I have a VIZIO VW32LHDTV20A tv I have audio comes on and stays on like it should but no video the back lights are on.

I have checked and tried about everything checked power supply voltage 12 volt side has 11.80 volt 24 volt side has 23.50 volt 5 volt standby is at 5.16 volts like I said it does come on and light up.So I replaced the main board still dont work checked voltages between the two boards and they are the same. So thinking I may have a bad board I exchanged it for a third board same voltages as the other two does not work.So I ordered a T-con board put that in still no video.I was told that the cable from the main board to the T-con should have 12 volts on the first three or four pins I have 5.10 volts.I dont no if that is true or not because all three main boards have the same voltage.After trying all that still no video I am starting to think bad panel unless all three of them boards are bad but not likely. I am stuck.

    Found this on a bigger version of your TV. Dont get docs from euro sites. Too risky.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS-bGJQq...

    If you trace the 5/12V lead back to its source, what is the device? devices? If there is supposed to be a driver and the driver goes +-, it may have a bad transistor dragging it down.

LCD simple panel check. In a dark room, (does not have to be total), shine a flashlight at it with a station tuned in. If you see images
and you have changed the panel HV board, your flourescent tubes could be bad. If you dont, then check the cabling.

Testimonial: "The back lights are on just video on the panel tv turns on and off as it should just not picture."

    There is no video on the panel lights are on.

  • Charlie F Jan 04, 2015

    wiring or controller then

  • jimmbo65 Jan 04, 2015

    I did try another T-con board and checked the wires with and ohm meter the seemed ok

  • Charlie F Jan 05, 2015

    If you are sure the tcon board is good, then the panel itself is bad.

  • jimmbo65 Jan 10, 2015

    The panel has two ribbons from the tcon board I was told even if the panel is bad I should get something on one side at least I disconnected one ribbon at a time and I still get nothing on either side.But was also told that I should have 12volts on the first 3 or 4 pins where the display cable hooks to the main board and I only have just over 5 volts.And I tried 3 boards and had the same voltage on all three so I dont no if that is true if it is then that is where the problem is.

  • Charlie F Jan 10, 2015

    Nothing like the mfg's docs to tell how its supposed to work. You said ribbon cables. Which brings to mind a short I once had in one. Have you checked the cables for shorts to adjacent conductors (in the cable and adjacent on the connector) and opens?

    Add a CommentTest them off the tv and wiggling as you do. FYI there could be a control voltage telling the panel to shutoff not just 12V power.

    I have been looking for a free service guide for this tv seen many but I got to pay I have gotten free ones before but cant find one for this tv. Been trying to find the main board voltages I have seen 12 volts at ldvs cable which I dont have and I have seen 5 volt which I do have I want to no for sure.

  • jimmbo65 Jan 12, 2015

    Thanks for the video that is the video I am getting my voltages from cause the tv is about the same.And where he has 12 volts at the ldvs cable I have 5 volts all other voltages across the board are the same as his accept at the ldvs cable and when I disconnct it still remain the same 5 volt. I follow that 5 volts into the tcon board and out to the two ribbons. I cleaned all connectors and ribbons still nothing.I got two boards from shop jimmy and they have the same voltage as mine from the tv.I checked all the regulators and the voltage on all three boards are the same. So either I am getting bad boards or something else is wrong cause I dont have 12 volt lke the video.

  • jimmbo65 Jan 13, 2015

    It just dont seem right that all three boards then would have the same problem cause I checked voltages on all three and they are all the same.I will have to go back again and see where the 12volts disappears I no I have 12volts coming into the board I just cant seem to find out where it goes and why.

My Vizio TV model no: 67781 has audio and back light but a blank screen

Try flipping the cable. Eg tv end to cable (or whatever box) cable end to tv.

If you have another cable (guessing hdmi?) try that too.

Looks like cable damage to me.

My Vizio TV, model no. E390VL picture only disappears, black screen from time to time, but it comes back. No telling how long it takes for it to come back, or how long it will stay.

Back - light problem. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis.
To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board

No Picture -- just a black screen on my vizio vx37L

Did you hear any pops before the screen went black?
You've tried completely discharging it? Disconnect everything off the TV, all cables and power.
Press and hold the power button on the TV for at least 20 seconds.
Let it sit, and in about an hour, plug just the power in (directly to the wall) and see if it comes on. There should be an indicator light, is it white or orange now? Was it a different color before?
Odds are it's a board, be it the main or a video, don't know for sure. If you can take the back of the TV off and see if there are any evident signs of damage, blown or swollen capacitors, burnt traces or resistors/diodes, etc.
