Hit mute, TV screen went black

Hey guys, hit mute on my 2 1/2 year old samsung UE32F5500 TV today and the screen went black. I tried getting the screen back on, no luck. Plugged it out and turned it back on again, black screen with sound is the result. Anyone got any idea what the problem might be or whether it's going to be worth repairing? Cheers!

Just following up - brought it to the authorised repair people - €158 to fix it. Not worth it I reckon - something else will probably go on it. So instead I am going to smash it with a sledge hammer, super slo-mo, to express my disgust with Samsung. I'll post the vid when it's done.
