    Unless it comes out cold in the can.
    Turn the can upside down.

    This low voltage could be a bad secondary cap or one of the small startup caps in the primary
    That would be very wishful thinking on my part. I wonder if i could give it 5v from a 5v pin and see what happens

    Never had any experience with freeze sprays before
    Plot twist..the freeze sprays cost as much as a new eeprom lol

    If i was to try heating it again. How hot would you guys go? Mine goes up to 500.

    It certainly could be the eeprom, I have had luck with freezing the eeprom ic. But you need to unplug the tv, then freeze the eeprom, plug in the tv and try turing it on. The eeprom is read at plugin, after its pluged in heating or freezing usually has no effect

    Is there any tricks to possibly knowing a little be more certainly. Ive tried heating the eeprom up with a reflow station. Which ive heard some people do successfully. But i only used 150 f cause i didnt want to damage it if it wasnt the problem.

    The voltage doesnt change between on and off. I really believe the tv is immediately trying to turn on when you plug it in though. On the other pboards ive worked on the main 12 and 24v lines are way lower voltage on standby then jump to the correct voltage when on. I could be wrong though

    Thats better, Ok so it is the whole tv that won't turn on. Can you post a clear picture of the back of the power supply board, If that standby voltage is only 3 volts and it should be 5 volts that would cause the problem.

    It used to be that it took a few tries to get it on. Then it took unplugging it several times. My mom ended up leaving it on for weeks at a time with no issue. But it got turned off when i visited once and it never came on again.

    And the TV shows no signs of life when you try to turn it on. It has a red standby light that doesn't blink or change when you hit the on button

    I see your 5VSB is only 3 volts, that should be 5 volts I believe but could be wrong

    Also can you attach the pictures to the thread
    Just saw your edit. Heres the pictures

    Yep. Any knowledge on getting the backlights on? I read some other elements people said a 1k res from 5v to bl on would do it. But that was for different models. I want to be sure.

    My moms on a disabled income and this may very well be the only tv she can afford for awhile. Id really like to get it working again

    There are a couple other voltages like the standby AL+3.3V

    I believe the 12 volts is actually AMP+13V
    Is this a BA3AU0F0102 3 power supply board?
    No voltage changes on any of the pins upon hitting the button. You hear no clicking or anything like that. I did check on the main to be sure the button was working. I see voltage drops when you hit the on button so i think thats working.

    I could be way off base here but isnt it not normal to have all the voltages on in standby mode?

    Edit also my p on is 5 v not 21!?
