Check the switch mode power supply inside the TV.
Caution.... lethal voltages
The power button is digital these days. That is... it does not have the AC power directly connected to it. Like a normal appliance.
It's a Computer.
Nowadays, the switchmode power supply module converts the incoming AC power to the lower DC voltages required by the other circuit boards.
It uses lots of Electrolytic Capacitors to clean up noise in the DC power. Being Electrolytic they are prone to leaking & bulging so they don't do their job. They won't hold a charge. By pulling the plug and restarting, you have found a way to overcome the problem. But only temporarily. When the Cap goes fully bad, you won't be able to start the TV any more.
*************************************
There's a good chance you have failing electrolytic capacitors either in the power section or the inverter section or both.
Any caps in these sections that look bulged at the top, or bulged/leaking at the bottom need to be replaced.
If you repeatedly turn it off and on, eventually it'll probably stay on, but every time you turn it off, the TV will get harder and harder to start up until one day it just won't.
Sometimes you have to do the opposite to start it up and unplug it for some time and then try again.
If you aren't tech savvy, don't worry, read the rest of this solution and watch the videos.
If you are handy with a soldering iron and can identify the power supply and inverter / FM section for the backlights, an inexpensive handful of capacitors will likely fix you right up.
Match the capacitance on the capacitors. Go over voltage if you can, and still have them fit.
IE - it's not a bad idea to replace a 10V cap with a 16V or 25V or even a 50V, but don't replace a 680uF cap with a 500uF or a 1000uF (unless you are positive it's only doing ripple filtering, and even then, you should go OVER, not under the uF rating).
Most of the caps that go are 5v to 25V 1000uF or 3300uF.
Replacement Caps can be slightly higher values (not lower) depending on available space.
Also... a higher temperature rating is beneficial.

NOTE: Even when Disconnected from the Mains.... Capacitors on the SwitchMode Power Supply board on the 110vac / 240vac Mains Side....can supply a shock hazard to unwary people.
The DC Side is far safer at 5 to 20v
But... There is no Really High 15 to 25Kv inside Digital TV's any more. So... You don't need to leave TV disconnected for a day to discharge these voltages as stated in the attached video.

Hi A common problem for these is bad capacitors in the power supply, Remove the back from your Tv and look at the power supply on the left hand side.
You will see roughly around 9 x capacitors that are bulged / domed shaped on top usually these are valued at 3300uf 10V any that have bulged or leaked a brown like substance should be changed. This will cure the problem as they overheat being sat next to a heatsink that gets very hot! Try and change them for the same 3300uf but a higher voltage. Hope this helps
Hi.Your television have problem in power. maybe the power suply of your tv have loose connection or have open circuit and may contact sometimes when its move it.So you better check the power supply if is good or have output voltage.

Try and change them for the same 3300uf but a higher voltage.if otherwise, the power supply board is dead, u know basic electronics' and soldering? Most of the times, the power supply board just have dead leakages gases capacitors.These capacitors always bulges up on it top,or puff up on it top.Replaced these gases leakages capacitors will get your TV power stable,and work again.Or tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.
Hope this will help to fix the problem and do take care in handling the problem.....
Most time if the caps don't look like they are bulged or out of place then probably they are not bad, and caps are soldered in place. Are there any lights in from or in back on?

Should have been 3300 UF 10V caps that were bad? Shouls have been replaced with 3300UF 18V. 50V is huge. If it was replaced with a 50 the polarity may be wrong or the cap it too big to be seated property. Sometimes the caps just dry out and even a normal looking one will be the culprit of no OSD. Are you getting an LED fault code blinking? That should be a red led. Do you hear the relay clicking.? When you replaced the caps did you charge them? Just plugging in the set without trying to power it on for about 20-30 mins. I may be able to help you
Bad capacitors...! Remove rear panel cover from tv. Most require a star screwdriver. Look for bulging caps in power supply board. (3300uf 10v ) caps need to be replaced with 3300uf 16v. Identify the bad caps.... Caps are bad when they are bulged/bulged and raised. A good Cap is flat X top not raised or buldged. I have pics of what bad caps look like on these boards. Email me if you would like to to see them. Caps cost abywhere from 1-2 dollars or you can buy them in lots of 10 or 12 on ebay for around 8 bucks. Caps need to be soldered on. Do it yourself (if confortable) or take it to a tech/pc repair shop in your local area. Do do that unplug all the wire harness from the board and unscrew the boarda nd take to your teck to solder on the new caps.
You can fix this for about 20 bucks if you have someone else solder or 40 cents if you buy the caps on ebay and replace the 2 bad ones yourself. If one is bad and the other is not replace them both.
The caps go bad because they need to be a higher voltage. 10 insn't enough..... 16 is plenty and don't go any higher than that.
