MMM. left on in room under open window. MIGHT have got rained on,dry
enough now. Makes singing noise, and when first switched on a picture

Leave somewhere warm and with a good air flow to dry out, see if it
sort itself out.

No.

Or bin time..

If it doesn't fix itself, yes!

The singing suggests a fault in the power supply or the loading of the
power supply but not in the backlight inverters as the display fails to
white.

If drying it somewhere warm for 24hrs doesn't work, I'd say it would be
worth popping the case to take a look at the power supply area before
consigning it to the bin. Look for the usual suspects (popped
electrolytic capacitors) and look for tracking in the mains section.
