Re: Vizio P50HDTV10A blew fuse

I replaced every cap on the power supply and put it all back together. I think I may have found my root cause. The AC power connector had an extremely loose wire. It has red, blue, and green wires that are connected to the AC input using solderless terminals. The blue wires female quick disconnect was loose and the clear rubber insulation boot was blackened and melted. I replaced the terminal and cleaned the male side as well. The set has been working great for the past 10 hours of straight netflix use by my kids.

My only issue now is...

Thanks MagicSmoke. Mine is a late 2006 with LG panel and internals as well. Do you remember which ones were problematic? I count 25 Caps, not including the giant ones, on the power supply board. Im thinking about just replacing them all.

Hey all, I have a Vizio P50HDTV10A that I recently acquired. The previous owner said he was watching it and it popped and wouldn't turn back on. I cracked it open and found no blown or bulging caps anywhere. I checked the 8a ceramic fuse and it was open. I did not have another 8A so i popped in a 4A glass and the set fired right up and all the voltages were accurate. I proceeded to watch Netflix for about 5 hours before the 4 amp fuse let go. I have the correct fuse on order. My question is would it be wise to recap the power supply before I put the TV back in service? I dont know what caused...
