Samsung PN51E530 Malfunctioning

Can't Post

A bit of story. I bought a PN51E530 some time ago and my nephew smashed the screen with a fire poker. In an attempt to get it warrantied, I called up a local shop and had it replaced with a panel that was having issues of its own, but he apparently never diagnosed it. With an un-smashed screen, I got the money back for a malfunctioning TV, so I am pretty even right now.
So, I have what I "BELIEVE" are all my original boards on the back of a previously perfectly functioning TV, as well as a panel that LOOKS fine, but wasn't working, so possibly a busted panel, or maybe a problem with one of its boards.
So, trying to turn the TV on (good panel, probably it's original boards but APPARENTLY my power supply), resulted in 3 clicks and a bunch of random blinks on the LED, but no sounds or anything. I unplugged the powersupply from whatever board is right beside it. Trying to turn on the TV resulted in the starting sound, then obviously nothing (as all the video boards weren't connected).
So, I surmised it was an issue with one of the other 3 boards so I swapped them from my cracked panel. Turning the TV on NOW results in the starting sound (similar to what I got with the video boards disconnected previously), and VERY quickly I see colourful snow (it has a pattern I can kindof see, but it's definitely heavily garbled). It also, when starting, blinks exactly 6 times every time. Also, the "control board" blinks 5 seconds on and 2 seconds off over and over.
So, I have no idea how to diagnose the problem, so I would appreciate any help anyone has. I am hoping that the TV repair guy lied to me and the powersupply was actually swapped (I know they're a problem, so I could imagine him taking my working one and replacing it with a busted one) meaning it's a powersupply problem.
Edit: This is my TV; I've swapped out the far left "tall long" board, the left "square board attached to it", the "far right tall board", and the middle little square one. I don't have a spare power supply, nor do I have a spare video input board.
