Re: Vizio VX42L HDTV10A not coming out of standby

Yes, I agree. I did see the original post and I do have a meter.

Thanks,

Thanks!
The cost is low enough for me to give this a try.

Hoadle,
I am very curious, exactly what partnumber did you get (fixed or variable output) and where?

Thanks,
Dave

Re: Vizio VX42L HDTV10A not coming out of standby

Thanks for the additional information. Since my original posting I have replaced the power supply board with a used one, as it cost only $45. It was cheaper than replacing caps and/or buying even a cheap esr meter. Of course with my luck, it did absolutely nothing to fix the tv. So, that brings me to the main board. I can still start it with the unplugging procedure and probably will do nothing until I get sick of unplugging it, or it craps out completely. At that point I am thinking of a used board and having it rebuilt

Re: Vizio VX42L HDTV10A not coming out of standby

Here's a couple pics:...

Have a problem with my Vizio VX42L HDTV10A that I am seeking guidance on.

The problem:

On a cold start up the tv will not turn on. I can press the power button on the tv or the remote and nothing at all happens. The orange vizio standby light is on and does not blink or flicker, glows steady.

If I unplug the tv from the outlet for several seconds, plug it back in, it will start normally. I usually have to repeat this several times. The Vizio standby light changes from orange to light blue and the tv turns on normally and will run completely normal....
