Posting pictures of the back of your tv showing the boards with clear pictures may help you more with fixing your problem

I'd check for loose connectors, cold solder joints... maybe a loose bulb connection somewhere.

A bit of a old thread,this is quite common,caused by a dry joint on the inver tx on the psu.
May help someone in the future though..
