So Ive had this one sitting in the garage for a bit, supposed to be fixing it for my dad. It presents with a blue led followed by 6 red blinks, according to the service manual it is a 5v rail failure. Now here is the interesting part, with a 330k resistor soldered into pin 11 (ps on) I get good ps readings as well as steady backlight with the ssb unplugged. It disappears when I plug in the ssb. Then I tried unplugging the tv and replugging with the ps on jumper in place and the tv works fine, can be shut off and turned back on even without the jumper in place until it is unplugged again, then it goes back to 6 blinks. Shop jimmy doesn't have any boards in stock and even if they did they want 100$ plus for a main board. Any ideas what on the main board could cause this? This unit has a chip designated viper that takes care of protection, I am guessing that the 5v isn't making it to the chip, but somehow does when the power supply is engaged.
