A very common problem w/ this set is a fuse that will open, that is located on the main board(the board w/ the tuner on it). This is a very small surface mounted fuse, it's white in color, and located at the upper right hand corner of the board, if looking at it from the back of the set. The location number is F3 and the fuse is 1.5 amp. I have seen many of these. I would definately start there.
Following your instructions, I just found that the F3 fuse was open in my Vizio Gallevia GV47L. Instead of trying to purchase that surface mounted microfuse somewhere at an Internet electronics store, I bought, today, a common 1.5 amp fast fuse at Radio Shack, plus a fuse holder. I mounted them at a free space right to the board, and soldered jumpers from the fuse holder to the top of the F3 fuse. It won't win a beauty contest, but the Vizio is working fine and well! Amount paid in parts: $4.90 (taxes included). Can supply a picture, if you wish.

Done!! Found the defective fuse... couldn't find the exact one at Radio Shack, but got a very small barrel one, which I solder directly on top of the defective one.
TV works perfectly... Total cost: Fuse soldering wire: $8.45 (Vizio rep. told me they could send a guy over for $385 tax!)... just incredible.
Thanks again for the great help...
I have the same issue with my Vizio.
If you could send my the Photo, Parts List and maybe instructions on the process.
