I had a power surge and the television won't power up. Get a flashing red light (3 flashes, about 3 second interval). Tried holding the power switch and waiting, didn't work. Also left it unplugged overnight, to no avail.

I opened up the back. I have seen some suggestions about what to replace on the power board, including a switching mechanism.

I am about 10% competent at these things, comfortable doing some basic soldering and finding my way around the boards, but please help!!

Thank you
