These are not easy to solve. The issue is most likely due to something getting too hot. The problem is telling what is getting too hot. You have to take the unit apart and power it on Then you can wait for it to shut off and you unplug it and feel for heat or use a laser IR thermometer to see what the part is You can also use a freeze spray on the part to see if it works after you cool it off Then you either replace that part as a component or you replace the whole board.
SOURCE: only vizio light on
why should i tell you (fixYa) how i fixed the problem for free? You wanted to charge me for your info so i think it's only fair that i charge you for mines. I did figure out and solved the problem.
SOURCE: only vizio light come on then nothing. have to unplug to turn off
there a problem on power side.. chage the ic and the resistor going to ic and check also the signal diode.
SOURCE: vizio 47" lcd no picture no sound has power
this could be one of two problem. first, check if you have back light. If you do then the problem is with the M/B. Second, if you don't have back light then the inverter is bad and needs to be replace.
SOURCE: Vizio won't turn off
This could be a mainboard problem. Sometimes one of the fuses may be bad and may freeze up causing the TV to not be able to power off.
SOURCE: no picture or sound, light comes on in the front and have to unplug tv to turn it off.
I had this exact problem on my Vizio 47" HDTV. I removed the speakers and all the screws on the back cover. Took the cover off and located the fuses on the largest circuit board. The are in the upper right hand corner of the board. There are 3 of them in a row labeled LF 1.5, LF 3.0 and LF 3.0. The are white in color with copper ends. I took a volt meter and measured continuity across all fuses individually and found the LF 1.5 to be blown. The guy at the electronics store sold me a barrel 1.5A fuse and told me to soldier it across the top of the blown fuse. It took an extra set of hands but the TV works perfectly.
