Vizio L32 32 in. LCD HDTV Logo

TV goes black, won't power off

Just today my Vizio 32-inch HDTV has started behaving strange. In the middle of viewing, the screen goes black, audio goes dead, and the TV doesn't respond to the remote or even to the buttons on the TV. The only way to turn it off is to turn off the power strip it's plugged into. Once it's turned back on, it behaves normally. It's happened twice so far, after watching for an average of a few hours. Any ideas on how to fix this?

If the power indicator remains on (or LED remains green) when the unit goes dead, you will need to replace the main board to resolve.

Flickering problem with Tv.

There are two places to look for the problems, the backlight inverter board and the power supply. Look at the power supply first since it is easier to get to, look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc. Look for 5vdc, 12vdc, and 24dvc.
