This VIZIO L30WGU 30" LCD is about a year and a half old, I used it as a TV for a while then moved it to my PC when I bought a 42" Lcd for TV Vewing. wll, all of the sudden the TV went Black, came back a couple of times then went completely blank but I hear the sound from my pc playing music. I opened it to find the PS Module had a slight burn in the 120V input but not enough to loose contact or power, the on and off of the sound is suggesting that the PS is trying to operate but finds a dead short, or that a transistor in the PS is bad, eitherway I cant find anyone in Florida to fix it (afraid at an unknown brand) or find a service center for these Clowns at Vizio. so much for what $1000.00 can buy you these days This VIZIO L30WGU 30" LCD is about a year and a half old, I used it as a TV for a while then moved it to my PC when I bought a 42" Lcd for TV Vewing. wll, all of the sudden the TV went Black, came back a couple of times then went completely blank but I hear the sound from my pc playing music.

Same problem - screen went off and on for about a week - now it won't come on at all. Called Vizio - talked to a very nice tech support guy who said it sounded like a power transistor on the main motherboard. Working to see if I can get the part myself (I've done a lot of PC repair over the years.) Mine is about 2 1/2 years old and has been great up to this point.

I have a Vizio L30WGU The tv has sound but no picture. The technician that try to repair the tv said thaat was the inverter, I buy a new inverter (V144-301) in Moniserv, but the tv continue with this problem, I'm thinking to return the inverter to Moniserv. The technical support said maybe if the inverter was damage is possible that the Power Supply is damage too. How can i know is that the problem of my tv. The tv has 21/2 years of use. Please let me know the possibility of to repair the tv. I have a Vizio L30WGU The tv has sound but no picture.

Now I get a faint flash when I turn it on, then black.

My VisioL30WGU is about 2 1/2 years old and the picture is going black while the audio stays normal. If I turn it off an back on after about 5 minutes the picture is back for a few minutes but then goes black again. Looking for local repair shop or may do repair myself if I can find a schematic...

I Have a L30WGU30 and the Black screen problem. I just bought a new inverter, I go and hook up the inverter and the screen is still black, but like one of the previous articles I can see the outline of the menu {(when you hit the menu button on your remote while the black screen is up you can see the outline of the menu on the screen) So they said this means that its the inverter but I just installed my new one} So from here what is the better choice . Should I buy the MainBoard or the PowerBoard, or could it be a smaller chip. Ya I should get a new one but I really want to get this tv running again, and I really want to solve this.

I have the same problem. I have a 50" LCD Vizio. First the picture comes and go. Then, the picture went all together leaving just the sound. Finally, the sound went. Now I only have sound if the DVD player in on. I have the same problem. I have a 50" LCD Vizio. First the picture comes and go. Then, the picture went all together leaving just the sound.
