I swapped the speaker leads over on the outlet pcb and the same 2 output
transistors heated up , so verified not a crowbar problem.
First guess (1 to 2 sec timing) its a problem with or associated with
one of the 22uF 50V caps in the splitter section. At least with no minor
supplies connected , its not an preceeding op-amp problem.

I noticed that, but that's good. It means I can go out of town
without worrying who is feeding my case.

It also says
Power: 3V (5 batteries)
 
That seems interesting.

My experience with this was finding a TV in the flats bin room that was made
by a well known Turkish company (Vestel).
 
Apparently LED failure is one of a long list of stock
faults.....................................
 
Unfortunately I cracked the LCD panel putting it back together, but I
learned a fair bit from the excercise.
 
Each LED had a plastic lens extruded on, I had to melt these with a
soldering iron to peel them off. The iron wouldn't shift the SMD LEDs.
 
It took a modeler's pencil blowtorch to shift the dud LED chips, after that
I used a small roll of emery paper to clean off some solder resist and
attach some power LEDs I had to hand.
 
You can re-touch the PCB around the replaced LEDs with correction fluid.
 
If its a Vestel - you'll probably find a few more LEDs that tested OK have
given up..............................

This is the video I watched, it's for a 47" LG, mines 50", I don't have the
space to work like that and wouldn't feel confident dismantling the screen
anyway.
Local shop say they'll look at it and give me an estimate so that's probably
what I'll do, thing is this TV is only 2 years old and the same fault may
recur. I've decided to buy a 55" Sony with 5 year warranty and giving the
LG to a family member if they want to pay for the repair.
 
Update on this, was very careful dismantling the screen and using a variable
power supply found a duff LED on 2 of the 12 strips. Easily found using the
part no. on them, expensive at £25 each. I've reduced the backlight current
to hopefully make them last longer, it seems LG set the default at maximum!
It wasn't as difficult as I had expected and if doing it again I'd try
replacing individual LED's, I have a few spares now.
