I have a vizio vp50 hdtv20a. A while back we turned it on no picture and it started to smoke. After reading a little about it I decided to take off back panel and see if I could locate burnt part. Could not locate burnt part so repair man came and we plugged in set with back off and turned set on. Resisters on y main board started to get red and start to smoke. So we figured it was a bad y main board. Repair man said he would order part and get back with us in couple days. Three weeks later I ordered part myself replaced part plugged it in and turned on set and same problem. Set started smoking haven't took back off to see if it's resisters on y main board but sure it is. Tv clicks like its coming on but black screen and smoke

That board directly connects to the display panel---you may have a bad display panel which if is the case is fatal---panel alone will cost more than the set did when new----seen this before in the shop where I repair sets.

SOURCE: TV Won't Turn On

I purchased the TV using AMX card 18 month ago. They have an extended 1 year warranty on top of manufactory's. I just have this set repaired: replaced SD board, total charge is $550. I already file a claim and hope to get reimbursed soon.

SOURCE: No Picture

I would check the soldering first for any cracks, and any obvious faulty capacitors or components. It looks like the power board is going into a protective mode because of a short / failed component somewhere.

It would be virtually impossible to guess exactly where with a spot check..

Vizio model vp50 HDTV20A screen is dim everything works fine however te screen is dim and looks like there is a menu burnt into the background how do I fix this?

Sorry to say, but is sounds as if the TV has been heavily abused.

The menu burn can't be undone. All you can do is age the other parts of the screen to catch up. But that presumes that there's enough life left in the phosphor display to do that. It sounds like there isn't. Sorry, but from what you wrote I think this TV is past salvaging.

Why does my vp50 hdtv20a turns on for about five minutes and then turns itself off

sounds like you have a bad capacitor(s). my TV did the same thing, so I removed the back of the TV and looked at them and noticed (9) of them were bulged at the top ( should look flat). I am no electrician by any means but was able to replace them with a slightly higher voltage myself for around $45 instead of someone servicing it for $400

Can't remove tv stand from vizio p50 hdtv20A

You have to unscrew the stand from the set, the screws are on the back. I believe there are a total of 8 screws. You will then have to lift the set off of the stand.

Power Light comes on but no picture or sound.

for your VP50, it could just be simple as a power supply but it could also means more. Do you have the amber LED light when off and green when on? if so, try the main board first. If that doesn't resolve the problem, then change the sustainer boards.
