I'm looking at a Vizio E41I-A2 where the V logo is stuck on the screen. Any ideas? Thanks for any help with this.

Can we see the whole back side of the TV so we can see all the boards? There are more than 2 boards in that TV.

I plugged it in & the V logo appears for a couple seconds & the screen goes off. The power light (white) turns off & on after the screen goes off.

I attached a few extra pictures since they weren't very clear. Thanks guys.

I would start by testing the power supply voltages at the plugs/cables going out to the other boards, do you have a digital multimeter? be careful when working with power supply, HIGH VOLTAGE, on primary side, can be deadly.

From my expereance with these newer vizio/JVC LED panels is mainboard failure. Doesn't look like this model has an EEPROM that can be swapped out.

I had a 2012 Vizio Made JVC that I got that did the same thing yours is doing the JVC logo would pop up and then the panel would shut down completely.

After a few hours of troubleshooting and the TV coming on perfectly fine with the back off, I found that one of the speaker wires had been smashed in-between the back shell and the wall mount braces, this came like this from the factory (great QA eh!) so I cut the damaged part of the wires soldered the 2 wires back together did a little shrink tubing and turned the panel on and is still working perfectly.

I would check all your connections and possible look for any kinked or smashed wiring inside the panel.

Try disconnecting the left connector to see if the power light stays on white.
if not, then try disconnecting the LVDS cable (flat white cable) between the main board and the LCD panel and see what happen.

Flashing power indicator sounds like main board problem.

see the connector on the left side of power supply?, turn the tv on and check them in dc voltage, see the writing next to it, legend, labeled 1 thru 14, you should get those voltages or very close to it, with everything hooked up, again be careful what you touch on power supply, if you have any voltages that dont match the legend, report it, number and voltage.

Thanks for all your posts. I ordered a main board & it will be here today. I'll keep you posted on if it was the culprit.
