What type of tv is it . ?? It sounds like a pall settings fault or software fault on new tvs
I have a Vizio LCD GV47L that was struck by
Great question - I would check that out with Vizio because I have read accounts of parts incompatibility in cases such as the one you cited. And you do not want to get a board that does not work because usually there is no return on electric parts.
I have a Vizio tv that the logo light is flashing.
SYMPTOM: Blinking VIZIO logo, no power on. Usually after a utility "brown-out.
SOLUTION:
1) Unplug TV power cord. Wait 5 secs and replug.
2) Press and hold TV Power Button for 30 sec.
3) After approximately 1 minute, the VIZIO logo should stop flashing.
4) Press Power Button - TV should power on.
This procedure resets the OS program execution (power spike corrupted the sequence).

My vizio tv turns on but had no display
UNPOWERED INPUT DEVICE
Check to make sure the device you're trying to use with your TV is plugged in and turned on. While it may seem like a silly oversight, it is possible that you switched on your TV and didn't actually turn on your DVD player, gaming console or whatever device you're trying to enjoy. If you tried to use a remote to turn on the device, check that the batteries still have a charge and turn on the device using its built-in power button.
TIP
The problem may be your input device itself. Check your TV with other devices and see if it displays them properly. If it does, contact customer support for your device for more detailed troubleshooting instructions
WRONG INPUT CHANNEL
Make sure that your TV is on the right input channel for the device you're trying to use. When your TV isn't switched to the right channel, no visual or audio input from the device will display on your screen or through your speakers. Turn on the input device and press the Input button on your remote to cycle through your input channels until you see the device's display on your screen.
AV CONNECTION PROBLEMS
If you're on the right input channel and your device is turned on, there may be a problem with the physical connection between the device and your TV. Make sure that all cable connections are secure, and also that all cables are connected to the In ports on your TV and the Out ports on your input device. If you're using a connection that has color-coded plugs, make sure the connectors are inserted into their appropriate color-coded ports.
If you're using an HDMI connection, make sure that the cable you're using is compliant with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, especially if your TV and input device are both HDCP-enabled. HDCP is a copy protection system that prevents the copying of digital video and audio content as it travels over the connection. Systems connected with non-compliant cables won't display any video or audio conten
FROZEN TV
Periodically a 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.
TEP 1
Turn off the TV by pressing and holding the Power button on the cabinet until the TV powers down.
STEP 2
Unplug the TV from the wall power outlet.
STEP 3
Press and hold the Power button on the cabinet for 30 seconds, and then release it.
STEP 4
Plug the TV back in and turn it back on using the Power button on the cabinet or your remote control.
HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE FAULT
If everything is correctly set up, powered on and on the right channel and you still aren't getting any picture or sound, there may be a hardware or software fault in your TV. The best way to check is to press the menu button on your TV or remote and see if the on-screen menu appears. If the menu doesn't appear, contact repair

Where can I get the 4 fastners to mount my TV on the wall...the TV is a SV47OM 2009 model and no papers
Almost any big-box hardware/home center store has a fastener section. Simply check the specs on the size and length fastener you need (many are metric), and you can get them from these places. The hardest part is usually trying to determine the size of fastener needed. It is often buried in the specifications section of the owner guide. For some strange reason Fixya thinks that the word "SCREW" is vulgar and won't allow it, so I uses fastener instead.

Have black screen, audio ok and flashlight test shows video. There are two led inverter boards. does that mean the power supply board is bad?
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.

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.
Two vizio TV's with issues
Take them to a TV repair centre as they are complex to repair. You may find that your homeowner insurance will pay for the repairs if you can demonstrate that it was a power surge that damage them.
Blinking logo. No picture. What's wrong?
Sounds like firmware corrupted. An update is necessary. These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices.
