Picture too dark on lcd hisense

Bypassing a board or a part on the board would be like removing the spark plugs from a car and expecting it to run. On a serious note, if the TV has lightning damage recycle it and buy a new TV, you may be able to turn in a claim to your insurance company, once a set has storm damage even replacing a board may not fix it long term, in our service center we usually won't repair a TV the customer advises of lightning damage,it's a good way to get call backs

Total right off unfortunately. 125,000 volts is very damaging to all the components. Claim on house insurance, some cover it.

If it struck by lightning its cooked . We got hit by lightning blew the phone off the wall cooked the phone boxes and blew the tv .

You need to report to your homeowners insurance. It is normally about as cheap to buy TV nowadays as to repair. Especially one hit by lightning.

All of the details are on their warranty page.

If you have electronics experience then you can check the power supply board for fuses or damaged components.

Most TV repairers will give you a quote for the repair at little or no cost so have your TV examined before scrapping it.

Hi:
Open the television and follow the power cord to the main power supply board the fuse will be near this cords contact plug check for blown 5amp fuse, if fuse is not blown then power supply took a shock and needs repair.

check your lamp first, owner's manual might have some help.

WOW!
Warranty voider there.
Hate to see a $1,000 TV go down the toilet.
If your lucky, you can try checking the fuses inside the TV.
The lightning may have taking out only your power supply board, shopjimmy.com may have replacements for about $100. But, I can't tell you for sure that will fix the problem.
You may have to take to a repair shop to find out for sure.
Good Luck

Sorry to here about your problem! This is the time of year I used to get tons and tons of sets, stereos ,games, and vcrs in for repair. On your panasonic it seems that maybe the surge took out the tuner portion or the power supply. It sould cost aprox. 200 bucks or so for a new tuner. Im sure your aware that homeowners will cover almost all repair after the deductable. Good Luck
