while watching an Emerson brand 25 inch tv the picture went blank (dark) and no sound
is it worth getting repaired or bvetter to buy new

[linskyjack]

Buy new---25" TV's are very reasonably priced.

Make sure it's still plugged in ( sorry...no joke...I've seen that before )
Make sure the electrical outlet still works ( I live in an older home....I've seen that )
Check your owners manual to see if there is an internal fuse for the tv that might have gone bad.

Also look on the back and see if there is a reset button. A few (very few) still have them.
