Polaroid 42 LCD TV - No backlights

I have a POLAROID LCD TV model TLX-04244B. When I press the power button, I can see the Polaroid logo for a split second and then all of the backlights turn off and the screen turns black. When I shine a flashlight on the screen, I can see all images perfectly. Also, the sound works fine. Do you know if this is a power supply board replacement fix? Not sure if it matters but there is a blinking red light on the power supply board. Also, I have visually checked the power supply board capacitors and they all seem fine.

Inverter board failure.

Testimonial: "It is possible to replace just the transformers, or is the entire board typically replaced. With this model, I believe the power supply and inverter board are integrated."

The Inverter is trying to produce the high voltage to light the backlight. It looks like it cannot hold the charge to maintain the high voltage level in order for it to stay on - you get a momentary display at initial power-up thus see the logo. Replace the Inverter board.
