I've done a lot of searching but didn't find a thread that covered the same issue with an LCD. If this has already been covered I apologize and direct me if you can.
I've got a Vizio VW42L FHDTV10A that has developed several different issues of the years.
The first started a few years ago with no display but would have sound when turned on. Could turn off and turn back on and all was well. Didn't happen that often so I didn't worry about it. Then it got worse...it would turn on but after a few seconds would turn off. Turn it on a few more times and all was good. Then got to the point it was a pain to get it to stay on. I let it set for a few month then decided to see what I could find wrong. Found 2 bad caps on the main board. Replaced them. All was good....so I thought. Turns on and off just fine. Stays on when turned on. Now on to the new developed second issue.
All inputs seem to work except the HDMI. I have a Chromecast plugged into one of the HDMIs. When I plug in the Chromecast it goes to a black screen. I reboot the Chromecast and it shows the Chrome logo but then goes to a black screen when it should be showing the scrolling backdrops. I can stream something to the Chromecast and I get audio but no video. I plugged in my old Blu-ray player and it shows the splash screen but then goes black or flickers from blue to black. I've switched the resolution of the Blu-ray player to everything I can but does the same thing. It's almost like it will only display 480i.
Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Mike
