled this after we noticed tv had just died! 20 mins of surfing the net, and then half hour following these instructions meant that the tele is back in business!!! Hubby used a cable tie instead of glue-ing. Well done to him and thanks very much to you!!!!

Thanks very much for this! I took three days trying to fix that problem on my own and looked at several other forums to see if there was a way I could solve it… and this one did it! The amount of times I tried to reinstall iTunes is ridiculous! I did it in many different ways 6`7 times a day… ANYWAY, thanks a bunch! I’m really grateful that you posted a solution.

Disabling all the plugins (and re-enabling them) has resolved this -%&#~%&!- problem.

Thanks loads mate, great guide.
Exactly the same had happened to my 42″ Regza. Apart from mine having a few more screws keeping the back on it is exactly the same as you described. On examination the spacer had broke into 3 seperate bits! so now i just power down at the wall socket. Thanks again!

I had the same problem with a previous toshiba last year and was given a replacement which has just buggered off too.
I am a single mother and unsure if i can hack this fixing things. Seems pretty straight forward but am all jittery. wish me luck guys. xxx

Have just fixed the switch. This is a replacement TV as the same thing happened a while ago.

Shame on Toshiba, for not recalling the product. The next piece of electrical equipment will not be a Toshiba.

Having woken up on Christmas morning to find the same problem with my Toshiba Regza 42″ LCD, I googled this & found it to be most helpful, I am about to attempt to repair it, so if I don’t return, I have obviously forgotten to unplug it first…tell my wife & kids I died a hero!
