I don't think I have a problem with my circuit breaker.
A bad power switch is a possibility. The power switch acted a little funny: the TV would be off in the "on" position, and vice versa. Still, since I knew this, I made a point to keep the switch in the position that worked (and kept the TV unplugged when not in use), but I still developed this problem. The TV would work one minute, I'd unplug it - leaving the switch completely untouched - I'd plug it back in later, and nothing would happen.
A bad cord is definitely a possibility. It's not really frayed, but it is a bit twisted in some places.
I don't know anything about varsitors, sadly :P
I have some pictures of the power cord and the inside of the console if it helps. One thing in particular that I found interesting was a little plastic cap that was rolling around inside (the last picture).
