A lot of the time it is just 1-2 capacitors that pop and damage the power supply or something similar and once they are replaced, they work again for years.

There's some "tv repair shop" channels on youtube that's interesting/nostalgic to watch.

On the older ones it was mostly checking the soldering - years of being warmed up and cooled down would cause cracking. A quick touch-up with some fresh solder would generally sort things out.
