Ugh. After almost two years of flawless service, it died this morning. I turned it on, heard the usual internal click, then nothing. I'm thinking there might be a circuit breaker reset on the back somewhere ? Problem right now is that there's no way I can move it by myself to take a look

I haven't heard of too many late model sets, that used a circuit breaker.
Probably an electrolytic dried out in the voltage regulator circuit.
First thing I would do is plug it in a variac and start it at a lower input voltage. Like 105 volts and see what happens.

Our circa 2005 Panasonic TAU 32" suffered the same fate. Only lasted 6 years! Nice picture. It was 4:3, 1080i HD and had a HDMI port.
