Where did you learn the fault you have is a bad fuse and did you test the fuse for continuity? This sounds more like a backlight issue if the lamps are flashing on and off.

Hi Drew..Your backlights are bad, common issue, there are some shorted diodes in the lamp strips, the over current section of the inverter is shutting down, then the set reboots, senses over current and shuts down again ect

Unfortunately, you're getting a lot of bad and not helpful information like replace capacitors, power supply ect without doing any testing to determine what the actual issue is. Where you need to start is by testing the main board to see if it's doing what it's supposed to do to "wake up" the power supply. Put your multimeter ground lead on the frame ground and find the terminal marked PS_On on the connector going from the power to main board (there will be a legond on the board to tell what pin is what) once you have your meter hooked to that connector turn the TV on and see if you see around 3.3 VDC, this is the signal that tells the power supply to turn on. If you don't see that voltage replace the main board if you see it you need to do some testing of the power board to see if its working, I'm going to have you run this test before going any farther.

Hi try to use a power module if you can (it's a risky situation "high voltage" or get a qualified personel) on the power issue turn it to 5 volts up to 7 volts while checking the functionality.

One of the boards has failed. If you try and fix it yourself, this will happen. :>D https://www.fixya.com/support/r29790007-repairing_own_television ..
