Vizio Vo47l Tv; White Light Always Stays On, Black Screen, No Sound

I have a VIZIO VO47L FHDTV30A that stopped working. When you connect it to the power outlet all you get is the vizio white light, it does NOT turn amber and the screen does NOT turn on and does not get any sound. All the buttons are unresponsive. I have done the flash light screen test and nothing, checked the fuses and capacitors and they look to be ok. Would it be best to replace the PSU, the main board or could it be something else such as the screen itslef?

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. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.
Before going further; try a hard reset first. If it does not help you, replace the main digital board. There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; visit the site linked here.

Vizio VO47L FHDTV10A black screen no light

If your LCD TV or monitor has stopped working, or is displaying one of the following symptoms, then it's a candidate for some new capacitors
- Flickering screen
- Screen image disappears after several seconds
- Dim screen
- Slow start
- Power LED on, but no picture
- Unusual colors and/or lines
The primary cause of LCD TV and monitor failure is caused by faulty capacitors. You can examine the capacitors in your LCD TV or monitor and actually see if they are bad.
If they appear bulged on top, then they need to be replaced.
New capacitors will solve a host of problems in LCD monitors and TV's and will extend the life of your monitor or TV by several years.

?Check the cables, connectors and connections.

Black screen with sound

My 47" LCD Smart T.V. was working fine last night. I got up this morning and I have sound but no picture. The VIZIO icon lights up as usual but I get no picture, only sound. From the time I turned it on, nothing appeared on the screen. I have already tried unplugging it for a while and still nothing.

Screen went black but sound still works.

What kind of input are you using? If you are using 3 cables (white, red, yellow, then possibly your white and red (sound) are still plugged in but the yellow (picture) cable has come lose on the back of the TV or on another machine it is feeding from such as a DVD player or other equipment.

My screen dims down to a black screen then lightens up again

Your LCD is dying. You need a new inverter.
I found one on google http://cgi.ebay.com/Vizio-VO47L-FHDTV20A-Inverter-Board-6632L-0487A-Slave-/130461530115

47" vizio has sound no

Have you selected the proper input for how you have it configured? If using an HD connection, select the HDMI 1 input. If you are using the coaxial cable connection, then select TV input. If you are using the three RCA inputs (yellow, red, white) then select AV input.

Vizio vo47L 47" LCD. No

0ne of 3 has failed:
(in order of probability):

1. Backlight inverter
2. Power Supply
3. Backlight

More specifically on #1 and #2 - capacitors either bulging, leaking, or exploded.

Please seek the expertise of an experienced TV repair technician - as they contain potentially lethal voltages that must be properly discharged before work can begin.

Thanks!@#$
