I have a Vizio VW42LFHDTV10A -- The first time I

I have a Vizio LCD (VW42LFHDTV10A) -- The first time I turn the set on in the morning (either by VIZIO remote or Comcast remote), I get sound, but a solid black screen (VIZIO insignia turns from gold to white). It's only when I repeatedly turn it off and back on again that I eventually get the HDMI "Retrieving Data" screen and then a picture. The rest of the day it's fine. Can anybody help?

Please check for bad electrolytic capacitors on both main board & power supply, if there is any "pup-up" one, replace it (them).

My 37" vizio I bought in Dec 2007 did this (green screen at start-up on all inputs). At first it went away by itself after you left the unit on for 15 minutes, but then 2 days later the whole thing DIED. Luckily Costco has a 90 day return policy on TVs.

Vizio tech support suggested this (before it died that is):
Please try to reset all setting and then to see if the problem is solved. 1. Press the Menu on your Remote Control;
2. choose Set up on the OSD;
3. then choose Reset All settings;
4. Press the Exit on your Remote Control to remove the OSD.

SOURCE: eed help connecting MacBook Pro to Vizio VP50HDTV

I would say this is a resolution issue. The LCD on your MAC is capable of a much higher resolution than your television. To mirror your MAC you must lower the resolution to something that is at or below the televisions native resolution. The native resolution of the VP50 is 1366x768 so you will be able to do the following resolutions: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1366x768.

Hi,
I work as a contract technician for Vizio, and I can tell you from experience that replacing motherboard is one of the only solutions to this problem. The other solution if under warranty is to replace it. If you experience red, blue, or green pixels where dark shades (like nose, eyes, clothes, etc), call Vizio and accept nothing less than a full replacement! I have had situations where I replaced motherboard and within 2-3 hours the pixels return. Hope this helps.

VIZIO tv model VW42LFHDTV10A serial LJPBYBJ1405269 sound good but no picture.

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.

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.

Can you fix this cracked screen problem on Vizio VW42LFHDTV10A? and no sound?

We used to say have a short service on the patio and buy a new set---damaged panel display unit is more than set cost (if it is even available)
Let it go---when damaged it can instantly damage other boards/parts in the set.

Run a car with no oil and see what happens........

Vizio model VW42LFHDTV10A 42'' LCD has no picture but has power and sound all buttons and remote work. Faded picture appears for about a second and goes blank. Everything else seems normal. I'm wondering...

This problems are those 2 long LCD inverter boards to it left and to it right.These 2 long LCD inverter boards help the LCD picture screen panel to have a backlight to produced a picture.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy those refurbishes 2 long LCD inverter boards for the replacement.

Where can i find a replacement screen for a vizio ...vw42lfhdtv10a

get a look at the connections leading from panel to the inverter they are like laptops and sometimes other brands will fit but never guaranteed find a dead 42" and work from there i hope you luck but never spend 1\3-1\2 what a new set will run ya i have had success in the past doing this as i worked for a leasing company often stuck with these dead sets and they rendered them useless so i gave them CPR and made a profit from it good luck and never touch the internals of a powered up set even unpowered could be fatal so test before you touch and i hope this helps
