    If you have a computer with a LINE IN jack, or a set of computer speakers, you can use an RCA to 3.5mm cable to do the test. It helps break the problem down to the amplifier or something else.

                Vizio m65-c1 picture flashing on and off on the screen
                by maricm
                HI all,
                hope someone point to the possible issue before I start buying replacement parts.
                Tv starts normal and responds to remote fine, PSU voltages mesured fine 19v was 18.9V under load and 19V with main board disconnected.
                Backlight stays on all the time,
                Sound works fine.
                screen keeps changing form black to full picture in about 1sec intervals.
                Picture looks fine with no visible artifacts.
                I have disconnected backlights and flashlight test confirmed that picture is still doing the same.


                Disconnecting left and right ribbons on...

                Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
                by x_orange90_x
                I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

                I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...

                Vizio P502ui-B1E, delayed video, white flash, flashing picture UGH!!!
                by DXseekerMO
                About a week and a half ago this TV was traded in to me with the complaint: upon turning it on one morning a white blob slowly spread across the screen. Before I got it the TV had been sitting about 3 weeks. I also found the RF IN connector was missing. I turned it on for evaluation and got the splash screen/menus.

                I installed a 75ohm RF connector, repaired several bad grounds on the power board and chassis, checked all boards for loose screws and cleaned the entire inside of the TV. After all appeared well, the TV was tested for 40 hours and was subsequently put up for sale. ...

                Vizio E701i-A3 Vizio logo flashing then turns off
                by Super360
                Ok so here's the story. I was watching tv one day when all of a sudden I heard a pop from the back of the tv set and rushed to unplug the set. By this time the tv already had smoke coming out the back. It was not storming or inclement weather that day to cause a power surge to the best of my abilities. When I opened the tv up, I found that the three capacitors on the psu (highlighted in red) were all bulging and looked they had exploded. I replaced all of them right away and when I went to start up the tv after the "fix" it started just showing the flashing vizio logo as soon as power...
