Sharp LCD model LC-32GA9E

[PowerAmpFreak]

Hello. I've the chance of buying a faulty Sharp LCD 32" model LC-32GA9E very cheap. Of course, it's interesting to know if this is a good move or not..
the failure is that when turning it on, the standby led goes from red to green some seconds, after a few seconds it goes back to red.
No picture is seen during this time.
Of course it's very hard to diagnose this problem from basic fault description, but I have absolutely NO experience from Sharp, maybe anyone can give a hint what's going on. Faulty panel is what I don't want to find out later...

Sounds a little like what I have with a Sharp LG-37GD6. In this case the backlights come on, then everything goes back to standby.

So far I haven't gotten very far into it. It's about 4 layers deep, the power supply is on the bottom layer, and I swear every screw is a different diameter or length. The service manual gives disassembly instructions - 6 pages of them!!!
