Can someone tell me where the backlight is on my 32

It sounds like the internal calendar function is working perfectly.

Faulty screen.replace the screen and its T-CON

Most likely main board, common failures in Vizio sets. With the prices dropping on 32" sets, I would invest the money in a new set! You can either recycle your old set or toss it on Craigslist as a parts unit, someone will buy it. If this helps please sign my guest book.

The black screen problem of your TV can be attributed to a backlight driver failure, busted backlight, or LCD driver failure.

The flickering indicates a failing backlight driver or a failing backlight. The screen should be totally black, without any glow, when either of them is not working. To verify, grab a torch and shine it on the screen. You will be able to see a faint display telling you that the backlight is busted or the backlight driver is faulty. If not, the LCD driver or the LCD panel itself is faulty, although it has a low probability due to the symptoms of the problem. The only way to fix the problem is replacement of the faulty part. You may need the service of a qualified technician to determine exactly which one is the root of the problem that needs replacement.

It's either the backlight lamp or backlight inverter is busted due to a power failure or fluctuation. Here's how to determine which is which:

1. Grab a flashlight.
   
2. Turn on the TV.
3. Shine the flashlight onto the screen.
4. If you cannot see any display even a faint one, the backlight inverter is dead, else the backlight lamps are busted.
5. Replace which ever is the culprit.

Sounds like one of three things:

1) Mainboard/Tuner problems - although I'm really only saying this because you guys seem to think its associated with your over the air channels.

2) Power board problems. You power board/inverter may be damaged in some way - blown capacitor or other malfunctions. This is very possible as this could result in the backlight turning off and the screen going black but keeping the keeping the sound. If this is the problem, it will at some time start to happen constantly. Have a pro open it up and look at the power board.

3) The backlight is defective/dying. The backlight is a set of lights that reflects through the LCD panel. If the screen looks black, but you might see a faint picture or you still hear sound, then the backlight is not on. The panel itself could be defective. You can fix it by replacing the whole LCD panel (expensive), replacing the backlight panel itself (need a busted LCD of the same size with a working backlight), or fix the backlight, which is tough and risky.

Most likely its either the power board or backlight. Either way, you need someone to open up the TV and take a look inside. Good luck! Hope it works out.

Depending on your electronics skill, they can be replaced with new replacement boards. Usually the inverter boards that drive the backlights tend to blow. Soo its not really an expertise repair unless you know what your doing. The lcd tv's ive fixed the backlights are all on a 2 pin connector.
