Vizio E60u-D3 Power Supply Help

[Roccot]

My TV died because of a storm and I took it to a nearby shop. They charged me 100, said the power supply board was the problem (which i figured, given the surge) and said the repair would be an additional 350.

I just don't have that kind of money, so I went on ShopJimmy and got the power supply myself (Vizio 09-60CAP0A0-00). The part arrived today and I did the swap, which seemed to be a relatively easy fix.

The TV still doesn't power on at all and I'm not even getting the standby light.

Was hoping one of you would be able to at least point me in the right direction. I'll provide pictures if anyone thinks that'll help.

Yes pictures will help as we do not have the actual TV in front of us. Clear, focused and close-up. Not just the PSU but with the back removed to see all the boards and how they are connected.

I have a feeling the main board is damaged.

Wouldn't the standby light still come on, though?

The board currently connected is the new board from shop jimmy.

If the new power supply is putting out standby Voltage to run the main board, so if the main board is good then the standby light should be on since it is driven by the main board.
When the TV is hit by surge usually the surge will come through the connection between the TV and the what ever Video source you have hooking up to the TV.

With everything connected, try measuring the voltage at pin 13 (PS_ON) on the power supply wiring harness. Measure this voltage with the TV off and once again when you press the on/off button on the TV.

Will try tomorrow morning. At work and I work nights. Pretty sure my neighbor has a multimeter though.

Is there any chance it's the power cord?

Re: Vizio E60u-D3 Power Supply Help

There is not much of a chance its the power cord, unless someone did'nt plug it in.
On some tv's the front led comes on when the tv is on and is off in standby, the led is usually controlled by the main board.

Yeah, it was definitely plugged in correctly...

The standby light on my tv doesn't stay on, but comes on and fades out after you turn on the TV (which I love, because it's not there when you're watching something). The day after the surge, when we went to power it on, the light came on and abruptly shut off. I read that this happens when there is something wrong with my tv. I'm guessing it was just the extra power that the tv still had (residual power?). I tried that holding the power button for 30 seconds thing and it was a no go and that's when I took it in, which I regret doing.

It was the only thing not plugged into a surge protector... The most expensive thing. I feel so stupid.

The surge protector "might" have protected the power supply, but that does'nt seem to be your problem.
I just a a friend loose a canon printer, it was pluged into a surge protector along with the pc etc. power was off, when it came back on the printer was non functional, It would power on but had lost its brains.
The power supply, supplies +16 volts to the main board, I suspect all the other lower standby voltages are created on the main board, I do see a few regulator ic being used on it.

Ahh, so the standby light does COME on it just dose not stay on, that is different symptom than never come on, so at least the main board is active otherwise the standby light will never come on at all if it is completely dead, very important missing info.

Not exactly sure, seems like main board, there's one with a decent price, as always triple check to insure it's a match if you get it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/VIZIO-1P-01...0AAOSwmgJY5Zcl

Re: Vizio E60u-D3 Power Supply Help

Could be the storm borked up your eeprom on mainboard, can replace it with some soldering, I'd buy the main, decent price and never hurts to have a spare.

No, sorry, I just re-read my post and I was speaking generally about my model of TV, not what it is currently doing. Gotta start proof-reading my stuff! The day after it happened the light came on. Since then it has not.

Re: Vizio E60u-D3 Power Supply Help

Just checked the new power supply board with multimeter. Pin 1-1.7 and pin 15-14.9

Re: Vizio E60u-D3 Power Supply Help

Please provide the pin names so we can tell what it should have, without the pin names we will not have any idea what the pins function are.
Please report the reading of all the pins except the GND pins.
Example:
Pin 1 (VSNS) TV off = ??? V, TV on (power switches activated) = ???V
Pin 2 (????) .........

Okay will do when I get home. What is the safest way to turn the power on with the back off? And is there anything else I should be testing besides the one with the 15 pins?

Re: Vizio E60u-D3 Power Supply Help

Just do not touch anything with your body and your hand, if you want a little of safety then you should plug the TV into GFCI outlet at the very least.
Test Voltages on those 15 pins first, the info will give us some ideas as to what the problem is.

Re: Vizio E60u-D3 Power Supply Help

Plugged tv in and tested all 15 pins with multimeter. Numbers were identical (or within .01) for each pin before and after pressing power button on side of tv.

pin 1 - 1.5
pin 2 - .2
pin 3 - .7
pin 4 - 1.2
pin 5 - 1.3
pin 6 - 1.8
pin 7 - This one was just bouncing around all over the place. no reading
pin 8 - 1.8
pin 9 - 1.9
pin 10 - 1.9
pin 11 - 16.30
pin 12 - 3.99
pin 13 - 2.6
pin 14 - 16.31
pin 15 - 16.30

Checked a few random pins on other side of this cord (the side plugged into the main board) and they were the same as on the power supply pins.
