This set has a switched mode power supply and is in a standby mode even when the set is off. This power supply WILL be damaged with 240 volts and the Electrician would surely be liable. I would, at the very least, check with your home owners insurance.
You should not have to pay for or be responsible for the actions of another.
Hope this helps.

| i would guess that the electrician was probably a do-it-yourselfer. no electrician worth their salt would ever make such an elementary mistake. |

| I would guess you're looking at a couple of fried capacitors in the primary stages of the power supply. With that kind of situation, you could be looking at any number of things though. |

I think I would also check the bridge rectifiers for being shorted while you have the board out for repair. The downside is that after your get the power supply up and running, it is quite possible other parts of set have been damaged. Although it is less likely.
