<human>: Here's the rub: While I was home for the holidays the power went out at our house and the tv won't turn on. The cable TV is not affected because we can hear the audio coming from separate speakers. But the TV itself won't power up (the blue indicator light just blinks and then turns off again). I'm fairly certain we blew a capacitor on the power board in the TV. I used to repair my computer monitors and 99% of the time, the issue was some bad capacitors. I wanted to take a look inside the TV to see if that was the problem but my parents freaked. 

I feel like they don't trust me. I'm pretty sure this is why I've had self confidence issues, because my parent don't think I'm a capable person. I don't know how to deal with this situation in a way that shows I am capable. I'm not going to even touch the TV because they got really upset when I suggested taking the back off to have a look.

Now they are going to spend hundreds of dollars to get the TV repaired, instead of having me do it. How the F do I deal with this? I can be the most capable/confident person outside of my family but to them I'm just an incapable little kid.

My background/qualifications: I'm a 31 year old male. I work at a well respected tech company in silicon valley. For the past 5 years, my job has been to make tech prototypes. I've built everything from shopping carts that can stop themselves to a giant wall of light connected in realtime to artists all around the world.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: TV died, I know how to fix it, but since I'm a 5 year old 31 year old, my parents won't let me.
