Vp50hdtv20a blank screen help!!!!

[visioman]

Have a visio vp50hdtv20a that was working great but now just has a blank screen
ive checked for the usual swollen caps, blown fuses, burn marks on buffer boards, ect. All of these usual symptoms dont apply to my set. I cant seem to find anything wrong and need some specifics. The set does power on but has no picture and havent checked for sound. I do have back off of tv and there is a a blinking led light on board lj41 0422a along with an led that stays on.

Pictures?

Anyway I'm pretty sure that this is just a Samsung TV in visio clothes.

This is probably the same as a Samsung ps50q97hd and the ps50q96hd.

If it is this model you have a big repair on your hands as the y-sus will have quite a few shorted parts and at least 2 buffer ics will need to be replaced.

You'll probably struggle to get replacement boards for a reasonable price.

I ended up finding the upper buffer ics with a burn spot on the second one. I did notice a puff of smoke coming from the y main where the upper buffer connects to it. I'll get pics in a min
