Vizio sv421xvt issues

Two weeks of progressing signs. First HDMI ports stopped working. Then TV powered off a couple times. Finally, it won't power on. Light is amber and won't turn on with remote or button on TV. Am I likely dealing with a main board issue or power supply? Anyone fix this and have this blow again? Hesitant to sink too much money into something that is going to be a problem again. Thanks for reading.

It sounds like a main board issue but could be a power supply issue. I will tell you from my experience with Vizio TV's, main boards are more likely to fail than power supplies. But to be sure, you will want to either get a diagnoses or if you're handy do a little troubleshooting. The power supply and the main board are not cheap so you will certainly want to be sure before spending any money.

Its easier to open up your tv, look at the mainboard id number. Then do a search on google or ebay for the parts. Its alot easier then trying to troubleshoot the actual circuit board, unless your an electronic engineer.

Logic Control D Board got nothing to do with this problem. This is your main power supply gone bad(usually not the sub power supply). I just repaired my VIZIO by replacing main power supply. Just remove back cover and your board will be right in the middle of the screen. Just get board part/serial # and google it. My best price was through eBay(around $100). Everything is fine now.

Take them to a TV repair centre as they are complex to repair. You may find that your homeowner insurance will pay for the repairs if you can demonstrate that it was a power surge that damage them.

Screen freezes, and buttons don't work!

It sounds that the main digital board to your TV has the fault. To check and locate the fault to this board is a very skilled work. Contact any service technician.

42" Vizio 240Hz SV421XVT no hdmi video or audio

Possible bad source, bad cable or connection was made with units powered up which HDMI does not like.

First thing to try in this case is to remove power from set and whatever unit is connected via HDMI and disconnect the cable itself.

Wait for several minutes, connect HDMI again and THEN return power to the units that were removed from power, this cannot hurt and may help or correct this issue.

Failing this try if possible to connect using component connections.

Problem with Vizio SV421XVT

I am also having the same symptoms for my SV421XVT. TV works great except all HDMI ports are not receiving signal. Devices work through the AV Ports, and TV reception is fine. New Roku box is also not working through HDMI but works with AV. Wish I had a solution to this.


On a another forum for another TV it was suggested that boards need to be replaced. I hope I can get these boards for a reasonable cost.

HDMI ports stopped working. Only get a blue screen. Can only watch TV through AV.

If you have a cable box, then you have to pick the right source. So on your TV remote you need to pick the source button and then scroll down to HDMI 2 as the source. HDMI 1 is the blueray device. HDMI 2 to watch TV

Vizio L32 32 in. HDTV LCD HDMI input not working

I recently had the same problem with my vizeo hdmi port # 1 going bad. Tried everything to fix and called vizeo. There solution for a master reset was turn off tv and unplug from the wall. then hold down the power button for 30 secs and let go. plug the tv back in and hold down the volume down and input select buttons down on side of the tv for 15 secs. release the buttons and turn the tv on after powering down all the components connectd to the tv. If this does not work they told me you need to have it sericed for a bad hdmi input. Hope this info helps anyone out there. It didn't work for me. Its a bummer cause the tv is well taken care of and only 18 months old. Best of luck to all others.
