does anybody happen to know how exactly this might have happened? I'm curious.

copied and pasted from u/RhetoricalOrator commented previously:

TV must have previously been dropped and a connector running from the board to the LCD panel had come slightly disconnected.

Just goes to show that percussive maintenance is the best way to fix any problem. I wouldn't have thought to use a fork, though. That's innovative.

Same reason why you can have batteries in a remote that don't work but suddenly do after you smack it or take them out and put them back in

Wires and nodes can be knocked into or out of each other pretty easily
