I have a Vizio GV47L that made a pop sound and now has no picture or sound. If I unplug it, then plug it back in, the lights light up on the bottom and when I press the power button, the buttons iluminate, but do not function. From what I've read, it seems like either the power board or main board, but I'm not sure how to determine which might be faulty. Does anyone know a simple way to determine which might be bad. I'm prepared to just replace the whole part, but want to try to avoid ordering the wrong one. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Most likely the pop sound was a capacitor exploding on the power supply board. There is the risk that the power supply damaged the main board when it failed. The best solution would be just to replace the failed cap and see if the TV will start normally.
