Why doesn't it turn on?
Fault to the main power supply regulator section. Either it will be a separate board, or the part of main board. Check and replace damaged component/s at its main power regulator [SMPS] section circuit. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts.

It will be best to replace the power supply regulator board as card basis rather than making "Surgery" to it; which usually will make loss for both money and time. Even though you can make it right, it will cost around an amount equal to the cost of a new board; including the cost of (spare parts + service charge) More to say, most of the spare parts to it will be difficult to get from open electronic spare part market. This is true to most of the flat panel TV power supply boards; irrespective of its brand and screen size.
Who the hell informed you, if there is no bulged capacitors at the power supply; it has no fault at all?
Our 42" Vizio will not display/play sounds when
Hello
One board takes in the HDMI as well as the other signals. Sometimes part of the board breaks and that is what sounds like has happend in your case. This is a fairly common problem and most people tend to just live with it. Others sell thier tv and a few find the number of thier board to see if one is available on ebay or shopjimmy. If you are comfortable with electronics the board is not hard to replace.
Im sorry your HDMI broke....
I hope this helps
Tv doesn't pick up signal from remote
Hi Connie,First of all, thank you for posting your question here at Fixya.Please ensure that the battery is in good condition. Check the battery terminal for corrosion, Scratch it with fine sandpaper.If the battery and its terminal is not the issue, please confirm if the remote control emits an infrared by pointing directly the sensor (infrared emitter) to your cellphone/digital camera. If it is working fine, you will be able to see the flash of the infrared through the screen of your camera. Watch the video below.
If you've confirmed that there's no infrared coming out from the remote control then this is an indication that the remote control itself is already faulty. Replace it with new one (part no.
0980-0305-3300 ).If you can see the flash of the infrared, the IR board inside the TV is faulty. Please inquire at this link for replacement.Hope I helped you.Good luck and have a great day!Jdvillanueva
Lost red color
NO red should be fixable but base decision on age of set and cost to repair---if loss of red (total) I would suspect main signal board that processes all information to the screen for the picture.

Not powering on
Change input device to some other like a DVD player and see.Switch off TV, switch off power, remove plug and wait for 48 hours and retry.If problem persists, call in a qualified service technician.
