    Vizio VP50 HDTV10A No Video. No Sound

    I have a VP50 HDTV10A. No sound, No picture. Only the green led on the front comes on. I hear the relays click in the back.
    I took the back off. Plugged it in and turned it on. I get D3, D4, and D5 that come on. After about 1 second D5 goes out. After another 5 seconds a relay on the power board clicks, and all the LEDs go out. The green LED remains on on the front of the set.
    All of the fuses check out.
    There are a few Caps on the power board that are bulged. Thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    There is no way the TV will work with bulged caps. There may be other things wrong, but you definitely need to change the caps first.

    Since there is no picture, the standard recommendation here is to replace all the bulged and non bulged caps with good quality low ESR caps.

    Caps don't have to bulge in order to be bad. They can be out of uF spec (3300uF measures 500uF) or have high ESR (ohms). Caps also die from heat.

      I'm having a similar issue, VP50 HDTV10A - I turn the TV on, and within 5-60 seconds I hear a relay click and the TV turns off. Looking through the back with a flashlight, I can see some bulging caps (some even with some black buildup at the center of the X). If I unplug for 5 minutes or so, I can repeat the above process.

      I found a guy on eBay that sells all 10 capacitors as a "repair kit" with instructions for $29+s&h:

      http://cgi.ebay.com/VIZIO-TV-REPAIR-...b#ht_500wt_922

      I'll get some help to pull the TV off the stand tomorrow and just open it up and look at the numbers on them, since I can't seem to find a list online. Lots of blurry pictures, but those aren't much help :x

        Wow, 10 caps for $29? If you live in the USA, then follow PlainBill's instructions on how to order Panasonic FM or FR caps (use FC is the other two are sold out). Shipping from digikey is around $2.50 USD. I'm guessing 10 caps will be around $15 USD total.

        The ebay auction also don't state the brand or series. Panasonic FM are high quality low ESR caps.

          Dont forget to check the inverter board's caps as well.

            vizio E60-E3 backlights, sound, no video
            by ajshoe
            Have a free Vizio E60-E3 pickup - sound and backlights work. set turns on and stays on for a period then cycles off and back on. NO VIDEO. If I remove left side (from front of TV) of TCON cable - set has pic on right side (from front of TV) with white screen on left side. With right side TCON cable disconnected - no pic on either side.
            Does this mean remove right side (from front of TV) tabs ?

            Like a second opinion before possibly destroying set....

            A2442 - No sound over internal speakers and no video playback
            by soeren
            I am facing a strange issue, I don't have any sound over my internal MacBook speakers and also the video won't start. If I change to my head speaker or via HDMI (speaker on my external Display) the sound works over the head speaker or Display and also the video starts (ex. youtube).

            All happened after the battery ran out of power overall several days when I was on vacation.

            I tried to remove the battery and then reconnected the battery, and then the MacBook Pro 14 2021 won't accept any power from my power socket. Then I removed one speaker, connected again the battery...

            Audio video receiver KENWood KR-V990D,no sound
            by JRade
            When I select the FM receiver, I find a radio station, the sound is heard on REC OUT(L,R), REC TAPE1(L,R),REC TAPE2(L,R) on high-ohm headphones, the sound regulation does not work.
            The output reacts when I connect the record player to PRE OUT FRONT L, the sound is heard in the speaker but the sound regulation does not work. Then it does not matter what I chose on the front selector.
            I replaced the capacitor C303/0.047F, nothing changes.
            I'm asking for help, what should I do next?
            Thanks in advance!...

            Onkyo HT-R390 no sound output, video output ok
            by FrancescoV
            Good morning everyone,
            I'm trying to repair an onkyo ht-r390 that has no sound output, despite the volume being at maximum, the rest seems to work; the video output signal (coming from an hdmi input) is present, but the audio is absent. Similar situation if I send an audio signal from any input I have no output.

            The firmware reported is the following:
            M:1.00/11107BLP
            D:?.??/????????
            O:1.00/11107AL

            The DSP firmware given the question marks seems corrupt.

            On the BCHDM-0678 - 25140678 - QPWBCHDM0678A0 board the chip that usually seems...
