The main power supply regulator section circuit fault. Either it will be a separate board, or the part of main board. Check and replace damaged component/s at its main power regulator [SMPS] section circuit. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ It will be best to replace the power supply regulator board as card basis rather than making "Surgery" to it; which usually will make loss for both money and time. Even though you can make it right, it will cost around an amount equal to the cost of a new board; including the cost of (spare parts + service charge) More to say, most of the spare parts to it will be difficult to get from open electronic spare part market. This is true to most of the flat panel TV power supply boards; irrespective of its brand and screen size.

SOURCE: No screen display - VIzio 50" Flat screen TV

If you purchased the TV 6 months ago, still under manufacturers warranty. They normally give customers 1 year warranty coverage.
It looks like the main board will have to be replace on this TV or fix to the component level.

SOURCE: code for Vizio tv

Unfortunately, those remotes only take a 3 digit code. I bought 2 new remotes, which do take 4 digit codes, but the code(s) for the Vizio do not work (or partially). I found that the 4 digit codes for the Goldstar and LG work better than those provided for the Vizio, but still not as good as the original Vizio remote.

Main or power board TV failure?

Sounds like a mainboard/Digital board. Might be the panel too. Vizio makes substandard TVs and they tend to fail very easily. As much as I like to see devices repaired, this one may not be worth your hassle. Power problems caused by lightening can be the most damaging. You may even need both power and digital boards to repair it. I would buy boards from someone who will take them back in case the panel failed too.

I have a Vizio E601i-A3. The "Vizio" emblem does not light up and the screen does not light up. Is it most likely power board that needs to be replaced?

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. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ 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.
