Try this if repairing yourself...find power supply, small board with no cover over it...check voltages on output pins/plug/connectors (white plugs) three in a row...
1 Plug has 24Volt supply..1 has 12Volt supply and 1 has 5Volt supply when read to ground (screw that holds board in) if you have these voltages it's a safe bet it's the main control board...I just replaced mine and it fixed a problem like yours.

It can be the unstable power supply due to bad DC filter caps, bad T-CON boards, main board.
I would inspect the power supply first for caps with domed tops.

Parts: www.shopjimmy.com
Capacitors kit: http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/Default.aspx he can make you a set of caps.
Or www.digikey.com just make sure to use caps with low ESR, 105c, high ripple current, long life rating such as PANASONIC FM or FC series.
Please leave rating if it helps.

Vw42L tv comes on withpicture for 5-10 seconds and screen goes black ,sound is still on

Most likely you either have a defective backlight inverter, bad back lamp. Based off of your model #, I'm gonna lean towards a back lamp.

My vizio VW42L has a picture, but the sound went out....how can we get the sound back

Use your remote and find RESET from the settings. I have a tendency to reset the sound on my TV's with all of my remotes, sometimes a different remote for a different TV or stereo will do something funky and turn off my sound the only way to get it back is to reset the settings and reprogram the channels.

42" vizio vw42l - no picture or sound

If the backlights for the screen do come on and you also have 12v and 5v feed the main board then it does sound like the mainboard will need to be replaced.

Can't read Subtitles

Look on your TV remote for an aspect button. There are usually several different aspects to choose from.
