I have a Vzio GV47L LCD tv. We bought this about 13 months ago. The other day when it was on and working fine a loud pop noise came from the TV and the screen went black. I couldn't turn it off or all controls didn't work. The only way I was able to turn it off was to disconnect the power. I waited a few minutes and plugged it back in. I went to turn it on and it seem to come on as before but atfer the initial click with the touch screen buttons lighting up it locks up and nothing else happens. No control operations at all, just the touch screen buttons lit up and a black screen with no sound. Can anyone help please? I am very mechanically inclined (30yrs German car mecanic) so I'm not afraid to get into this.
Check your power board, most likely that's the part that is causing the problem.
Check the 3 little white parts in the right corner with copper end 1.5 ,1.5 and 3.0 i replaced mine and the tv work fine

This exact thing happened to me on June 1, 2009. Identical pop, same with the power cord. No operational values. Was the problem the power supply or the inverter, or both/ something else?

Thanks but I found on another post site what the problem was and I performed the fix. It was a blown fuse on the main board(not a removable fuse. soldered in place). It only cost me about 3 bucks and a little time and now it's fixed and running again.
are you talking about the main 8 amp fuse on the power board or the mother board fuses f-1 thru f-4 (where f4) is not showing to be used?
Wow, you described our "just past the warranty period" problem on our Vizio. Unfortunately, we're not a savvy as you, so don't have a clue how to go about getting into the TV and replacing a fuse that's soldered into place.
Vizio has offered NOTHING. Next: on hold with Sears repair, then to a someone who was extremely stupid, thus non-helpful. We'll try again tomorrow. It is beyond frustrating to have spent such money on a TV which, yes, has provided much entertainment... but, a fix should really be easier than this!!!!!!! It really should! Online, Sears can schedule us two weeks from now for a $100.00 look and see what else it would cost to repair.
where was the fuse? I see the main fuse "f1". Thanks
