Sorta kinda. You limit the voltage by one of several methods. There's something called a Variac which is like a oversized light switch dimmer.....another way is to install a light bulb in line of an extension cord....if the light lights brightly as you turn on the set then you have a big short ciruit in the TV.

Do a search within this site and you'll find plently of references to this procedure......it's a little more involved than I've touched upon.
