Default Matsui LM19W1 (stuck in standby)

This LCD tv is stuck in standby. Any ideas where I should start?
Thanks


Does it try to come out of standby, and then drop back ? If so, first thing
to try is unplugging the backlight inverter board. Failure of these is very
common, and will cause the symptoms if it does at least try. The sound
output chip is another suspect for this type of failure.

If it doesn't even try, this can be a power supply fault, but I have also
had mainboard failures cause it on other sets from this stable. To be
honest, if it's anything more than *really simple* on an LCD TV, you're
unlikely to get to the bottom of it. In the last few weeks, the prices of
19" sets has crashed in the electrical barns and supermarkets, so it might
in the end be more economic to just replace it.
