While changing a light switch in my kitchen, I inadvertantly touched the hot and ground together in the switchbox. It tripped the circuit breaker immediately. The TV apparently shared the same circuit and was on at the time of the incident.
The TV now , when turned on, will only show the Vizio logo screen for a minute or two then shut down. Then the vizio light at the bottom of the tv will flash from amber to white for a few minutes then goto the logo screen and shutdown after a minute or two. This repeats until it is unplugged.
I have tried the cold reset. I took the back cover off and visually inspected the boards and components and found no obvious issues. I checked all the fuses I could find and found them to be unblown.
A new TV of the same type and size will run me almost $600. A repair from a professional will run me close to $350 and only be warranteed for 90 days.
Which board should be my first replacement? Should I roll the dice and buy used ones and hope I replace the correct one the first time? Or should I just bite the bullet and buy new?
Thanks for your input in advance
