My 2 year old Samsung 55" LED looked like this a few days ago. The power supply failed and the HDMI ports. I think a lightening strike was the cause. A little googled work yielded Jimmyshop.com. They sold me all both boards, new Wifi module and cables for $68. It took me about 45 minutes to replace the boards and I'm back in business. I wonder how many flatscreens are binned for similar problems?
Here's the main issue, the power supply board failed. Four screws and two cable connects, easier than working on a laptop. The HMDMI ports failed a few weeks ago. I thought it was my TIVO unit but when I had a temporary set in place of this Samsung, the TIVO and TV HDMI ports worked fine. The picture is better with HDMI (versus component cables), so that is also a win.
