When set is turned on, only the Vizio logo pictures shows, I cannot select any inputs by front panel controls and remote control. I have 5.5vdc, 12vdc and 24vdc coming from power supply. I suspect bad caps in main board I cannot find any service tips on this model. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Vizio E-320VL Turns on stuck with Vizio logo picture
Many Vizio (and other brands) have problems with the LDO regulators on the main board. Pictures are a big help. Attach them using 'Manage Attachments' - below the text entry area.

Originally posted by elegey View PostThanks Bill for your help. At the moment I do not have a good digital camera to take pics of the board. I do suspect, as you suggest, being a faulty component on the board. May be one of our members can provide you with the picture.
First, we can see the actual board, and spot defects the owner has not noticed. In one extreme example, I spent several hours helping someone with a 'two seconds to black' problem on a monitor before he finally supplied pictures of HIS power supply. And I realized at that point that he had many bulging caps on the power supply - a common cause of the problem.
Second, most manufacturers make modifications to their boards during a production run, some may use several different boards.
The third reason - I use it as a filter. If someone is unwilling to provide pictures, I see no reason to help them.
Lack of a camera is not a big deal; try borrowing one. My personal camera is an Olympus D-580 4 Megapixel camera with zoom. In the proper hands it can provide excellent pictures; even in my hands it does an adequate job. They are available (used) on eBay for under $15, including shipping. And there are other, better cameras available for similar prices.

Re: Vizio E-320VL Turns on stuck with Vizio logo picture
Plain Bill. I did measure the dc voltages coming from the power supply to main board. All ok, 5v, 12v, and 24 volts. I hope we can find a schematic for this one. Some componets values: U103: M281G9084, U608: 17809(9 volts regulator) checked ok, input 12.12vdc, output 9.08vdc(set on), U704: M377 117-18, U706: LD 33 C941. Thanks for the help.

Take a look at the picture Village Electronics attached (ignore the troubleshooting guide, that's a bonus). Note that it is possible to see the entire board. That is important. It is big - 1600 x 900 pixels. That is very important because it allows me to identify 5 probable 1117 type voltage regulators, another that is possibly a 1084? type, and one more candidate that is possibly a 7800 type. I can also see two fuses and two probable buck regulators.

Re: Vizio E-320VL Turns on stuck with Vizio logo picture
Originally posted by elegey View PostThanks Plain Bill for the help. I am enclosing these pictures that I took with a 12MP camera. I hope they will be helping other people. The main board surely has a lot of surface mount fuses. I checked them all. All ok.
I've identified a number of components to be checked. There are two fuses in the lower left corner; I'm pretty sure both are good, but it wouldn't hurt to check.
Just above the fuses I've identified two, possibly three bucking regulators. The caps in that area are critical. I would expect voltages like 3.3 volts and 2.5 volts out of these. That is best checked across the caps.
Further up the board is the Class D audio amp (which I haven't labeled). Just to the right of that are what I suspect are two LDO regulators. These can be checked by measuring the voltages on all three pins (the tab is electrically connected to the center pin, and is the output). Use a mounting screw for ground.
Of course, the Broadcom chip is the main processor and handles most of the video functions, I believe. To the right of that are two more LDO regulators. Again, use a mounting screw for ground and check the voltages on all pins.
Lastly, there are three chips that I suspect might be regulators. Two are above the Broadcom chip, one is in the upper right corner. I've identified them with ??. If lettering can be distinguished, what are the part numbers?

Re: Vizio E-320VL Turns on stuck with Vizio logo picture
Thanks Bill for your research. Here are locations and part numbers on components:
U708: M301-973-120
U710: M301-973-120
Q709: NiKos P2003EVG VNB5M0B06
U709: M323G5657A
U707: M323G5657A
U704: M327-1117-18
U706: LD33C941
U608: 17809
U103: M281G9084
U410: 69282
U705: 9141K
U408: 50K13
I hope this will help us all. I will check voltages, but I need to replace the heat sinks before I do so. And apply new heat sink compound onto the top of components needing it. I will be happy to take more pictures of the main board.

Take some pictures and include them in your first post of the new thread, it will save time because you will be asked for them anyway.
