Re: Once again a Visio VX42L - No Snd or Pic

Forum Gent's...
Better late than never... Sorry guys for the lack of a follow up on my repair. I was out of country for awhile,(military), and just forgot to get back in here. Any way the problem was the F1 on the Inverter board, (see#9 from budm). I couldn't find a fuse to replace the bad one, it's rather small. I found it eaiser to just order a new VX42L mother board for $60/with free /shipping off ebay. Installed the new board and presto----"great picture!"
Kids have been watching it every day now with NO problems....

I'll follow up on this post as soon as I can get this changed out.
To all .... Thanks again!

Re: Once again a Visio VX42L - No Snd or Pic

Again thanks for the direction...

How do you guys find these little thingie's??? budm's is correct the F1 is open. Geeze... looked all over that area for an F anything.
Can't figure out how the pull the ribbon connectors from the TCon. A little worried about pulling ribbon loose.
Flashlight shoes no picture on screen.

So... I'm gonna have to replace the F1 fuse... the "20" would be ??

Cheers all… Was hoping to gather enough information so as not to have to bother the forum with another repetition of a similar Visio problem…. No luck!! Pulling the back off the set, grabbing a screw driver and Multimeter and diving in is like christmas for me....

Issue: Visio VX42L has no display, back light or sound. When plugged in, Amber "Visio" is present and turns white when turned on by either the switch or remote. *** "VISIO" returns to amber when turned off by sw or rmt.

Trouble shooting thus far - Closely checked ALL...
