How to fix a Vizio TV M801d-A3 which is out of warranty?

Started to have my picture go black. It was not a flicker but a lose of picture. It would go on and off then not do it for a couple minutes then do it again. I do not know if I lost audio because I used a sound bar. This problem increased in frequency. Now it will not power up. At one time if I unplugged hit the power button for 10 sec, then power up I would see the power light come on then fade out but no picture. Now that does not even happen. I get nothing. It sounds like a power and backlight issue?

SOURCE: Power light flashing/ no picture

I have the same problem. The only way to get the TV to come on is to unplug it, but once you get it back on it turns itself off again in a few minutes.

SOURCE: vizio 47" lcd no picture no sound has power

this could be one of two problem. first, check if you have back light. If you do then the problem is with the M/B. Second, if you don't have back light then the inverter is bad and needs to be replace.

SOURCE: No Screen or sound

there are two possibilities to this problem. First and cheapest way is to replace the main board. Second, replace the inverter board. This is the boards that are mounted vertically on both sides of the TV.

SOURCE: no picture or sound, light comes on in the front and have to unplug tv to turn it off.

I had this exact problem on my Vizio 47" HDTV. I removed the speakers and all the screws on the back cover. Took the cover off and located the fuses on the largest circuit board. The are in the upper right hand corner of the board. There are 3 of them in a row labeled LF 1.5, LF 3.0 and LF 3.0. The are white in color with copper ends. I took a volt meter and measured continuity across all fuses individually and found the LF 1.5 to be blown. The guy at the electronics store sold me a barrel 1.5A fuse and told me to soldier it across the top of the blown fuse. It took an extra set of hands but the TV works perfectly.

SOURCE: My Vizio VX32L LCD TV will power on but no picture or sound

I had the same problem after having a Vizio for 2 and a half years. I left the room for a minute, i came back and the screen went black. There was still power to the unit and you could see that the back light was working, just no picture, no sound, and you couldn't use any of the buttons. The only way to turn it off was to unplug it. It would then start up, with the Vizio logo going from orange to white, and then do the same thing all over, no pic or sound.

HOW I FIXED MINE: I ordered a new "main PCB" from tigerdirectparts.com (you can also use searspartsdirect.com). This is the circuit board with all of the inputs on it (hdmi, cable, etc.) I opened it up, disconnected the old one, put in a new one and now it works fine. I used both serial numbers on the board to search for it online. It cost me $144 to do it, but that's better than $450 for a new TV. My tv is the vx32l hdtv10a. I hope that helps.

For me the part number was either (depending on the vendor) : 0171 2272 2174 or it was 3632 0212 0150. Check your circuit and see if any of those numbers match up.

Trying to fix a Vizio m801d-a3 damaged in a storm. Picture and audio are fine at startup, but change to a screen flicker and clicking sound in 20-30mins. Will replacing the power supply board fix it?

Not necessarily - maybe but probably not.
Modern switch mode power supplies are clever things that can monitor the current a circuit consumes and can shut down for self protection if it exceeds limits - a valuable protection against fire.

Changing boards on a hope and see basis can cause much frustration and result in a higher spend than the repair shop. The repair shop has the necessary access to information, test equipment and expertise that such a fault requires. You should use your local repair shop if you can because repair shops that aren't used are inevitably lost...

VIZIO M801d-A3 No picture, no sound, passes flashlight test. Picture and sound went out a few times and then back on in days before total failure. What do you suggest for repair?

Main board controls the audio. Measure the different voltages produced by the power supply board to see if they all are present and within specs.

I have an 80 inch, edge lit LED Vizio 3D Smart TV. Model# M801D-A3R. Bought it used, and the middle to right section has a dark blob about 8 inches. Ideas on what could be the cause or how to fix it?

this maybe a problem inside the layers of the screen (maybe dead pixels most likely but the layers can be replaced by steady hands or a tv repair personal)

I have a Vizio 37" HDTV that recently started losing the picture. The sound has been on continually but the picture now flashes steadily but mostly remains black. It went out one day, came back afte

it sounds like a backlight issue. It could be as simple as a few bad caacitors. If you already replaced the set and you just want $$$ toss it on your local Craigslist as a parts/repair set. There's always TV shop owner and parts scavangers that will buy the set as is. Price wise, if the set is in good condition and come with remote, and pedestal, I would ask $60 as is but you may get more
