I've had the back off the TV, there's an IC on the power board with a
crater in it.
The problem from my 'I don't generally like to mess with SMPSU's' POV,
you can't guarantee that it's or it's_just the obvious that's dead.
Indeed, and i'm pitiful at soldering.
After trying the things that were suggested as the 'most likely' that
didn't work I found a complete new PSU from China that cost less than
even a couple of rounds of the components ... and that worked straight
away. ;-)
I've found a board for $20 odd overseas but I don't want to be without
it too long so there's a place in the UK you can post them to for
repair/exchange for about £40.
I feel like most would see this as an opportunity to get a new massive
telly!
