Was there a storm or a power outage at all just before the TV failed to turn on?
Disconnect the power to the TV and then remove the back cover from the TV and use your Tacklife MF tester in ''continuity mode'' and check that the fuse on the power board is OK.
Here's an image showing where it is located on the board.

If the fuse is OK then unfortunately since your tester cannot check for voltage values it is hard to know whether the problem is in the power board or the mainboard.

If you happen to know someone who has a DMM (digital multimeter) that you can borrow, you can use it to measure the standby voltage on the power board. This voltage is a signal voltage that is sent from the power board to the mainboard to indicate that power is available to the TV and it is the mainboard, upon receipt of this voltage signal that turns on the red LED standby power LED.

Here's an image that shows the standby voltage signal reference point on the board. In the standby state it should be 8V DC
