    Vizio VW26L-No power

    I got a Vizio VW26L from my brother and the original problem was a Gray/White screen no image no sound. Pressing the power button on/off several times got the thing to function. It finally gave out a couple weeks later, No signs of power when plugged in. I pulled the PS board and found a couple of bad caps. Because i repair old stereos i have most of the caps on hand. Im going to replace the 3 2200uf/10v, 2-1000uf/25v, 3 1000uf/35v and the 100uf/50v caps on the board. I have included a couple of photos. Should i be looking at something else as well-Didn't see any fuses.
    If anyone has schematics or voltages and test points it would be helpful.

    Well, make sure the caps are low ESR type 105c rating not general purpose caps, since they may or may not work properly in switching power supply circuits.

    I use PANASONIC FM or FR or FC series from Digikey.

          1. Remove bad capacitors.
          2. Install good capacitors.

          Done.
