Lik2brew, Well here goes!! Your LCD panel, same as lcd panel in computer MONITOR, requires a little more than 120vac from the wall to create the cool, crisp, colorful images you see on the screen. It is my best GUESS, that your unit has a "FAILED" SMPS, or is "IN SHUTDOWN MODE" trying to save itself from having a catastrophic nonrecoverable event! e.g. sparks, smoke, fire. The SMART "switch-mode-power-supply" is designed to detect FAULTS with itself and other peripheral circuits. Your LCD TV is no different than the CLASSIC "BLACK-SCREEN of DEATH" that thousands of 14" to 32" LCD computer monitors suffer from!! Your set just has 2 more things to go wrong! A tuner, and audio processing circuits. While your waiting for the HOPS and BARLEY to ferment, surf over to YOUTUBE and view some of the longer video clips of typical "LCD monitor disassembly" and "LCD monitor repair" and find out what LCD owners do to fix them or to who they "farm out" the repair work to.!! If your screen had nice, bright, crisp, colorful images displayed on it just before the BSoD hit, then there is a good chance of effecting a lasting repair to the unit. If this was of some interest to you please rate on fixya. 12fixlouie
