lg 42ln5700 no power, no standby light

[StinkyOnion]

PO claims tv was hit by lightning. Checked standby voltages on the two pins on the ps board going to main board and measured 7v on both. Also checked transformer el47 and got no reading and a .3 reading on a capacitor labeled c508. This all before I believe I blew the fuse closest to cord plug in. Now the fuse is reading 120v one side and .3 the other and so is pretty much every other ic is the approx. reading.

This is my first attempt at tv repair so any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.ty

You can start by uploading good clear pictures of the back side of the TV so we can see how all the boards are connected together, then the pictures of the whole power supply board.

I found a service manual for another similar model but I was hoping to apply it to this tv

So both fuses are blown?

Only the fuse closest to the plug is blown. The other fuse is reading .3 all the way across

Fried the board with my Weller 40 watt iron at max setting attempting to desolder a fuse. Got most of the components out. It was an awesome newbie experience. I'm wondering if I should purchase the Ps board and progress my diagnosis or start on another r&d project.
