I had a similar problem a while ago! I checked up some threads around the web and it was when i found out a tip about replacing the inverter board pannels of the backlight!! guess what ? It worked for me... My Vizio HDTV is about 5 years old so far and it is up and running like a champ...!! I hope it works for you!

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.

The flickering is most likely due to a faulty fluorescent backlight. Once the bulb heats up the flickering usually goes away. Some bulbs are easier to replace than others so I would contact your local TV repair shop.

VT420M no sound or picture and turns off by itself

this sounds like a main board failure but a defective power supply can mimic some symptoms of a bad main board. I would recommend you get a diagnosis done on the set. If I was a betting man, I'd guess the main board

Vizio vt420m comes on then flickers and then doesn't show any picture, but the tv stays on

If you have not been using the TV for quite sometime, moisture would have developed some defects inside the TV when you switched on. Sometimes even insects and lizards might get in and cause short circuits. Anyhow this might require attention by a qualified service technician.

I have a Vizio VT420M. When I turn it on by remote, or power button, the Vizio light changes from amber to white, but I get no picture at all OR sound. Do these symptoms sound like a bad power supply,

Fault at its main digital board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.
