Periodically a Vizio 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:

1) Turn off the TV by pressing and holding the Power button on the cabinet until the TV powers down.

2) Unplug the TV from the wall power outlet.

3) Press and hold the Power button on the cabinet for 30 seconds, and then release it.

4) Plug the TV back in and turn it back on using the Power button on the cabinet or your remote control.

SOURCE: green led light flashing on 700p proview flat panel and no picture

Usually when the power light flashes and the screen remains blank and unlit, your power board is in fact malfunctioning. This is not always the case, as the problem can sometimes reside in the input or inverter boards. I would first recommend that you feel comfortable with opening up your screen and looking at components. It can be a little overwhelming at first. BEFORE PROCEEDING, UNPLUG POWER TO MONITOR. If inclined to check, carefully open the casing around your screen. I have not worked on your particular model, but some are easier to open than others.

Once opened, you need to gain access to the circuit boards. Sometimes they are not protected by metal, other times they are completely encompassed. The flashing power light usually indicates that a capacitor(s) is(are) malfunctioning. To see if this is the issue, locate the power board (usually the one with larger-size components) and look for any capacitors having bubbled or raised tops and/or oozing a brownish liquid. If not on the power board, look elsewhere for the same symptom.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! If you have recently had your monitor plugged in, the larger capacitors can still carry a charge. If you cross the leads of a capacitor while it carries a charge, it will discharge. It won't hurt any other components, but if you cross the leads with something that is in direct contact with yourself, you can get quite a jolt! There is usually a large voltage capacitor (normally just one) on the power board of these screens. I tested one with a multimeter after immediately unplugging it, and it still held a 166V charge! So please, do this with caution.

If a bad capacitor has been found, simply remove the old one and solder a new one in its place!

SOURCE: 42" Vizio - no picture no sound

If the TV goes in standby, then it is in protection mode.

Ensure also that the fault is not coming from a faulty receiver box sending
bad signal, check if you get same problem on DVD with no receiver box
connected.

Try first leaving the TV power cord unplugged for some times, let say one hour or so.

The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the TV goes on protection there are only two possible causes.

1The internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the protection circuit.

2 The protection circuit detected a wrong voltage or abroken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in , starting the flashing light.

If you are in situation one, then the TV will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours,sometimes even minutes.

If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.

If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual

If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

On LCD Pay particular attention at inverter and power board, power board can be inspected looking for bulged or leaking capacitors, then tested with a multimeter. The inverter is more difficult to test , there is need to read voltages, should be done by a tech. Also the LCD controller board can cause same problem

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.

I dont know how you could have a back light seen through the cabinet on the back and not see the picture. The unit uses LED backlights and just one LED can cause the power supply to sense the current change and not power the display. Replacement LED strips are about 75 USD

On a Vizio E550i-B2 that has sound but no picture, what are other causes besides the power supply board?

Hello Brian, if you have changed the power supply board and still have no image, then some of the LEDs that are responsible for illuminating the screen are wrong, to solve the problem, you should replace all the LED strips, because if only change the ones that have one or two damaged Leds, the other strips, they could fail you soon and you would have the same problem again
I sent you a video of [ShopJimmy.com] that shows you how to replace the LED strips, in another Vizio TV model of 55 "
I hope you can solve the problem of your TV Vizio
Greetings Franco Dosil

Hola Brian, si has cambiado la placa de la fuente de alimentaci?n y todav?a no tienes imagen, entonces est?n mal algunos de los Leds que se encargan de iluminar la pantalla, para resolver el problema, deber?as reemplazar todas las tiras de Leds, porque si solo cambias las que tengan uno o dos Leds da?ados, las otras tiras, podr?an fallarte pronto y volver?as a tener el mismo problema
Te env?o un v?deo de [ShopJimmy.com] que te muestra como reemplazar las tiras de Leds, en otro modelo de TV Vizio de 55"
Espero puedas resolver el problema de tu TV Vizio

I Have a vizio E320I-AO 32" TV. The back light and sound have gone. What could be causing the LED and sound to go bad?

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://electro-medical.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.

Vizio e470i-ao won' turn on, power supply board replaced still no picture or sound, led power on indicator light comes on momentarily then goes out?

Power ON signal voltage should come from the main board to power regulator board. It does not come now. Check for the reason. Probably, the main board will have the fault. Contact any service technician. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Solutions (2) Best Solution That little fella is only turned off by unplugging it. If all those little lights in America could be turned off we could do with one less nuclear power plant. If unplugging it is not an option, my wife's solution is to cover it with a piece of black tape.

remove all screws on the back of the tv, carefully pull off back cover. you will see two circuit boards one on the left (Power) and one on the right (Video) on the Video board there is a small plug on the right side with a yellow, white and red wire going into a small white connector. the red wire is what controls the orange light on the front. now that the plug is pulled turn it over and you should see a small white plastic piece that holds each metal connector on the end of the wires in. pry this piece of plastic up for the red wire and pull at the same time, the wire will come out of the connector. now tape the metal connector with electrical tape and tuck it behind something or tape it to the chassis. plug your connector back in. put the rear cover back on. now your tv will only show the vizio logo in white when you have the power on. If you wish to disable the logo for both orange and white just disconnect the white plug completely.

Power Light comes on but no picture or sound.

for your VP50, it could just be simple as a power supply but it could also means more. Do you have the amber LED light when off and green when on? if so, try the main board first. If that doesn't resolve the problem, then change the sustainer boards.
