@sonicdog you always want to make sure that your TV gets power. Start checking the AC outlet and make sure that you have power to your TV. Get a multimeter and check the cord. After that you will have to disassemble your set and take a look (unplug the set) to make sure that everything looks ok. Check the fuses on the power board for continuity. Then plug the st it and try to turn it on. Check for power on the board and on the main fuse. Let us know if you need help with that. Remove the back of your TV and post some pictures of the layout of the boards in your set and then of all the boards. Use this guide Adding images to an existing question for that. It will allow us to see what you see.

*****EASIER SOLUTION*****

1.) Unplug the TV from the power source (The wall, power bar, extension cord, etc.)

2.) Leave unpluged for 1+ Hour(s)

3.) Press and hold the POWER button for 60 seconds. (On the TV, not with the remote.)

4.) Continue holding the power button while plugging the TV back in, and for 60 seconds after.

*****IF THAT DOES NOT WORK*****

1.) Hold [Menu] and [Volume -] located on the side of the TV.

2.) While holding the 2 buttons listed in step 1, press the [POWER] button on the TV, not on the remote.

3.) Blue Power Indicator should light up.

4.) Continue holding the [MENU] and [VOLUME -] for 10 seconds AFTER the BLUE light appears, thab release and your TV should be powered back on.
