That symptom may cause by the main board or t-con board, I suggest you do software up grade first.

With the lights in the room turned off, does your TV screen still glow when it is turned on even though there is no picture signal there?
If your screen stays completely black, then most often, this symptom is a result of a failing POWER SUPPLY, but a faulty BACKLIGHT INVERTER BOARD can certainly cause very similar symptoms. Unfortunately, without a donor TV to swap parts with or a dedicated test rig, it can be very difficult to differentiate between these problems.
One way to quickly test this is to remove the rear access panel on the TV and replace the power supply circuit board with a new one, since this is the most often the source of the trouble.
You can usually find replacement circuit boards online by searching for your TV's model number.
Here is a link to the SHOPJIMMY.COM parts supplier website with all the replacement circuit boards available for your model of TV:

And here is a link to a replacement BACKLIGHT INVERTER BOARD for your TV which is unfortunately currently out of stock. The online inventory does tend to change pretty regularly so if you do end up needing this part, you can always check back later to see if one becomes available:

The repair / replacement procedure is not extremely difficult if you have some basic electrical safety knowledge and some basic electronics / mechanical repair skills.
You will need to unplug the power cord from the unit, lay the TV screen side down on something soft and flat like a bed, and then remove the rear access panel or the entire rear cover as required in order to access the circuit boards inside.
When you remove the rear cover and access the circuit boards inside, just check the part number that is printed right on your circuit boards and confirm that they exactly match the ones provided in the online listing. Also make sure that any part you order is labelled "TESTED WORKING" in the condition description. Any part with a condition description of "AS IS" is probably faulty itself as well.
Then unclip and remove the various electrical wire connectors leading to the power supply circuit board. Then remove the screws securing the circuit board to the TV frame and then remove the power supply circuit board. Be sure to avoid touching any large capacitors on the circuit board which can retain a nasty charge even after the unit is unplugged.
Then just screw in the new circuit board and connect all the wire bundles to their appropriate connectors on the new circuit board and then replace the rear cover. Then plug in the power cord and test.
