[Help] OLD TV issue - Samsung UE55C8000XPXZT (feddit.it)

I have an old Samsung UE55C8000XPXZT that after a storm started to shutdown itself after a few minutes of use. While I'm using it for the few minutes it stays on, it behave normally, after that the display flashes a couple times and it turns off (but the TV is still on even tho black screen and no audio). To revive it I have to unplug the power and leave it rest for a while.

Here is a video of the board: https://streamable.com/lvaxhh

Maybe someone can help me identify the issue. I'm quite affectionate to this TV and I'm all in for saving money and the environment without going for a new one.

This is not true. However OP, I'm pretty sure you don't have the knowledge to fix this kind of damage. I suggest to look for an electronics technician that can help you out. Depending on your budget, it might be cheaper to buy a new one than to pay to get it fixed but if it has sentimental value or it's just a dumb TV (nowadays that is a feature IMHO)...
