After reconnecting the power cable to the mainboard, disconnect the ribbon cable from the main board to the screen. If the set powers up with the ribbon cable disconnected, the screen is probably the problem. Sometimes if the set powers on with the ribbon cable disconnected, reconnecting the cable while the set is on will allow the picture to come on, sometimes for a moment or two.

Thanks for the info, this will be helpful in the future, if I run across this issue again, unfortunately when me and my friend were trying to figure out how to open the TV up, we ended up accidentally breaking the ribbon cables off of the bottom of the LCD Panel which basically rendered the TV a dud. Unfortunately the TV was NOT servicer friendly because the cabinet was held together like how some remote controls are; where there's no screws holding things together just clamshell style tabs that require you to pry the case open carefully without breaking the case, which implies that they really didn't intend for the TV to be repaired...
