No standby red light, nothing
This Sony has a separate AC->DC power adapter supplying 19.5V to the TV power board (JK3)

Disconnected JK3 power board from main board, checked voltages on all the pin outs
At a few pins I can see the power supply providing 19.5V to the main board


Based on the service manual triage.. it seems to be pointing towards the power board (JK3) being the most possible culprit

LED light turns on when I disconnect LED driver board ribbon from mainboard (so i thought it is the mainboard, since i've read previous posts stating it's this).
Some more questions
1. Does the 12v supply to TCON only turn on when the power button is pressed on? Though i pressed the physical power button and could not see any voltage on the TCON pins (on the JK3 power board)
2. I can’t find the standby power pin on the JK3 board power diagram. None of the power supply pins give a 3.3V / 5V output. Not sure if this is the problem
Which brings me to.. it seems strange that there’s 19.5V output to main board, but no 3.3/5V output
4. Have already swapped the main board, but doesn’t seem to work. I bought from a reputable seller with good feedback from other buyers, but still can’t rule out the replacement mainboard is faulty
I attached more pictures below with details, hope to learn more from all of you. Is there anything else I should check? Thanks in advance
I extracted the diagrams from the service manual, link below:
