Vizio VW42L @#%$#@ Can't Post

Hello,

I have a vizio vw42l that I got for free. The guy I got it from said he heard a loud "zap" noise then the screen went black. When the power button is pressed the unit comes on for about 2 seconds then goes black again. I am somewhat of a hack and removed the back cover and visually inspected all of the readily accesible boards and could find nothing obviously wrong. One interesting side note. I powered the unit on with the inverter boards ungrounded and the unit came on and stayed on with a flickering picture. As soon as I grounded either one of the inverters the screen went black again.
What should I replace?

Thanks in advance for your advice....

Usually with Vizio this will be bad capacitors on the inverter board.
