    Vizio VX42L no sound and no picture

    My TV w/ manufacturing date of March 2008 will turn on (vizio light goes from orange to white) and the screen lights up for a split second. I assume that's the black light coming on. There is no sound or picture.

    After reading through the forums and followed some steps I came across a swollen capacitor. (picture below) I have also posted what I think would be a good replacement. My question is what this new capacitor be a good replacement.

      Yes. For those who don't want to open up the pdf, it is Panasonic FM on digikey's website.

              For the regulars who are wondering why I didn't include my standard response it is because the caps in this TV are Rubycon and United Chemi-con from the supplied picture.

                  Yes, but if one cap has gone and they appear to be under a heat sink is it not likely that the others nearby will be cooked?
                  ( no disrespect intended - just for learning purposes)
                  Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

                      Possibly, but other VX42Ls seem to have the same problem with this single cap. See

                      PS. United Chemi-con KY caps are good caps. The KY series is found in many ATX power supplies (including a Corsair that I have).

                          Vizio M65-E0 No Picture, No Sound
                          by ggil44
                          Hi I inherited a Vizio M65-E0 that isn't working. It must have been dropped on the corner because I found that the infrared circuit had a capacitor with one end broken off of the board and some green corrosion around the plug to the main board. I re-soldered the capacitor and cleaned the corrosion well and tried turning the M65-E0 on and I was successful. My problem is that while the back lights come on and appear to perform local dimming there is no picture or sound. It kind of looks like you are looking at the TV through a very dense fog, where changing the input on the remote will change bright...

                          by TR103
                          Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                          - sound and backlight, but no picture
                          - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                          - it keeps rebooting
                          - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                          - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                          - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                          Samsung UE60KU6079 backlight okay mainboard responsive, no picture, no sound
                          by Ierwin
                          Hello everyone,
                          Ive got a UE60KU6079 on the workbench that is giving me some headaches trying to troubleshoot.
                          The previous owner stated that there had been white dots on the screen which from the description sounded like some lenses fell of the backlight LEDs.
                          He had opened the TV from the back, trying to get to the backlight, supposedly gave up, reassebled everything and gave the TV to me.
                          I expected the worst like ripped COF cables or a cracked panel but could not find anything like that yet.
                          Anyway I still fully expect that there has been something seriously damaged...

                          Hi all

                          I was just given a Samsung TV with the issue. I read various threads and videos and attempted the ribbon tape method to gain an image, but no luck.



                          Symptom:
                          No picture no sound.
                          When I plug in the power cord, Backlight LED turns on for a half second and then turns off. The red LED next to the power button located center bottom flashes 2 or 3 times. When the power button is pressed after, it does the same thing.
                          No sound at all.



                          What I tried:
                          1. I tried unplugging the left or right ribbon...

                          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                          by Tynan Dill
                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.
