Well well, I am a bit new here, but it looks like you guys seem to know your stuff.
I am the proud owner of a Vizio L32HDTV (10A) which just an hour or so ago decided to no longer function.
Was going to watch a movie, suddenly found I was unable to adjust volume or anything with my remote. I figured it was a faulty battery and decided to adjust the volume on my TV's buttons. No such luck.
I then thought oh well I'll just turn it off an then on again. No such luck.
Well then I finally decided to kill it via pulling the plug from the wall, well that seemed to have done the trick. I then left it for about a minute or so, plugged it back in. Hit power, got nothing.
I haven't popped it open yet since I need to get ready for a family lunch later today, but I still get the nice amber light showing the TV is still getting power so I know its not entirely dead, but if anyone here has the slightest idea where to start looking for a problem (I'm guessing mainboard since the control issues) I would love some help.
Thanks

Experience: Some minor CRT repair (identifying & replacing bad capacitors, fixing bad solder connections).
TV is out of warranty, I've sent an email to Vizio but I have yet to hear a response and I'm not sure how great they will be about helping me. ("Did you try pressing power, is it plugged in? *facepalm)
