The set can be serviced. The paper clip probably shorted something and did
some damage to the system controller, or some other components inside.

You will have to get the set properly serviced.

My 3 year old son inserted a paper clip into one of the front A/V jack @
the front of the set and seemed to have shorted out something. The set
shut off and will not go back on. Is there a fuse of some kind that can
be replaced, or is the TV doomed?
