Why does my Visio 42" plasma screen go dark on start up and the green light stay on?

Question

When I turn the tv on it starts to come on and then a click is heard and the screen goes dark but the green on light stays on. I took off the back and checked the voltages on the power board and they were ok. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

If the warranty is still good take it back and have them give you a replacement. Call Vizio and tell them what's going on...If its not in warranty... check out http://yp.yahoo.com and search for a tv repair person in your area.

Answer 2

Same prob here, took it in to the dealer repair and the fee to fix it is $460bucks.  These Visio, Dayteks etc are junk.  Learned my lesson.
