Olevia 232-s12 not powering on

When I press the button on the tv the blue light goes out but then the picture does not come on. It's been working fine, no problems. Turned it off last night and then just tried to turn it on this evening and nothing - no picture no sound.

SOURCE: Vizio VX32L No Display and Can't Power Off

Old messages and bcipollina is gonna get to read this resonse twice; sorry-
If it just fails to turn on or ignores the remote, the main power supply is probably at fault and without some technical background and a couple of test instruments, you will not be able to do the repair yourself. 
What you can do though is; unplug the set, let it stand overnight or at least several hours, remove the back panel and look for a separate board with mostly larger components on it; it will have a ferrite core transformer on it and several larger capacitors which are cylindrical and mounted vertically to the board.

 
Before touching anything inside, especially on that board, allow several hours to be safe since the larger capacitors can hold a painful voltage charge for some hours.  
 
If you see signs of overheating such as discoloration of the board material, it may not be repairable but if you can find a part number on the board, you might be able to buy the power supply and install it yourself.
If there are no signs of heat damage to the board, there may be companies offering to repair it as a subassembly instead of repairing the whole set which could be much more expensive.
If you choose to replace or have it done, the power supply still may not be at fault since most are capable of switching on and off if a downstream problem is causing an overload.

BTW, from what I have read about Vizio, I think they are close relatives to iLo which was also sold by Wal-Mart.
Quality control anyone?

SOURCE: Olevia 242T 42" LCD HDTV - Suddenly No Picture, Nothing Works

 I heard they were restructuring their company or something.
There has been a change ownership from Syntax-Brillian to Olevia International Group.
Details of Olevia brand  
Unfortunately for all of us (we have 747i) service seems very poor and the failure mode you describe doesn't give me any clues despite 40+ years of service experience.
Ours is still 100% but I now suspect our trouble will come.

Finally recieved an email from syntax olevia customer support after 1 month. a standard desktop computer power cord is all you need for your Olevia LT26HVE flat screen. We lost ours in a move and FINALLY have it up and running again...for only 9 bucks at RadioShack!

I have a olevia model 232-s12 tv has sound but no pics I checked power supply all checked ok I turn tv on sometimes picture would work image may be very cracky so I assumed it was a tcon board replaced...

Good day.

If you already replaced a new inverter board and T-con board and the problem is still there.Try to play the video on the DVD,if the video is OK check the cable connection and try to run auto scan.
If the problem is still there check the input supply of the system board or main board it should have 5vdc and 12vdc,if it is OK replace the system board.

Review this manual page 4-1 abnormal display http://www.scribd.com/doc/36875894/Olevia-232-S12-SM

I hope this solution will be helpful.Thank you for using FixYa.

My pwoer supply blew up as well part number HGP 180-p240JIFE

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Relative to Olevia TV Power Supply Problems Solution provided by: kb8tez Matt, the problem he had was Electrolytic Capacitor CS21. Upon careful examination of the Power Supply Circuit Board I find that CS21 is in parallel with CS22. Simply replacing BOTH Capacitors makes for a more permanent fix. Radio Shack P/N 272-1032 1000UF 35V Capacitors @ $1.59 each plus tax makes a very inexpensive repair. Apparently the same power supply circuit board is common to many different Olevia Models.

TV tuner

Bill, did your tuner go out? I have had the same television for one year. We had a storm and our Buckeye cable went out. All the other tvs came back fine except for the room with the Olevia 232-S12. Everything works now except for the tuner. Cable came in and installed a converter box. Just wondered if you had the same problem (not the storm, but the tuner)
