The menu looks great and just as a follow up there are two of those resistor style fuses in addition to the standard glass fuse on the xmain. The one that failed was the small resistor fuse located directly next to the glass fuse. I am watching Netflix on the t.v picture looks great and already have a buyer lined up.

Please tell me you are going to replace the fuse with an actual fuse, not a piece of wire.

Re: Vizio P50 HDTV20A

Hello, new to TV repairs and electronics in general. My Vizio 50 inch plasma TV from 2007 went completely dead save for the amber standby light. I was able to source a used power supply from a TV repair shop (a Sony power supply that was told is better than the LG that came with the TV). It still did not work until I bought and installed a main board. I now have 99 percent of the TV back. I have a vertical one inch line that runs on the left side of the TV. I was trying to decide if I damaged the PDP during the repair or if it is something else. The line appears to boot up white and then sparkles in areas changing into multiple colors. It does not affect the TV since it is localized within the vertical line. Thanks for allowing me to post to this thread, as I was unable to create a new thread.
