Question about Vizio 42 in. LCD TV

1 Answer

My 42" LCD took a lightning strike a couple weeks ago and now the color RED is completely gone - everything looks blue and green. I am guessing it has something to do with the control board. Is this fixable or is my TV shot?

Not a projection set if 32 inch---If looks like blotches try turning set with it on to see if they change--if so you may have not plugged the degaussing coil (usually a two pin plug) back in when you did the repair--it goes on the power board.

Color in tv is very green you cant tell what suppose to be what i was watching cartoons with kids and the animal that suppose to be red was black i tried adjusting color temp and every thing even resetting...
If your using a tuner for your TV channels and you are using component video cables make sure that the red cable is not plugged into the audio socket. red blue and green cables should all be plugged into the "component" input on the tv not audio.

Video is taking on a red tint which is getting worse over time
check the cable connections. look at different inputs. VGA and Component cables have the colors split, so if it's turning red, green, or blue; it's likely a cable or connector.

Tv lost color
Your problem most likely is on the signal board is my guess. If your not a technician it would be in your best interest to have him check L2C60 on the signal board.

Vizio VO42LFHDTV10A. VIZIO name lights up amber/orange on the front of the set. Pressing the power button on the set, does nothing. No click, Vizio does NOT change from amber/orange to white. Googling this suggested Power Supply. I replaced it and still have the same problem. Could you point me in the right direction on which part I should test/replace? I can't tell you if it popped or anything when it went out, because no one was in the room at the time. I'm thinking it's the main board. This model is noted for the bad caps problem. "This was fixed by replacing the Main Board."

Two non-hidef get 50+ channels on antenna scan. The Vizio gets about 15. I can't get two local channels we want. Vizio said that since their tv is hidef, it needs stronger signal than the older tvs. We use new rca outdoor antenna. Any comments would be appreciated. I already got approval from Vizio to return the set. Hate to do it since it is great when on cable. But as I mentioned, with no config. change at all between TV's, when Plugged into the antenna coax, the Vizio gets 15 or so channels, and our older non-hidef models get over 50.
