Sorry about posting another question similiar to others previously posted, but I've read through many of them and haven't been able to get the clue I need to move forward. I have an Akai cftd2052 flat panel lcd tv with dvd combo. Power turns on, it will accept and play a dvd with perfect sound, but absolutely no display - no shadows, no visual noise at startup, nothing visible when a flashlight is shined on it or the screen is pressed lightly. From what I have been reading, this would seem to suggest that the power is not getting to the backlights. I have the service manual and tracing backwards, it goes backlights, backlight pcb, lcd pcb, power pcb. I've visually inspected the boards and cannot find any obvious fouled caps. I'd like to take a stab at getting this to work, but need a better troubleshooter's advice here about where to start. See attached pictures of the boards... I tried to attach the service manual (.pdf), but this thread would not accept it for some reason. I can PM it to anyone who would like to take a look. I can also take more (better) pics if it would help.

Check the voltages at the connector, they are often labeled. Also, there might be a fuse at the right end of that series of SMD caps. Check that. A much better picture of that would be helpful if you can't find a fuse, or figure out what the voltages should be. Note that the inverter is turned on and off by the main board.
