Trouble shooting my vizio e461-a1. It won't turn on unless I do a power cycle on the set. (unplug and hold power button for 30 sec).

SOURCE: Turns on, cd light comes on but cpu does not boot

You should get it repaired. That is likely a power supply failure. Yes, I see you have power, but I still say power supply, because there are 2 types of power: There is Motherboard power and there is CPU power. If CPU power is not correctly flowing, the CPU will not activate. If the CPU is not active, the board will not process any information, even though the board is receiving power. Power supplies are not hard to replace and are usually about 40 bucks

SOURCE: my vizio vx37l will power up but it wont get any

My TV did the same thing. You need a new power supply. Fairly simple to do yourself. The card is about a hundred bucks with shipping. The part number is 0500-0507-0250. You just have to take the back of the TV off (about a hundred screws). Just unplug the old one and plug the new one in.

SOURCE: I have a 50" Vizio

It is the power supply that is going bad, you need to replace the power supply module and that will take care of your problem. You can also replace any electrolytic caps that are bad on the module itself, that would fix it too.
