You should be able to find a power supply for this set, if it is the kind of supply I'm thinking of (external to the TV and looking like a brick). Have you tried doing a Google search for this supply, using the TV's model number as a keyword?

The missing back panel makes me think someone may have tried in the past to repair this TV, without success. Even if you do find a power "brick" for it, this set may not work -- properly or at all.

Given the throwaway nature of today's flat-screen TVs, I wouldn't be surprised if your set was put out by the dumpster just because it quit -- the owner didn't know how or why, he just wanted it out of the house when it stopped working. (The same thing happens in the US all the time, not just with FP televisions, but just about everything else when whatever it is fails).

The owner may have deliberately omitted the power supply to eliminate the possibility of someone picking up the set, turning it on, and perhaps being greeted by smoke, sparks or worse. This is why, in the NTSC analog days, many old TVs were put out on curbs and so on with their interlock cords cut off -- the owners did not want people picking up these sets and possibly being shocked or injured because of the problem that caused the owner to discard the set in the first place.
