Seiki TV no picture or sound

I have a Seiki SE551GS TV that is only 4 years old. 4 days ago the picture and sound went out while watching tv. I can turn on the TV as the red standby light changes to blue, but after that there is no picture or sound. I tried the Flashlight test, but have not seen anything. I did the hard reset as well with no success. A friend told me the Main Board needs to be replaced, so I looking for confirmation or any other input.

after you make repairs you can remove the 4A AC fuse and jumper a 150W light bulb across it. When set is turned on and no shorts are present, the bulb will glow. If it comes on bright, immediately turn off TV. More work needs to be done. If when Negative lead of VOM is connected to TP3 and the Positive lead to TP7 and with Plug P108 unplugged from power supply panel you have a low ohms reading, be sure to check D20 with one side lifted out of board. It is in series with a small RF choke and will read shorted if not unsoldered.

If the lamp has been replaced I would think the Lamp ballast would be most likliest followed by the color wheel and then the Digital board. You can get any part needed for your model at www.tvrepairworld.com just leave them a email they respond quickly.

Our screen went black no picture only sound

Try a hard restart, which simply means unplugging the power cord of the TV, and replugging it after 4 hours have passed. If this does not bring the picture back, then you should consider buying a new TV. The costs of a repair ( labor and parts) might exceed the cost of a new TV. Your 10 year old TV has served you well, and has exceeded the average life expectancy of 5 years. May it rest in peace in TV heaven.
