MacGuyver over here

Feeling quite accomplished right now. Sitting watching the Giants game and my TV goes out... Still can hear everything just no picture. So I jump on Google and find the flashlight test which is basically hold it very close and see if there is a picture and sure enough, I could make it very faintly.

I then found a YouTube video about changing out the power supply and just as I was about to buy one, another video popped up on how to fix the current one. Figured it couldn't hurt to try and after resoldering 8 TINY connections, I'm back in business. All of this took less than 30 minutes. Even impressed my wife!

This tiny connections we're so damn close, I'm shocked I didn't bridge any of them together. Better lucky than good any day!
