I googled the model and symptoms, and I wasn't the only person having the
same issue. Also due to the age of the TV, it was made in a period when a
bunch of bad capacitors were being made. One article explained the voltage rat
ings were barely sufficient and would cause caps to fail. Some looked
swollen, but others showed no visible sign unless they were unsoldered and
checked with a VOM. The kit included every cap from the power board, and
were of a much higher grade and better voltage ratings.
I was given a couple of dead LCD computer displays because they wouldn't power
up, and I was able to fix them all by looking for bulged or leaking
capacitors on the power board. I have also witnessed bad caps on pc
motherboards that swelled up and leaked.
