samsung blows fuse

[kngamble]

I have a 13 month old (conviently out of warranty) Samsung TX-T2782 TV that is used exclusively for video games. The other day we turned it on and the screen flashed briefly and then went dark. There is no LED light showing. Removed the rear cover and ohmed the fuse. Fuse was blown. Replaced fuse and LED lit up. I turned the set on and the fuse blew right away. Has any one experienced this problem/what is the likely repair needed. One guess was that the ballast was shorted.
