I can't turn on my Norcent TV with the power button. The power button is onhowever it won't turn green (to turn on power) unless I unplug from the outlet multiple times. It will eventually catch and come on.

Check your remote batteries.

I had a TV remote that would do some weird things when the batteries were dying, like the problems you describe.

Right now the standby 5vdc is working but it may have gone into safety shutdown due to failed power supply or shorted circuits in the backlight inverter board. You need to troubleshoot it to narrow down the causes first before buying the wrong parts.
