Hi all,
This is my first post. I have been working on repairing a 37” VIZio tv. Initially, the tv would not power on, no standby light either so I had to replace the power board.i was able to get it working except it wouldn't turn on, I replaced the eeprom and was able to get it to work. The problem now is that the image freezes and the tv turns off then it turns back on only to do the same a couple times and eventually stay off. This only happens when the indoor antena is plugged in. I was able to watch an entire movie when I used the hdmi port. I also noticed that the RF port gets really hot even when the antenna is not plugged in. Also, the RF is warm even when the tv is off (only plugged into the wall) so I'm guessing there is a short somewhere affecting the RF port. Anyone ever come across something like this? What would I look for to solve this issue? Thanks in advance
