Vizio VF551XVT troubles

[spculater]

We Have a Vizio VF551XVT that suddenly quit working while my father, who can open an email and reply but will not send one, was staying at our house. I ran him through a few setup options but got no where.
Upon arriving home we found that the remote had no effect at all.
I could turn the tv on with the power button but the only picture was the blue screen.
I tried all of the HDMI ports and still nothing. (our cable box is connected through the HDMI port)
I had an digital converter box and hooked it up to the yellow, white, and red ports on the side of the tv (component 2). This gave us a picture and we could change channels but there was no sound.
I investigated possible solutions online and dismantled the tv.
I took voltage readings, with the tv on, at all of the identified terminals of the DPS-433BP-3 main board. All voltages were as listed.
I checked every capacitor on all of the boards an all appeared to be fine, no bulges or defects apparent.
The only thing that caught my attention was a blinking red LED labeled "D302" on board KLS-550WLTD(2) Rev:1.2.0 . I have not been able to find any information on this.
I would appreciate any input that helps me solve the problem.

Thanks,

Can you post a picture of the mainboard?

Has the picture of the board come through?
Is there anyone there?

Received this email from the OP:

After attempting to generate feedback on a problem with my LED tv I am forced to admit that this site seems to be a total waste of time and effort.
Thanks

Gotta love it!!

Well, some people don't seem to realise that others have a life outside of Badcaps (as strange as it may seem!) Ugh, entitled generation, or just arrogant?

wow,well sorry sir it fell through the cracks,a gentle bump would have been a better option...
Good luck on the repair,I'm out...
P.S,I asked for a pic of the mainboard,NOT the powersupply.
