So you do see the Vizio logo display on the screen, but it takes "forever" for it to do that?

While the Vizio nameplate is flashing at you, does the screen at least look LIT? Not BLACK?

The TV turns on....it operates the Vizio nameplate with no problem, even turns on the Screen and displays Vizio on the screen.

But it's TIMING is SLOW....what took 10 - 15 seconds to go from startup, to displaying Vizio on the TV screen has been stretched out to several minutes.

Sound about right, short of it cycling this over and over?

I'd replace the main board, because it has everything, including the system control and micro on it.

Part number is CBPFTXACB5K05304 and it's NOT in stock at any supplier right now.

Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.

Have you tried resetting the T.V.? Try unplugging the T.V. while holding the power button in. Keep holding the power button in for about 45 seconds then release and turn the T.V. back on and see if that works.
