Troubleshooting your JC Penny television with VCR or DVD when it won't power up

• Unplug the television and check the power cord connection on the back of the cabinet. Reconnect the power cord if it's disconnected. Replace the power cord if you see that it's damaged.
• Next, check the electrical outlet for power. Reset the house breaker for the electrical outlet if the outlet is dead. Plug the television into a different outlet if possible.
• Check the surge protector if you have the power cord plugged into that device. Reset the surge protector if it tripped. Replace the surge protector if it isn't allowing the television to power up.
• If these troubleshooting tips don't help, then you may need to replace the power control board in the television.

Preventing your JC Penny television from toppling

• Use a sturdy home entertainment center stand for the television that can adequately support the weight of the television.
• Secure the home entertainment center stand to the wall behind the television. Use 2 angle braces to secure the home entertainment center stand to the wall. Attach one side of the angle brace to the home entertainment center stand and attach the other side of the angle brace to a wall stud. Repeat that process for the angle brace on the other side of the home entertainment center stand.
• Secure the television to the home entertainment center stand. Screw the television stand base directly to the home entertainment center stand using machine screws or use a television support kit to attach a support strap to the television stand and home entertainment center stand to anchor the television in place and keep it from tipping over.
