SOURCE: Vizio VO420E " TURN ON, tv is showing no picture

It can be the main board, power supply, backlight inverter, etc.
You need to do some troubleshooting to narrow down the probelm, so please read my guide first.
First, look at the screen in darkened room to see if you can see any slight glow from the screen, if it does, then the problem can be the T-CON (not getting the 12vdc) or the main logic board not feeding the signals to the T-CON board.
if not, next place to check will be the power supply module, make sure it has 24vdc which is required by the backlight inverter to work, the reason for not having 24vdc can be from bad DC filter caps (leaking/bulging top, high ESR) or short circuits in the inverter board which will cause the 24vdc supply to go into shutdown mode, so you may have to disconnect the power cable that feed the inverter board to see if the 24vdc will work without the inverter board hookup, you will need to apply about 3~4 amp of load to the 24vdc to make sure it can handle that. There are fuses on the backlight inverter boards also. So there is some troubleshooting you will have to do to find out the causes of the problem you are having.

If you are going to DIY and have proper tools, electronics knowledge, and know safety precaution then please read on:

I can't figure out how to hook up netfix to my TV. my remote has nothing on it to connect to netfix can you help me

Hello, David -

For one thing I do not believe your model of Vizio TV is a Smart TV.

See the specifications for your model (first manufactured in 2009) here:
https://www.cnet.com/products/vizio-vo420e/specs/

Best wishes.

VIZIO VO420E the channels are locked and I only can get two channels I have no tv carrier its just the built in converter I have scaned it and still only gets 2 channels

All the other channels, except the two you are receiving now, might have skipped. Check it. Refer its user manual for details.

I have a Vizio 42 in LCD, model VO420E. The TV makes a loud screeching noise, the screen goes crazy and then shuts off and starts again. There sometimes is a pop. Other times the TV just makes the POP...

Hi well what's happening is that the "Protection circuitry" in the SMPSU has/is detecting a potentially catastrophic fault, and to stop a fire AND EXPLOSION OR INDEED BOTH, IS ATTEMPTING TO SHUT THE SET DOWN FOR SAFETY REASONS, HOWEVER AFTER IT SHUTS DOWN, THE "FAULT" APPEARS TO "GO" AND THEN THE SMPSU STARTS UP AGAIN , ONLY TO DETECT THE FAULT AND SO ON... USUALLY ENDLESSLY OR UNTIL COMPLETE FAILURE OCCURS.
What to do, well in all reality DIY is NOT feasible unless one has LOTS of experience, test gear, tools, isolation transformer, and a service manual. So, contact the local or head office from VIZO, ask them for a referral to an authorised service center, hopefully a local one? in any event, make face to face contact here and ONLY ask first for a "Quote" as to prospective costings and go from there, this way at least you can make up your mind as to repair or replace?

Vizio VO420E- Picture gets darker then screen goes blank

I have the same issue, its caused by the program powersaver when running an HDMI port. if you turn on the TV and your HDMI device close to the same time the info transfered between them tells the TV that the HDMI device is in sleep mode so the tv starts dark then fades black to save power. easy fix, turn on either the tv or HDMI device and wait till it is fully on before tunring on the other.
