Vizio E420VSE 42" 1080p 60Hz LED LCD 2.4" ultra-slim HDTV Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jan 17, 2013

Vizio e420vse It has worked fine for just short of a month with great picture and sound. Now I moved back to school, plugged it in, and it has worked well for almost a week. This morning when I powered on my tv I received audio but no video picture. Powered on and off multiple times, same thing. Now I just have a short blink of the white indicator light, no display, no sound. It appears to not power on at all. Any advice?

Its the led driver board in upper left corner. Replacement board hard to find

  • Anonymous Jan 18, 2013

    Yeah, it's being replaced by Vizio. Provided my proof of purchase from Costco and it's under warranty obviously. Sending a certified set out in 5 to 7 days. Free, thankfully. But no australian open or movies until then.

If your TV is under warranty you have to contact the store where you brought it..

  • Anonymous Jan 18, 2013

    I called Vizio and they are sending me a certified tv set, same model. Free of charge, but it's a week of no movies for me. Really irritating but it could be worse, like out of warranty.

SOURCE: no sound and no picture

It may well be the power supply. Filter capacitors have a nasty tendency of blowing, as well as voltage control ICs. If the filter blows, you end up with a shaky DC signal that can't be effectively used by digital components (which make up about 80% of modern TV circuits). If you're within warranty/exchange then go for the manufacturer. If not, and you're comfortable with opening these things, then you can carefully (after unplugging and allowing it to discharge) take a glance inside. If any capacitor(s) are visibly blown out, then there's your problem.

SOURCE: Vizio GV42L LCD TV screen black when turn TV on first time

If you are using a set top box this might be caused by turnig the box on at the same tie as you turn the tv on or slightly after you turn the tv on.  If you are using compnent or HDMI inputs the set needs to see the signal as it is turned on to know what formt the signal is in.

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 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.

Vizio tv model e420vse turns on and then screen goes black. Still has power and sound. If I turn off and back on, the picture will come back for a few seconds and then shut off again. Vizio suggested it...

There are a lot of references on how to repair the LED backlight. If you can source the parts, google search LED backlight repair.

LCD TV Has Sound, Backlights Work, but No Picture

I have been having the same problem with my LG. people say there are bad capacitors on the power supply board. I don't have the know how to replace them and don't have the money to pay. I can get mine to work by blowing hot air with a hair dryer into the back of my tv through the vents over the board. Heat it up for a couple minutes and turn it off and then back on and the picture comes back. I just never turn the set off now.

My Vizio LCD TV screen fades to dark. Sound stays on.

I w having this same issue when watching a Blu-Ray disc. I found it to be dependent upon what picture mode the TV was set to. By this I mean certain picture modes would cause the TV to dim during dark scenes of a movie. Changing the picture mode helped a lot.

No picture on vizio lcd

It's likely not a backlight, but a mainboard. If you are feeling frisky, take the back off and get the model number off the mainboard and check eBay.

Television will not turn on

My 47" Vizio wouldnt turn on this morning.....had a similair problem 3 yrs ago.....this is what i did and fixed the problem myself.....apparently you have to reset TV. Here is what has worked for me. So unplug tv power cord from the tv. Hold the power button and imput button together ( located on side panel ) for approx 45 sec......plug cord back into tv. Press power button on tv and voila !!!!! Tv came back on!!! I have had my Vizio almost 5 yrs. But have to call the unhelpful customer service atleast once a year.... I hope this works for you :)
