So this morning our 2 y/o 55" Vizio TV lost its picture (but not sound).  Some internet research point to the power supply board as a frequent culprit, and I found some videos on repairs.  After removing the rear panel (18 screws), I was able to identify the proper board and ordered a replacement from shopjimmy.com.  Specified FedEx overnight, but that probably means getting the board on Tuesday.

Probably won't be buying any more Vizio products in the future.
Samsung goes through this too, based on a friend's experience.  He ordered the part and it didn't fix the issue.

My vizio is fine, but I find the UI to need improvement, so I doubt I'll get another vizio...but we'll see when it's time to drop $1k vs 500 hundred bucks

My Samsung Plasma did this a few years ago...I called a TV repair guy. The guy put the TV face down on my carpet removed the back and removed and installed/soldered  new capacitors or something like that, he charged me $65.00 The capacitors probably cost a couple peanuts but he was fast and the TV was fixed. Same day service. He told me if you ever see a Flat screen on the trash pile that is probably what is wrong with it.

When my in-laws tv messed up, they sold it through Facebook for $20. Turns out the buyer was their neighbor. He fixed it, and offered to sell it back to them for $30 (which they did). All it needed was a cheap capacitor.

What'd he do?  Act not half as shocked as you and wander off like the one I encountered?

No he hit high gear. I think I scared him as much as I was caught off guard.
