The main board is defective the power on command originates from the main board and thats what gives the signal to start powering up the set. Replacing the main board should solve the issue. You can get the main board from www.tvcircuitboards.com
I have ordered it and waiting for it to come in. thanks
The new main board is in. Now the tv has a new power board. two new inverter boards and a new main board. after fighting with it for the past 2 hours the vizio light will turn from amber to white when i push the power button and after 3 seconds the backlights will come on, pushing the menu or source button does nothing on screen. after about 5 - 10 seconds the backlights will shut off but the vizio light remains white.

The 24vdc is turn on by the signal from the main logic board, it is not always on, the standby 5vdc is always on. So yes it can be the power supply board is bad, but just to besure we need to find out if it is getting the turn on signal from the main board first.
You can have 24vdc at the inverter board and it will not light up the CCFL until it gets the signal from the main logic board to turn the lamps on (this is the STANDBY condition, the TV is on but the screen in not lit up util it see the video signal).
Send me good clean and clear pictures of the power supply board, [email protected], connectors of the Power supply, bottom side of the board, then I may be able to tell you which pin is a control input pin. Most people will just throwing parts in and hope that they one of the parts will fix the problem. Used Power supply module for this TV is over $100. http://www.google.com/products?rlz=1T4GGIH_enUS282US283&q=delta+DPS-379AP&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=USsxTKn3J6TonQfFlJGEBA&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CCsQrQQwAw
