VIZIO mod. vx42l hdtv10a-flashing screen

[Jrolfe]

I came across a Vizio 42 inch tv that had been discarded. It is in very good condition physically but when powered up the screen will flash rapidly without coming to a solid screen. Is this a problem that is common or easily repaired?
Thanks

Maybe, maybe not.
In either case, you need to open the TV first to check it - after all, the issue could be simply bad caps, or it could be more complex.
If you can't spot anything wrong inside, take some pictures (top view and bottom view) of each board and post them here using the "Manage Attachments" button under your post.
