question on a 1997 zenith 36 inch tv

[radotvguy]

I have a 36 inch zenith tv which i purchased new in 1997 . Gave it to my brother a few years back . Anyway it recently developed a problem , it wont turn on with button or remote . I took the back cover off and there is a soldered in fuse which is blown . I attempted to momentarily jump it and found there is a short in the set which blew the fuse . I dont have much experience with these newer sets being mainly just fooled with older tube sets and radios my whole life . Can anyone chime in and give me any advise on this issue .
