First of all great site, read around and love all the info here! You guys are the best!
I have a 55" Vizio LCD TV VF550M that while I was watching TV in a thunderstorm the power went out and the tv popped and made a 5-7 second noise and quit working. I was able to get the tv to work with using the power button on the tv as the remote quit working. It worked for one night then popped again and all I have now is a orange Vizio light where it's getting power but not turning on. I have taken the back of the tv off and checked the boards checking for bad capacitors, doesn't look like this is my issue? My question is where do I check with the voltage meter on the board to see if I am getting correct voltage in the right areas? Pop of death from what I have read along the forum, TV is 4 years old as I purchased new in 09. This is my first time working on a tv, but I'm pretty handy when it comes to soldering. I will upload some pictures of the boards, maybe you guys can see something I can't. Sorry for the long read!
