Most TVs these days are basically computers with gigantic monitors built
in.  Before taking it anywhere, you might Google the problem a bit. If
it's a common problem, there might be a forum post or YouTube video that
describes exactly what part failed and how to replace it. (And, like a
computer, if it just fails to turn on, it's probably a bad power supply.)

Random side note: I know there's at least one brand that runs Linux on
their whole line of big-screen TVs. Can't remember the name, though...
