The cord shown, doesn't look like the original power cord. It could've been a polarized cord, forced on the two same size pins. The same thing, with using a standard power cord, on a set, that takes a polarized cord.
It was the correct type cord. I sold him the TV, and the power cord was disconnected and not in place on the set when it was shipped. The only thing I can think of that it might have happened in the first place is if the cord got jammed in the back hard. I removed the back to install and remove the cord.
