I popped the back off, and nothing looks fried.

Anyone out there have any experience with trying to have a modern TV repaired? Or is this just throw away item now?

I am going to ASSUME the TV was connected to a cable for the television signal. If this is the case the a surge probably came in through the cable to the TV. If you have an external tuner (like Comcast, or Spectrum, etc) test that device to see if it is working. Also, see if the TV has a fuse. Finally, unplug the TV wait several minutes, then plug in again and see if it resets and comes back on.
If all of this fails, then as suggested above contact the manufacturer and the store you bough it from to see about repair or replacement.
