    Vizio V042L - Amber Light but no power

    Good Evening,
    I have a Vizio 42L has stated that when plugged in, the Amber vizio light is illuminated but when I push power, nothing happens.. I checked the power supply and found 2 bad caps which I replaced and the same thing happens. I figured maybe the board itself was dead so I purchased a new one, same thing happened and I returned the new one. Any ideas on whether this sounds like a main board problem to you guys?

                  Yes.

                  Please do not post pictures inline as they slow down the loading of pages.

                  For best picture quality and clarity take your boards to a window on a sunny day, turn flash off, and use macro mode. Take a top down view of all your boards (front and back). Make sure the photo is legible so that we can read the PCB printing clearly. A shutter speed of 1/125 or faster will produce nice clear focused pictures. Try to get a photo that is 2000x2000 resolution or as close as possible.

                  Here is an example of the pictures we want using the manage attachment function.

                  If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

                  We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

                  Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

                      Sorry for the delay! I will get those pictures taken as soon as I have a sunny day, one question in the meantime. My power board model is a 0500-0507-0520, DPS-260HP-1 A, the replacement board that was sent to me is a xxxx-0450, DPS-260HP A. Could this be the reason it didn't turn on when I replaced the board?

                      Thx

                          I read that a 0450 will work on the vw model but not the Vo model, but the 0520 will work on both models and mine is the VO model

                              by huzo
                              The board is daox8cmb6eo and i can't find no boardview or schematics on the forum or anywhere...

                              So i plug in the charger, amber light starts blinking ,there is 3.3V and 5V present, and 2.4V on the power button,board doesn't turn on, no shorts...
                              I've tried flashing the bios...

                              interesting thing is the battery was around 7,8V, and it's 11.1V battery, the mosfet near the battery is open, but not charging,i desoldered it,tested it and it's fine ,but the amber light kept going on the charger so i charged the battery with power supply and got it to about 10.5V...

                              Hi all!

                              I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                              I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                              Good day, hope all are healthy and cozy. I could use some help with my malfunctioning Vizio with a blinking power light. I have narrowed the problem to the main board but not sure what to do next. I guess it would be good to start with what I have done.

                              Problem:
                              I have no image, no sound, blinking power light. (left it plugged in overnight and it was still blinking the following morning). I tried the Vizio recommendations (hold power button for 30 seconds, press reset button, check the outlet is live)

                              Power Board:
                              I am getting 5v only. I have unplugged...

                              Vizio E550i-A0 no power, no standby light
                              by x_orange90_x
                              I have a Vizio E550i-A0 that will not power on. It also does not display the standby light in the corner. I disconnected the main board cable to see if the backlights would light but they did not (maybe this is normal for this set?). I checked the voltages on the plug and they all read in mV or 0, so there's no voltage there. The fuses are ok, and the voltages of the 450v caps read about 160v. I see no visual damage on either the power supply or main board. I have read online that the main board is usually the culprit in this model, but not getting backlights with the main disconnected makes me...

                              by zwect
                              I have this Dell Latitude 5420 with ST: CMF62F3, board GDF40 LA-K491P REV 3.0 that does not power on, i already searched for some clues about this problem that happens on mine but no BIOS i downloaded and flashed did anything.
                              Only when the power brick is connected, when pressing the power button an amber light lights up at the front and slight decreases its brightness, the RAM and the CPU seem to heat up if the laptop is left connected but nothing else, other than USB devices getting powered.
                              Here is the original BIOS dump from the 25R256JVEN chip.
