Don’t want to segue too much, but is your goal here to repair the board or to repair the TV?
Nothing really looks totally busted, but the board has several parts that look mildly rough. Like I hate that fuse, but is it just dirty? If your goal is to do your part to not contribute more ewaste to the world and learn new things, I love it, but if you just want a working TV… new boards can frequently be crazy cheap, may be a plan especially if not sure what’s actually wrong with this one.

got this thing almost free so I’m taking my time. can’t afford to call a repairdude so I’m looking into learning how to fix it. had success with a previous find, replaced a coupla caps for backlight and got an awesome TV for less than $2.
so step 1, look for obviously busted caps and burned out shit and this post is to that end. if that fails, I’m on to step 2, determine if this can be repaired at all; like, if it’s the panel, give up right there. maybe learn something for the next one. and on and on.
