Re: vizio vw47l fhdtv blowing master inverter board fuse.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll go pick up the TV over the weekend to look at the caps. Would bad caps be the cause of the fuse blowing? Anything else you recommend I check? Thanks

Greetings. I was troubleshooting a friend's Vizio TV that would turn on but had no picture. I noticed that the master inverter board had a blown ceramic 10Amp fuse. I ran a jumper cable across the fuse and the TV screen came on and worked fine. I replaced the fuse and the TV worked fine for a couple of weeks but then blew the fuse again. I replaced the fuse yet again but in blew again in a few days.

While the fuse was good the TV worked fine. Are there any suggestions as to what to check for to determine why the fuse is blowing or would a new inverter board be in order?
