The wheel may or may not be sold by itself--Google the model number to see if it has one, and then look at you tube as they have instructions for replacing wheels in several brands.Hint: it may have been made for them by Sharp.
Vizio TV heard lot pop len lhen lost sound and picture but them comes on
l suspect power supply board has failed---someone would have to open and check all voltage going in and out of the board----if outs are missing (any) the board would have to be replaced.If you get it open examine the filter caps on the power supply board to see if any are puffed up on top---the tops are silver and should be perfectly flat with no brown material leaking out at top or bottom.I suspect based on description a component (likely a big IC) failed and they are usually covered with a metal heat sink (plate) so cannot be actually seen---they pop and dead set.

Six years is a long time in todays TV world most start doing this around 2 -3 years just after warranty has expired. Plot? yes I think so given the number we see on here. It can be fixed if you cease to try running it as it will get worse the longer you leave it Estimated cost $2-300
