ouch. well it really depends. most likely it is going to cost more to fix the tv then to just buy a new one. usually when a board is overloaded extreme heat build in all of the transistors and resistors causing them to melt almost immediatly. usually melting metal arcs and short other nearby boards. sometimes the damage can spread to the vacume tube or the lcd screen (depeanding on what kind of tv you have). think of it like microwaving your tv. im sorry. but good luck.

Obviously 220V fries your television internal components. Its resistor and capacitor can only tolerate 110V, if it exceed its limit it will overheat them until they got fried. Use voltage regulator which has a slot for 110V, then you can use your TV safely.

First off, you should not be able to plug a 120V (110V) television into a 220V or 240V source. The plug should not fit! If you put the (wrong) plug for a 240V appliance onto a 120V television and plugged it in, you would basically blow the input stage/power supply...which could be quite dramatic.

Appliances of all types are specifically wired and powered for the intended voltage source. Under or over-powering the device can have exciting results.

You can not plug a 110 volt plug into a 220 volt receptacle because the blade configuration will not allow it.

I would like to run karoke from my laptop to the TV?

First, you laptop has to have TV capability (was it set up for it when you purchased it?) If so, then you need to purchase a male-male SVGA cable (remember, the TV itself should have a SVGA outlet labeled "PC" on the back). An alternative way is to use a S-Video cable with RCA jacks. Just depends on how new your laptop is.
