my tv was dropped and now when I turn it on it goes back into standby mode after about three seconds what can be done to fix this. I ve already unplugged for an hour trying to reset it

sounds like you have cracked the pcb(printed circuit board),or maybe a dry solder joint,either way it points to the power supply to as why its in standby mode,take it apart and look for any obvious cracks on the circuit board,if you find any bridge solder over where the breaks are,hope this helps
