Surprised to hear that the HDMI input connector is burnt, however have you tried another HDMI port? If none of the HDMI inputs are working then a software updat could fix it or the HDMI switching IC maybe at fault. If you get a picture from the spare HDMI ports then the faulty HDMI socket can be replaced by an engineer.

There is no repair to this board. Replace the card with same number.

Check its speakers first. If they are found OK, check and replace the audio output card. Check the voltage to this card from main power supply regulator board.

If picture only one side or only top or bottom set uses two boards to drive the screen, either one of them is bad or the actual display panel itself--it is the entire screen unit where the picture is displayed.

I see so many here with no sound/nopicture issues:ISSUES: 1. IF sound main fuse/s are good.2. If no power or standby check main fuse, standby power supply and any signsof damage you can see---burnt parts etc.3. almost all these sets the troubleshooting involves checking voltages on the main power board to narrow down theproblem.4. Be safe and if you do not know what you are doing don't open the set.Answers to issues:1. RE:fuses---if a blown fuse is found get a good replacement(not the genericones like Radio Shack). Many fuses are special even aside from amperage--Don'tput a higher rated amperage fuse in the set for any reason.2. RE: power supply in set: if total dead aside from main fuse the set uses astandby power supply that runs 7/24 and a main supply (some are combined andsome not.Here aside from checking fuses you want to examine all the filter caps on thepower/standby to see if any are puffed up or buldged up in some fashion--Iattach a photo of a good one---top should be silver metal and PERFECTLY flatand have no brown material coming out on top or bottom.What happens in the standby area is they use caps with too low a voltage rating(saves money) which causes them to fail in a year or two---the standby runs7/24 and the heat dries out the caps and they fail.3. Trouble shooting consists of the above and then at some point you have to buyand try a board to see if it fixes it or not.4. Safety first--no TV set is worth getting injured or even killed over.If set is opened at least look for puffed up and bad caps like in thisphoto.

Maybe a tuner problem--considered hooking up whatever you use for signal to the rear av jacks? bypass the problem?
