Possibly but I recommend that you refer this to a qualified service shop.  Without the proper test equipment you'll wind up doing black-box part swapping which will become expensive.

You might be better off just buying as new TV.

You can try purchasing a factory service manual: http://www.service-manual.net/ashop/catalogue.php?exp=&cat=184&gclid=CJmtnpScnaoCFQFvbAodkSoE1Q

same thing happened to me, lightning followed the cable in, tv turns on but is all green and choppy, tech said it needs a new main board and power board. I dont know if yours has a green screen or not, but if it does those are the parts to replace. if it runs differently maybe you just need the power board. We are in the process of claiming it on our homeowners insurance which they said they will cover it and either replace or repair it.
