First try plugging the tv into another wall outlet, see if the one its in now is off. Make sure the ac cord is well fitted into the tv and the wall outlet. If still no power (and no warranty left on the tv) remove the back cover and check the fuse if blown replace it. If the fuse is good then the power supply board needs to be tested. If you know someone who's technically savy let me know I'll walk them through some testing steps to find the problem. Get back too me..

This is the best I can do over the internet.......

please rate this answer when you can....

SOURCE: 32 inch Vizio lcd flashes and then powers off

Unfortunately, what you're describing is a repair issue. You won't be able to address the problem with troubleshooting. There is a part inside the TV that needs to be replaced. If you're under warranty, this will cost you nothing. If you're not under warranty the cost will likely be a minimum of $200 parts and labor. However, be warned that the cost could be considerably higher. You should call the manufacturer for your full range of options.

SOURCE: 32'' Vizio LCD no picture or sound

Your filter capacitors have popped due to diodes shorting, P-channel FETs shorting from gate-to-drain. Pull-up resistors have changed value and as a result your capacitors have peaked (popped)....so now the tv is in protection mode to prevent further damage to your tv. Take it to your local shop for servicing, or take it back if its under warranty......

SOURCE: Hey there, I have a 6 month old vizio 32" LCD 60hz

Most probably the mainboard of the TV has a problem. But no worries as it is only 6 months old call up Vizio and they'll replace it for you free of charge :)

My vizio 32" tv won't turn on, only the red led light does. My warranty expired one week before the tv stopped working. can you please help me

I would try real hard to get it repair under warranty, they may bend the rule sinc it is only one week over warranty. Right now the 5vdc standby power supply is working. Typical repair for LCD TV is $200 and up plus parts. If they refuse, I would not buy another VIZIO.

It will not turn on the standby light isnt even on

The Vizio VP322 is notorious for having bad capacitors on the power supply circuit board. They will probably be bulging and may have electrolyte leaking. I replaced four bad capacitors (with a different brand just in case) and fixed it. Total cost under $10. A lot cheaper and better than replacing the whole circuit board which may contain the same "faulty" capacitors from the factory.

My flat screen tv wont turn on...what does that mean?

If you still get any indicator lights at all, then the 5v standby circuit is still working but the main power supply may be bad or it is not getting the turn on signal from the main board becuase the main board is faulty.

Acoustic Solutions TV Fault

I think you are looking at a power board problem. I had the same thing happen to a Vizio and I replaced the power board and it solved the problem. It could also be the input board but most likely the power board.

Thanks,

Vizio installer menu for VU32L

Other than unplugging the television, there is no way of turning the standby light off. There is an administrative menu, however it is mainly used to get version ifo for the firware etc.

On the L32 Series on the keypad, hold the Channel + and Channel -, as you are holding them down, press the power on button on the keypad. You will know if you were successful if there is a "F" on the bottom right hand portion of the onscreen display.

Proceed at your own risk, I can't remember exactly what you can do in that menu on that particular version.

Good Luck!
