NOTE: TV WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED AS A D50U-D1. THIS HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
Issue: TV turns on, lights up, but displays no video.
Solution:
C106 surface mounted capacitor on the left panel board. Once this tiny capacitor is replaced, tv turns on without issue.
To find:
With TV turned off and panel boards (board connected directly to the panel) exposed, test for capacitor shorts. In this case, not only was C106 short, but it caused false shorts on other areas on the board. Replace, retest those that were short.
Capacitor was replaced with the same physical size capacitor. I do not know the exact rating.
Replacing the capacitor requires a microsoldering tip. You can get away with using hot air but I'd advise against that; the panel ribbons are too close the area that needs attention.
