Question

I have a 1+ year old vizio 37" LCD television. After about 15 minutes turned on, the screen goes black...the power light is still on and I can hear sound out of the speakers, but the screen stays black until I turn it off and return after 10 or 15 minutes... I can then turn it back on, but the same situation repeats itself every time. Any suggestions? it''s just out of warranty of course but I hate to have to buy a new one, since this is not old by any means.

On the back of the TV there should be a plate or label that has the model number of the TV. I believe it is a longer number than L37.

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your reply. First I would suggest you try unplugging the TV for about one hour. When it is plugged back in, if you are very lucky, the TV will work correctly. Most likely the problem has a problem with a circuit overheating and the safety circuitry of the TV is shutting down the picture to prevent further damage. The TV could have a cold solder joint that can also cause this problem. Someone with the proper test equipment and the knowledge to use it will be needed. This is not a DIY repair due to the cost of the test equipment and the training required to use it. This should be worth getting repaired. You might want to contact the dealer ( 1-888-849-4623) to see the possibility of getting the extended warranty on the TV to cover future problems.
