Hello,
I have a Vizio XVT553SV, I got this from my daughter and son-in-law. I'll cut to the chase:
1) TV turns on, great picture and sound
2) Then 90-120 minutes on, screen flickers, horizontal lines appear (see pics), some popping and cracking heard
3) Turned off, waited 30-45 seconds, tried to turn back on, splash V appears, no picture but do have sound
4) Left TV on, after about 45-60 minutes, picture appears and looks great
5) After 10-15 minutes, picture goes black, but sound is still working
I am very willing to follow DETAILED instructions on how to trouble-shoot the boards.
I would appreciate it if when we start to check voltages, ohms, etc, that you please be gentle cause I'm new to the “checking” of voltages and the like. I have built my own computer (with help), put that's mostly plug and pray.
Last bit of info, I'll need to buy a digital meter. Finally, taking wife to Las Vegas for her birthday, so I'll be gone March 24-26th. I'm apologizing in advance if I don't reply in a timely manner.
Thank-you for your time and patience.
