Mend Mitsubishi VS-50501A Turn Power Button

How can I fix my Mitsubishi TV model # VS-50501A?

One evening, the TV just shut off all by itself. When I tried to turn it back on by pushing the power button, the little green timer light to the left of the power button lights up with a click for only a few seconds and immediately shuts down. I've tried recycling the set by unplugging it, tried powering it on with the remote with the same consequences, and tried vacuuming out the insides and look for obvious causes; arcs, fried wires etc with no success. Please help. TY DK
