You said your problem was a chip in the power supply. Could you be a little more specific - chip name/item number? Where did you purchase?

Thank you

-   My 32 inch ViewSonic LCD works perfectly when you turn it on, but after 5-10 minutes a high pitched squeel starts and the screen goes dark (sound still works.) I want to repair but have no idea what needs replacing... -   evstock

That is a coincidence. My tv went out the same night. But mine wont even turn on at all. So far I have had no luck finding anyone to repair it. Let me know if you figure something out and I will do the same.

same thing happened tonight. was watching tv as usual, and then out of nowhere, tv lost picture, sound and all the rest, and then turned off a few seconds later. went onto viewsonic's website and found the self help thing, went through every single step, with no help. tv will not turn on. did it overheat or something?
whats the deal?

There's 2 main issues I've had with this LCD TV I have a 40" one is the power will go and you won't be able to turn it on although you can hear a click when you try to. For this you need to replace the power board or what they call the inverter board you can order it direct from the viewsonic site (store.viewsonic.com)
The other problem is that the video will go out I had this happen about a year after I replaced the inverter board for this you'll need to replace the Main board. I recomend that if you get the power issue first just replace the main board assembly because I believe it comes with the inverter board (it did with mine). For my 40" tv it was $658.13 plus 42.78 tax and 6.60 shipping total $707.51. Hopefully that helps you decide to buy a new one or repair it.

If you know what the issue is you can call View Sonic directly and order the parts. I was told by View Sonic support that they do not have authorized service dealers any where. So if you can get someone to at least diagnose the issue you can then order the parts yourself. I know not the best solution but might be cheaper than buying a new TV right.

I also have the same problem with my 27" ViewSonic flat screen TV.  I left it off for about two weeks and the picture came back for about an hour.  Then it returned to total darkness.  Like yours, the audio and remote are fine.  Can't find anyone to fix it.  Are screwed?

Viewsonic 32". My LCD tv is 16 months old and has the same problem. It also has a high pitch squeel when it goes dark as well. Does anyone know the cost of this repair?
