Vizio vp322 stopped working again after caps replaced
Hey all,
I bought my vizio vp322 plasma screen tv in 2008. Some time in 2010 or 2011 it started clicking on and off repeatedly when i tried to turn it on. I found out it was bad capacitors, and a buddy who is better than me with soldering replaced all suspected caps using a kit i found on amazon.com. After we replaced them, the tv worked like new.
About 3 weeks ago, I remember we had put our air conditioner in the window, and since it was nice and cool in my room i wanted to play some video games. i tried turning on the TV and the vizio logo at the bottom of the TV turned white like it should, but i hear 2 clicks, and no picture ever shows up.(when it worked correctly the logo would turn white and i would hear one click, then the TV turns on and shows a picture.) After being turned on it will take about a minute before i can shut it off.
I am by no means an expert on troubleshooting electronics, but my buddy who is majoring in EE said it could be a relay.
So my questions are:
1. Has anyone else run into this issue with a vizio VP322?
2. Can anyone provide any input on whether or not it is a relay on the power board?
3. If it is, can someone help me with identifying the relay and where i could potentially buy one?
Thanks in advance for any help!
