First off, I have searched the forums a little bit and found lots of results for similar issues that I am having with my TV. However, I have absolutely no idea what any of the technical jargon meant. I have no experience with repairing TVs at all. The only limited experience I have is repairing XBOX 360 controllers. Please talk to me as if I know nothing about TVs besides how to turn them on and off and channel surf.
The TV was given to me, and I took it knowing that it didn't work. I figured if I could fix it for less than $50, I'd have a nice little TV for super cheap.
I've had it for a while, and decided to start looking into fixing it today. I took the back off of the TV, expecting to find some blown caps, but nothing looks out of the ordinary to me. There are no puffed ends on any caps, no burn marks on the power supply board, nothing. It does not turn on at all. No light or anything turns on when I click the power button.
Here are a couple of pictures. I haven't done ANYTHING to the TV yet besides try to turn it on and take the back off.
Where do I go from here?
