Vizio TV D50x-G9 won't power on

My Vizio TV D50x-G9 won't power on at all. At first the TV used to come on but it was a zapping sound for about 2 seconds coming from the back of the TV I think where the control buttons are and then I would try to turn on TV but it wouldn't come on but the power light would flash flash and go din,flash and go din repeatedly but the TV wasn't powering on. Now the TV won't power on at all with nothing coming on. Seems dead. Is the TV in my guest room and I never use it It's was a brand new TV. I'll just go in there every once in awhile and turn it on just to let it run for a few minutes. I'm guessing is it the power supply board? Or Maine board or something else?????. I was going to buy your power supply and main board combo But if it's something else please share. And is changing the power supply or main board complicated? Or can I unplug the wires and unscrew the faulty one that's on a TV and plug in and screw the new one in or is it more to it. I really don't want to buy a new TV because it's already a new TV and rarely used and it just became out of warranty

Bad TV PSU (power supply unit) and seems dangerous to me.
arc'ing? sounds. I'd not plug it in to AC wall power until fixed.
did water land on TV?

why not get a shop to fix it?
or buy \the shop manual
the manual you don't have may say
the main board needs to be reprogrammed to use this size 50" screen, and if not done by the book there is no hope.
learn to RTM first, no 2 TVs are the same.
some have 1 main logic board that works on 3 screen size models.
why not get shop to do that? and not pour cash down a pit. to zero gain, why?
what if the PSU was overloaded, even the LED background array can do that if bad. so replacing the boards 10x will not cure that. see???????
next time by LG or Samsung. far far far better long lasting TVs
and 10x better service, (consider that)

Vizio TV D40f-G9 must be unplugged and wait 30 seconds before plugging back in to start. Is the main/power board or T-con board the issue?

It's not going to be the tcon board, it's either the main or power board, pull the back off and test the PS_ON pin on the power board to see if your loosing the command for power supply enable (3.3VDC) if so replace the main, if it stays then the power supply. Chances are it's your EEPROM that's bad causing the issue your having

My Vizio 4K TV won’t stay turned off! No matter if I use the remote that cane with the tv, the directv remote, or the button on the tv. It will turn off for about 2 seconds and then turn right back on!...

You need to disconnect the power from this tv, then press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds to drain the charge off the circuit boards inside. Then plug it back in and start over. If this does not solve the problem you may need to have it checked out by a repairman. You should still be under warranty so report the problem and file a warranty claim.

My vizio tv won"t come

Hi,

That problem is 2 causes,its either power supply or system board.
This are some D.I.Y procedure for troubleshooting.

  1. Open the back cover by removing all screws at the back.
  2. Try to look at the power supply board and find the leak/bulge on top capacitors.If you found,replace it with the same type and ratings.
  3. If the power supply doesn't have any leak capacitors.Try to power it ON to perform voltage checking.
  4. Check the output voltage of power supply such as 5vdc,12vdc and 24vdc by using voltmeter.If this 3 supplies having a voltage drop or flickering voltage while on power ON.Check the following parts on the power supply,change value/open resistor,shorted transistor and diode or repeat step # 2.
  5. When the output voltage is stable and all parts looks OK.The problem could be on system board.Unfortunately the system board or main board is not for D.I.Y because the parts inside is very logic and very sensitive.That is replaceable.

Thank you and good luck.

Vizio vx42l hdtv back light

If backlight went out then sound should still work. Are there any indicator lights to show power is coming on anymore? Try unplugging for 30 seconds, hit power button a few times, then plug back in and try to turn on. This drains any capacitors of power to attempt to reset (basically clearing the TV's throat).

Can also try something on a different input. If current input is composite, S-video, or component, try using DVI or HDMI connection as this uses a different board in the TV. If that fixes it, then at least you can try to replace one board instead of entire tv. :)
