UNPOWERED INPUT DEVICE

Check to make sure the device you're trying to use with your TV is plugged in and turned on. While it may seem like a silly oversight, it is possible that you switched on your TV and didn't actually turn on your DVD player, gaming console or whatever device you're trying to enjoy. If you tried to use a remote to turn on the device, check that the batteries still have a charge and turn on the device using its built-in power button.
TIP The problem may be your input device itself. Check your TV with other devices and see if it displays them properly. If it does, contact customer support for your device for more detailed troubleshooting instructions

WRONG INPUT CHANNEL

Make sure that your TV is on the right input channel for the device you're trying to use. When your TV isn't switched to the right channel, no visual or audio input from the device will display on your screen or through your speakers. Turn on the input device and press the Input button on your remote to cycle through your input channels until you see the device's display on your screen.

AV CONNECTION PROBLEMS

If you're on the right input channel and your device is turned on, there may be a problem with the physical connection between the device and your TV. Make sure that all cable connections are secure, and also that all cables are connected to the In ports on your TV and the Out ports on your input device. If you're using a connection that has color-coded plugs, make sure the connectors are inserted into their appropriate color-coded ports.
If you're using an HDMI connection, make sure that the cable you're using is compliant with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, especially if your TV and input device are both HDCP-enabled. HDCP is a copy protection system that prevents the copying of digital video and audio content as it travels over the connection. Systems connected with non-compliant cables won't display any video or audio conten

FROZEN TV

Periodically a TV may freeze up, showing that it's still turned on but not actually displaying any information from your input device or the TV's menu system. To fix a freeze, power cycling is the best solution. TEP 1 Turn off the TV by pressing and holding the Power button on the cabinet until the TV powers down.
STEP 2 Unplug the TV from the wall power outlet.
STEP 3 Press and hold the Power button on the cabinet for 30 seconds, and then release it.
STEP 4 Plug the TV back in and turn it back on using the Power button on the cabinet or your remote control.

HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE FAULT

If everything is correctly set up, powered on and on the right channel and you still aren't getting any picture or sound, there may be a hardware or software fault in your TV. The best way to check is to press the menu button on your TV or remote and see if the on-screen menu appears. If the menu doesn't appear, contact repair

    I have repaired several Flat screen TVs. The power supply may have quite and you have no display.
    Open it up and check the power supply. The shortest lived part is the 6.3V capacitors. If they are bulging, they are bad. If you are handy with a soldering iron, replace them with like units. Make sure you get the polarity right.

Vizio tv sv420m need help

Sure that the other boards you used were any good? If so, then try the Power supply board since the other boards of your set other than the main board specialize in the video aspects. Since you have no audio the only two boards that could account for no audio are the main board and the PS board which powers everything in the set.

I have a Vizio E472VL television. When I go to turn it on the logo appears on the screen and the "vizio" icon back light turns on, but nothing else happens. I have tried coax, component, HDMI, etc..

Had the same thing happen to my Vizio TV. It was on warranty, and they replaced the motherboard. It's been fine since then. There appear to be only a very few parts inside. Power supply, motherboard, and display. That's it. Your power supply is good, as is your display. You just need a motherboard.

No imaging, have sound, backlight, etc.

It may be an input cable problem. Check hdmi and or coax cables to make sure they are not damaged . If you have another tv hook cables up to it to make sure they are working. Hope this helps.

One of the speakers to Vizio VW46LFHDTV20A stopped

Vizio was earlier know for making budget TVs with high picture quality. Seeing that your TV may be one of their lower-end models (I'm not too sure), it could be a hardware issue. Go to Vizio support for further help.

I have a Vizio 50 Plasma TV. Sound works but display is "noise".

It'll be the X or Y boards or maybe the power board, without checking the VA and VS voltages I can't tell.

Vizio television

HI...

If it has sound, it's not the fuses.
Also, make sure that you're running the video into the right connector and that the set has THAT input selected
Most likely the backlight power supply that's failed.
Check with your local TV repair person and see if he can get you a new power supply
