This 42" LCD TV had no power, possibly due to a surge. Power supply is labeled as 715G3858-P01-W30-003U.
5A main fuse open, but the main problem here is that IC905 (DIP-8 PWM regulator) has violently blown and the top layer has disappeared, making impossible to identify it. Sometimes I find the pieces inside the cover and I’m able to reconstruct its "face", but no luck this time.
I google a bit and I find I’m not the only one. Finally there’re two sources stating this is a Power Integrations TNY277PN (or TNY277PG, it’s functionally the same). Also recommend to check zener ZD907 (Philips BZX79-C9V1). No problems with other diodes. I just detect that one of the 3 main 450V filter caps has subtly leaked through one leg (none bulged). I replace it.
Since I don’t have any TNY277, I try with a TNY275. This is the Standby regulator, so it’s expected that 15W should be enough. I try it briefly and it works. Then I order the right IC, just for peace of mind.
