Re: Vizio VO42L FHDTV10 Cover off No Master or Slave

Did replacing the 3 capacitors on the Invertor fix your Flickering?, I finally am trying to fix mine again. It has a picture that is flickering with ghost type Zones across screen. My caps don't look damaged at all on the investor board., but willing to replace if it fixes problems

Thanks for the response.

I finally had time after Christmas to set the TV back up with the back off, and turn it on. The first thing I did was to go into the menu and reset everything to factory. I had been doing so much reading, i.e, people turning their backlight all the way down, and some resetting settings.

Then I hooked up a source to HDMI #1 & #2, #3, &#4, and turned it on. It worked, with no flickering or going to black. So I watched...

Here is # on the only inverter board on the LEFT.



Here is the complete INVERTER BOARD



The caps seem ok, on this board. Should I replace this board or look elsewhere?

I get good picture until it warms up, then flicker / strobe, then black screen.

Thanks...

I have this 42" Vizio TV that would start to FLICKER, STROBE after 3 or so minutes, and then go black. IF I turn it off, the same thing will happen after 3 or 5 minutes.

I read many threads and purchased the Capacitors to replace on the Master and Slave inverter boards, but to my surprise when I took off the back, it did not look the same as others. No small board at all on the right side, and a bigger board on the left.

Any suggestions as to what to look...

I am here also, trying to fix a 42" Vizio TV that when I opened I expected to see the Master and Slave, but nothing on the right, just a bigger board on left. Off to search.

Thanks, for madcaps.
