I found a 4yo tv by the trash - I understand why. When i try to power on, it lights up for less than a second, then immediately goes black. I've tried a factory reset/power cycle; no dice. The logo appears very dimly and can be seen with a flashlight on boot. So my idiot question: does anything in the boards look suspicious, or is it the LED backlights? It's $40 for a new power supply board, $40 for new backlights, and totally free to just throw it back from whence it came, but I'd really rather not (e)waste it if I can give it new life. Obviously swapping the board is way easier than the leds, but the led work may be over my time/patience limit. Fwiw its a 2023/4 Insignia ns-55f301na22 - would appreciate insight/advice!

It's not a lot, but man oh man, I'm so glad I have 25.8tb free in my NAS... with prices the way they are, I don't ever see the ability to expand. I've also got my 2x16tb ext hdd backups, and 2x18tb cold storage swappables, but seriously, prices now are completely insane. There's no way I'll ever be able to afford more, and never ever could've gotten this far at today's rates. How do you guys cope with it, and what's your strategy for keep v purge (blasphemy, I know) moving forward?

Given the current state of things, though I'm not at all mad about buying these things cheaply about 3 years back, I'm wondering if they're overkill for my setup? I used revad's script to create an nvme storage pool on a 1520+, and then dumped my Plex install on to it. Definitely don't use even half the capacity, just bought them on a whim with room to expand!
