LG 50PS80ED problem

[Crackers_c]

We have a LG LCD tv. Model number 50PS80ED. The tv will turn on but instead of a lighter grey screen appearing as it boots before the image displays, it comes up with a very bright grey screen which remains for half a second then it reverts to a bright white screen with like pink smudges through it for a further half a second before the tv turns back off to standby.

It happens if you use the remote or the button on side of telly.

Same problem happened about a month ago but after leaving it unplugged for a couple of days it's worked ok up to now however I've tried to leave it unplugged for a few days again to no avail. Telly is about 2 years old so just out of warranty...

Start with pics. One of the entire back of the set then one of each board individually.
