At first the TV would take around 1 to two minutes to turn on, then after awhile of trying it turned into ten minutes. I would hit the power button and the orange stand by light would flash then it would just continue to stay off. I would have to turn it on by hitting the power button a few times and then would hold it for a second a white screen would appear then I would turn it off and back on and it would work. Now it won't turn on at all the standby light isn't even on I have unplugged it and plugged it back in. I left it unplugged for a day and then tried again still nothing.
YES SIREEE, THE BULDGING CAPACITORS ARE MOST LIKELY YOUR PROBLEM. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THEM OUT??? IF YOU DO, I WOULD SUGGEST REPLACING THEM WITH NICHICON OR PANASONIC CAPACITORS.
I have watched a few tutorials and it seems pretty straight forward. I just need to get a Soldering gun and a capacitor set.
Does the type of soldering gun matter? I was looking to go to walmart to get one. I am pretty tight on cash so I can't really buy something to expensive.
If you have any suggestions on where to find the capacitors for a good price let me know.
Hey Nate,
typically a 25 to 30watt soldering iron would be sufficient for most electronics repair work. As far as the capacitors, I recommend sticking with the same capacitance but you can go up in voltage rating. If the caps are 1000UF 16V, it's ok to replace then with 1000UF 35V.
I was wondering if you had a link to a trusted site where I could purchase the capacitors?
Thank you.

ok I'm just going to copy paste here being as this might work for you guys, I tried it my self but had no luck but my issue has slightly different behavior(led goes green for a second before dieing). any event here is what I found:

Uses A Diode, Other Uses A 10k Resistor, Try Either. All 3 Will Work,
Diode Works Best For Me This Same Reset Ic Goes Bad On Other Visio Lcd
& Plasma Tv'S. #1) You Remove Smd U26 On The Video Processing Board
And (Add) Put A 10k Resistor Across Pins 2&3. U26 Is Near The The
Tact Switch. #2) Remove U26 And Solder A 10k Tru 100k Resistor Across
Pin 2&3. Start With A 10 K First. #3) Remove Reset Ic Near Tac

SOURCE: Power is there, but TV won't turn on
stored voltages are high no touching these circuts becuase they hold charges and alot of screws.
fualty capacitors you say after a while it stays on theres a full charge in the unit theres some type of discharging effect on the set after its off for a while. voltage goes to low or unstable after it is off for a while. your better off getting the service docs for this set if you want to diy..other wise get a tv tech to check it for you. hope this helps
SOURCE: My tv won't turn on. The orange light is on - will
Look at the power supply, look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc.

Please post back what you find.
I have the same model for my bed room, my power supply blew up beyond repair, had to buy a used one, now the LCD controller board is going bad when it gets hot. Not a very good TV.
SOURCE: my vp322 visio will not power on
Power supply in your TV went from bad to dead. You can remove rear cover and try to locate bad capacitors (they will have bulged tops instead of flat ones). Replace them and see if it's going to resurrect TV. If not - whole Power Supply board have to be replaced.
Regards.
Russ.
this could be three differnt things
1. the crt itself could be bad
2.the vertical ic on the crt board
3. the focus pack or focus block

I opened it up and I notices some bulging Capacitors. Would that be the reason for the problems stated above?
I was wondering if you had a link to a trusted site where I could purchase the capacitors?
