How can anyone know if C840 is to blame for the malfunction.... there are
many faults that could cause your television to "not turn on."
The television will have to be opened up and parts tested with test
equipment to determine the actual fault. At the very least you should TAKE
it to a service shop for a repair cost estimate so you can make an
INTELLIGENT repair decision with facts instead of Internet or Telephone wild
guesses.
My car won't start..... is it the battery?, the starter motor?, relay or
solenoid?, bad ignition?, bad computer module?, bad fuel injectors?, .....or
maybe a bad mechanical part in the engine? ! Obviously, tests need to be
done by and experienced and knowledgeable tech to determine the problem and
fix it.

Open the tv up and esr check any suspect capacitors.
If that yields no firm answer, troubleshoot the tv.
