Re: VIZIO VO42L No picture, No Sound

Here is a few pictures of my boards off the Internet. It's not my actual boards, but these are the same boards that are in my tv. What would you recommend that I try next?

I seem to have no problems with my MOSFET's but I don't know what to try next. My backlights aren't lighting so it would have to be the inverter boards right?

How would I check the caps on the inverter boards? Are they checked with ohms also? I've looked very careful at all the boards and I can't see any burn marks or bulging caps....

I also don't have Internet on my computer right now. I'm using my phone. I took pictures with my phone but I can't upload them to the wesite using my phone.

I read another post where people were getting a reading of 8.5k. Are my MOSFET's too low or is 7.33k in the acceptable range?
Thanks for...
