    Vizio sv420m black screen

    All I get is a black screen when plugged in and power on. Power board is DPS-260JP. Board doesn't seem to have any burnt parts or bulging caps. Something I noticed was that when I wiggle the wider plug around, the back light would flash for split seconds. I would slowly move the plug around stop as soon as the back light comes on. The back light would then stay on. I notice this blue LED lights up for couple seconds then it fades away and the back light turns off. Any suggestions.

    Once you get the b/l on does it then stay on and the TV runs fine?

      No. Once I get b/l to stay on, I see a blue LED on the board that is lit up. It will light up for like 5 sec and then fade away. After it fades off, the b/l goes out.

        was there ever a fix found for this issue?

          I sure sounds like soldering, plug/cable or other intermittent connection issues were the trouble here.

            If you have sound then problem is usually the backlight inverter, replace.

              Re: Vizio sv420m black screen

              I asked before about this set beacause there was one on CL that I was negotiating on. I finally picked it up today.

              Here is the issue:

              Not turning on at all. - Sounds easy enough

              Front Vizio symbol is amber and does not change with power button.

              Caps are visually ok and no burnt components on the board. I see a smaller red rectangular fuse on the power board. I have to take the board out to check this one but for now here is the rest of my checks.

              117VAC across main fuse - OK
              5VSB from power board to mainboard - OK
              Two fuses on mainboard checked - OK
              PS-on = 0.017 VDC before, during, and after power button is pressed.

              It's been a while for me, it's gonna be fun getting back into this.

                Has it got the infamous U33?

                  It's layout is different than the usual vizio vw42L or vo42L. The power board holds the inverter and there is a mainboard and Tconn. It has some LDO regs on it. Two have 5v inputs and 3.3vdc on one, 3v on the other. There is a third one that doesnt have any voltage to it. I'm thinking that this one needs power from once it's turned on.

                  I have to take some pictures right now and I'll post it.

                    Re: Vizio sv420m black screen

                    I took some readings off of the regulators.

                    U2 = 3.3 out - 5 in
                    U3 = 3.26 out - 5 in
                    U4 = 1.25 out - 3.3 in
                    U5 = 3.3 out - 5 in
                    U6 = 0 out - 0 in
                    U7 = 3.3 out - 5 in


                    If remembering correctly, that ps-on should have something right? Not zero volts.

                      I find it a lot safer if you just do a simple resistance test on the main fuse versus measuring up to 120V AC (or 240V AC in other countries). Both achieve the same result.

                        Something is obviously wrong with U6. U6 looks like an adjustable regulator (as shown in picture). That means the outpin pin should be adj + 1.25V. In this case, if adj pin is 0.0V, then output should be 0.0 + 1.25 or 1.25V.

                        PS_ON is generated by the main board to tell the power supply to turn "on". It is usually 3V or higher.

                        PS. I can't believe how many Vizios are failing because of bad voltage regulators.

                          1) BTW, when I post instructions for people, I always ask for the measurement of all 3 pins and the part numbers. Getting the measurements of all the pins is important if it is an adjustable voltage regulator. Getting the part number is important so we know what the expected output voltage should be.

                          For example,

                          U100
                          AS1117-33
                          pin 1 = 0.0
                          pin 2 = 3.3
                          pin 3 = 5.0

                          2) After looking at your results again, U3 is suspect too. If it is a fixed 3.3V output regulator, it is barely within spec assuming a +/- 1%.

                          3.3 x 0.99 = 3.267V
                          3.3 x 1.01 = 3.333V

                          3) If U3 is an ajustable regulator and the adj pin is 2.00V, then 2.00 + 1.25 = 3.25V.

                            Also, a very slightly low reading is sometimes indicative of an oscillating regulator. If you have a scope, check the Vout pin.

                                  Here are more of the readings:

                                  U2 (1117) IN 5.2 OUT 3.3 ADJ 2.07
                                  U4 (1117) IN 3.26 OUT 1.25 ADJ 0
                                  U6 (1117) IN 0 OUT 0 ADJ 0
                                  U7 (1117) IN 5.18 OUT 3.25 ADJ 2.01

                                  U3 and U5 are a different type of regulators marked (L471 G1084)

                                  U3 = IN 3.16 OUT 1.24 GND
                                  U5 = IN 3.14 OUT 1.25 GND

                                  5VSB = 5.22 from power board
                                  12V = 0 from power board

                                  I'm thinking that the 12V isnt present until the unit is on - out of standby.
                                  I dont know if that is the same thing with U6's voltages.

                                  I'm just not sure.

                                    On the service manual troubleshooting flow chart, they say to check pin 2 of U6 for 8VDC however the 12V to this board is not active until the unit comes out of standby. Then, I'd think, the 12V gets regulated down to 8V.

                                      I'm thinking about pulling U6 for the hell of it, just to see what will be on the input pad when it's off the board. If there is no input voltage, U6 is not to blame - not yet at least. If U6 is shorted and grounding out it's input voltage then there should be the correct input voltage there on the input pin. That is... again....if this voltage is supposed to be present in standby.

                                        No need to desolder U6, just test for shorts on all 3 pin combinations in circuit.

                                        Does 12V come up if the power board is disconnected from the main board?
