Backlight failure. Sound and image work, but need a flashlight to see picture.

As title states, tv works, but backlight all the sudden stopped. Image is visible with a flashlight close to the screen. Attempted soft reset via home x10 and home x5, up, rr x2, ff x2. Doubt I have a warranty via seller, cause I don’t think if I bought from Best Buy or amazon. But it was probably two years ago. Ideas? Suggestions?

Roku only provides the OS and I doubt there's anything in there that would help.  I'd research the particular brand of TV for backlight issues.

Does it work when you power cycle the TV? In the last couple weeks my Roku TV's have been having this issue when waking up. I have the fast start feature enabled. My TV's are all TCL. A cheap 32" one and the newer-ish 6 series.
