Only sounds when turned on, showing grey screen

My 65 inch tv stopped working. I’ve had it less than 5 years. Everytime I try to turn it on it shows a grey screen. I’ll try to use the remote but can only hear the sounds of me clicking through the menu. I’ve tried checking the hardware, changing plugins, and letting it rest. It’s not connected to a wifi source. I’m hoping there’s a DIY fix because I can’t afford replacement parts. My warranty is out of range to try and return it. Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with it? I’d hate to take it into a shop and be charged the same price as the tv.

Re: Only sounds when turned on, showing grey screen

If you shine a bright light on the screen, can you see any image at all?  If so, your backlight has most likely failed.  You'd have to decide if you're capable of replacing the part(s) assuming they can be found.
