    Vizio Picture goes black....

    60" 2006 Vizio Plasma...You power up & after an intermittent time (few seconds to few minutes) picture goes black; audio stays on; power stays on.
    From what I've been able to learn it may be the main board...anyone else had this problem or could help?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    What is the model number?
    Do you have a Voltage/Ohm's meter (VOM) or digital multi meter (DMM)?
    How do you feel about taking the set apart?

        Begin by disassembling the TV and taking pictures. We can tell you where to check for supply voltages and other simple checks. The main board sounds plausible but it could also be a cold solder joint or a loose connector.
        Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
        For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.

          Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
          by Mgiffune
          I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

          I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and

          vizio M3D550KDE Black & white picture
          by yankys
          HI everyone Pick up this 55" VIZIO tv that only plays in black and white picture doesn't matter what inputs HDMI or apps, but all the menus are in color, if you're on Netflix everything in color until you play any show. I'm thinking main board if so, can the board be reflowed to try and correct this?

          Sony xbr-65x930e faded to black; now has backlight but no picture
          by kerberos137
          Hopefully someone can help me out. This tv was working perfectly until a few weeks ago. At some point, the TV just faded to black, but sound continued playing. It almost looked like smoke on the screen as it faded from the bottom left corner toward the top right. Took only a second or less, but wasn't instant. After restarting, it turned back on and worked fine for another day or two. Then it happened again more or less the same way, but in a slightly different direction, again with sound continuing. I thought it was working fine after another restart, but looked a bit dimmer than before. Then...

          Vizio M65-E0 No Picture, No Sound
          by ggil44
          Hi I inherited a Vizio M65-E0 that isn't working. It must have been dropped on the corner because I found that the infrared circuit had a capacitor with one end broken off of the board and some green corrosion around the plug to the main board. I re-soldered the capacitor and cleaned the corrosion well and tried turning the M65-E0 on and I was successful. My problem is that while the back lights come on and appear to perform local dimming there is no picture or sound. It kind of looks like you are looking at the TV through a very dense fog, where changing the input on the remote will change bright...

          Vizio D50u-D1 Powers up no picture
          by csmith
          I replaced the backlights all good. Two months later set was dead, had a shorted D9100, replaced all good again.
          Now months later set powers up,backlights light ok,no picture. 12volts missing from fuse on tcon. 12VA on power
          supply is 19 volts. Changed D9100 again, same, 12 volts measures 19. Am I looking at a power supply or mainboard
          issue. Set will power up with remote but not power off....
