GOOD! you have a good chance based on the age and NO power light.
I will give you an explanation and a photo.
All of the smaller LCD sets use a STANDBY power supply--it is up and running 7/24.
What happens here is they all cut corners making these sets--they use cheap filter caps in the standby power supply.
What will happen is after a few years the caps dry out--typical is 9 volt supply with 10 volt rated caps--saves them a lot of money when they make it but will not last long.
The good thing here is if you get the set open and follow the power cord to the power supply board you will be ABLE TO SEE THE BAD CAPS--the tops of them will be puffed up---they should (see photo) be perfectly flat on top--silver tops with creases made when produced.
I have seen lots of them here--same problem happens in a lot of desk top computers.....If you make 10,000 units and use under voltage rated caps--you save some money.
Usually three to seven bad caps--easy to replace if you can get at them.
Let me know what you find. Keep in mind I am in California and possible differences in time--I am usually here to respond between noon and nine pm PACIFIC TIME.

Answers & Comments
To know if I can help you please answer a few questions:
Does power light come on AT ALL?
What is age of the set?
Did you experience any problem trying to turn it on before this happened?
(like having to turn it on several times to get it to work)
I can suggest parts but need more information.
