Neon 32" LCD C3298F No Video

Can't Post

Hi guys,
I've just been given a broken Neon C3298F 32" LCD tv by the grandparents, as we are moving into a new house on friday, and we have literally nothing.
I understand its a Samsung LCD panel, then everything else is cheap chinese, rebranded by one of our UK supermarkets, so i'm not expecting wonders from it, but if i can get it working, it'd save me a couple of hundred quid on a new one.
I fix PCs for a living, so im not scared of taking it to bits (I've already broken it open, and all the caps look ok to visual inspection) - but im not really sure where to go from here.
The symptoms are:
It powers on, and the power LED flashes red 4 or 5 times, then goes solid.
The screen lights up (Still black, but it has obviously powered on), then a few seconds later you get Audio from the DVB, which the grandparents had been using before.
Thats as far as it gets - it reponds to the remote, but i can never get any video out of it, and there is no evident picture/menu on screen.
Any suggestions where to start? There was a spare inverter on Ebay for £7, so i bought that anyway, just in case, but it hasn't turned up yet. Are there any tests i can do to narrow the likely fault down?
Cheers
