    Vizio e65-f0 oddity

    So I turn TV on. TV has no backlight but has picture. I considered LEDs, either way some oddity and I pulled it down to the LEDs and all LEDs light up and aren't dead. So I have it down to LEDs and plugged in and can hit power button (no panel connected) and I get these voltages

    connector CN201
    pin 1 (18vsb1) = 18v
    2 (18vsb1) = 18v
    3 (18vsb2) = 18v
    4 (18vsb2) = 18v
    5 (GND)
    6 (GND)
    7 (GND)
    8 (GND)
    9 (ps on/off) = 3.3
    10 (bl on/off) = 3.3
    11 (NC)
    12 (NC)

    CN301
    1 (vsync) = .017
    2 (hsync) = 3.3
    3 (mosi) 0
    4 (sclk) .057
    5 (miso).036
    6 (cs) 3.3
    7 (GND)
    8 (fault) = .044 and fluctuating to .8and drops immediately. Every 1 sec
    9 (5v sw) = 4.975
    10 (GND)


    CN601
    1 (v out) = 36v
    2 (vout) = 36v
    3 (vout) = 36v
    4 (nc)
    5 (nc)
    6 (nc)
    7 (led 1) = 5v
    8 (led 2) = 5v
    9 (led 3) = 5v
    10 (led 4) = 5v
    11 (led 5) = 5v
    12 (led 6) = 5v
    13 (nc)

    CN602
    1 (v out) = 36v
    2 (vout) = 36v
    3 (vout) = 36v
    4 (nc)
    5 (led 7) = 5v
    6 (led 8) = 5v
    9 (led 9) = 5v
    7 (led 10) = 5v
    8 (led 11) = 5v
    9 (led 12) = 5v

    Is the fault fluctuating telling us something? I'm using ground as negative for LED voltages, maybe that's wrong. But backlights will NOT turn on.

    I need help backlights need to turn on. Any experience with this?

    Carefully measure the capacitors sitting sideways, a probe on each leg, what do you get it in standby and when powered on.

      I did, they read 389v both ways, for some reason I can't get the BL voltage to stay at 36 steady anymore

      So I noticed when I disconnect the main board, the one with fault from PB, fault goes to 3.3 and stays steady. When I plug it back in, that's when it goes from nothing, tries to jump up to 3.3 (I assume) and just drops back down. It keeps repeating this cycle continuously.

      Anyone know what this fault thing is? Maybe connected to this all?

        I can only assume something odd is coming from the main board telling it not to turn on or something. Thoughts?

          All c76,75,78,77 caps read short.

          Would reflow or whatever on main chip handle this you think?

            Short or low resistance ?

              000.1 or 000.2 all sides of each of them are short to ground also. I'm not expert here maybe that's how it's supposed to be

                Re: Vizio e65-f0 oddity

                Does anyone know what this fault thing is? Seems to be potential to the issue? Since it keeps fluctuating

                I've tried disconnecting the main board with this pin, and the power board keeps it at 3.3v along with cs

                I then pulled just that wire out the harness on pb side and plugged harness back in and it's fluctuating again. Something is sending a signal to it from MB I assume

                    Well where does that one faulty wire lead to on the mainboard, can you trace it and see what component/s it leads to/thru.

                      You ask the tough questions lol. I don't know yet lol I'll look and try take pictures. Do those short caps indicate something maybe?

                      Also Sony, you have 10,000 posts since 2013. That's 3 posts a day, off topic are you a TV repair person or what do you do. I'm a stay at home dad that is just fixing/selling and saving all cash for investment properties. Something to do since I can't go anywhere really

                        Repair or trying to repair all things electronic or mechanical has been a long time hobby for me, not a career, good thing too because I'm too slow to fix things to make much money from it. Specially since prices plunged, I spend about an hour or so per day on it, should prolly switch to music, music is fun, a lot of times this is not.

                          Coo coo, ya I love fixing anything no matter what it is. I started with a OLED addition and telling wife I'm buying OLED for every room, bought first OLED for $50 broken. Fixed and started from there. Decided people giving away free "black tvs" and I flip them. I'm probably around 30 fixed so far. Probably 6-10 helped from here. I'm having fun. This Vizio is pissing me off though. Main board or PSU is what I see and I'm thinking main. I'd like to be a little more sure tho. Lights definitely work. Still need problem to find though

                            On those caps reading short, how are you measuring, if you have your neg. probe on ground prolly only one side should show continuity/test as short.

                              Lots of times when several read short it can be the ic closest to it that's the problem.

                                I measured one side neg one side red. Then I stuck new on a ground screw hole and measure each side. All 4 caps read grounded on both sides

                                    I'll have to bust out my short killer, never got it to help yet. We will see soon!

                                    The thing is though, I turn TV on and I get a picture. So I'm skeptical lol, but no BL won't turn on

                                      Ok, no backlights then, take the cable CN201 off from powerboard to mainboard on powerboard side and measure those connector
                                      pins again on the powerboard.

                                        Tried that, they all become 3.3v lower. So 14.7, 14.7, none for bl on or PSON. I did check that, all voltages look normal. I'll still look through this motherboard here tonight.

                                          by Tynan Dill
                                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                          Assuming...

                                          Vizio E65-F0 really dead

                                          Hi everybody!

                                          I've got a Vizio E65-F0 smart tv that is good and dead. It shows no signs of life when I press the power button on the back. The power LED in the lower right corner doesn't light, there is no backlight and no picture.

                                          So I took the back off and started poking around figuring one or more of the caps had dried out. My esr meter says all the caps on the power supply board and the mainboard are less than 1 ohm.

                                          I decided to check the voltages coming off the power supply they are as follows:

                                          connector CN201
                                          pin 1 (18vsb1)...

                                          Failure Symptom



                                          No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

                                          Where is the short?

                                          Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



                                          Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...

                                          Vizio SmartCast TV software bug that looks like hardware
                                          by howardc64
                                          Bug looks like hardware so thought I posted it here. Exact same behavior on 2 different model 4K Vizio TVs running their SmartCast smarttv software. After launching youtube app, press vizio button on remote to return to the smarttv menu, once in awhile, a column of bad pixels will show for few seconds on the left hand side.



                                          It seems the vizio software is reinitializing hardware when returning to the smarttv menu. In general, SmartCast software isn't very good. Also will randomly (relatively infrequent) get no network connection when on wifi and require reboot....
