Hi Chad, Since you are getting the sound, the main board seems ok. Please show a flashlight on the screen, you should be able to see the picture there. If it is so, the backlights in your set are not working. Most LED TVs have LED driver circuit on the power board now days. Here a word of caution, there are two reasons for failed backlights. First the LED driving circuit and second the backlight itself. Which one has in your case, let some TV Tech decide it. In both the conditions your TV should be repairable. Good luck

You should have a brand remote as part of your new TV it comes as a package, see your dealer.

You'll have to take the cover off. This only consists of a few screws to remove, and lifting off the cover. When you have the cover off, try turning any white gears (carefully) to open the drawer. Some tray mechanisms have bad design. They refuse to open after a few months. This is in the design of the plastic parts and mechanisms of the cd drawer. Flawed design.

Changing the main won't help, it's not what's wrong, you have bad LED backlights and in all honesty it's going to make more sense to buy a new TV but this time buy a name brand

A lot of people miss understand how the backlight circuit in the power supply works, you will get voltage testing to ground as its the B- side that's switched, the chassis ground and backlight B- are not connected. If you tested each LED strip and they're all good there has to be something else going on other than the typical backlight issue we see on so many LED sets.. I'm not an authorized service center for this brand TV so I don't have a service manual, if this set has separate power board and main test the bl_on pin on the power supply, you should have around 3.5 volts there, that's what tells the back light section of the power supply to turn on.If you don't then it's a bad main board
