    Re: Vizio sv420m black screen

    Someone on these forums had a similar issue with a shorted cap on the T-con pulling down 12V.

      Does 12V come up if the power board is disconnected from the main board?
      No. No 12V at all when disconnected from main board.

        Did you see if U6 is shorted "in circuit"?

          I checked resistances, there is no real difference than the others.

          What is the usual way that the PS_ON voltage gets conditioned? Is that made from the main 5v? Is it fed from a processor on the mainboard?

            I dont know where to go from here. The worse thing is I think the problem is with the main board but I'm not sure enough to order one.

              Try powering it up without the T-con connected.

                Tried it and still no PS_ON voltage. No change of Vizio light in front.

                  Is 12V present on the power board without the t-con connected?

                    No 12V either with the Tconn disconnected. That is, if that is supposed to be present with an amber vizio light.

                    On page 24 of the service manual, it shows that this voltage isnt present until the unit is turned on.

                      Any more things to try? It's hard for me to order a board at this point cause I still dont know which one is bad. If you have a clue, let me know which one I should order and why.

                          I was working like crazy so I put this one to the side for a little bit.

                          I read somewhere that you can jumper the 5V to the PS-ON to get the power board to show the other voltages. Does this sound like a smart move???

                            I never updated my situation on this TV. I purchased a replacement mainboard ($30) and it fixed my problem. I didn't take any readings on the new board, I just popped it in and it worked.

                            I currently have one more TV on the bench that I am working on and I think that will be the end for me with TV's. These two, 42 Vizio LCD and 32 insignia LCD, are going to be mounted in my basement and 2nd bedroom. This would be four total that I kept from repair work. The other two are 42 Samsung Plasma and a 32 Memorex LCD.

                              $30 for a mainboard would be nice, where did you get one for that price? I have same model tv but trying to repair the mainboard.

                                That was ebay. Sometimes you get lucky and see that someone is selling one cheap. That TV still works. I gave it to my mom.

                                  I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

                                  On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

                                  I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

                                  I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

                                  I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

I am really passionate about learning new skills and repairing/crafting stuff. I came around this forum last week with the goal of repairing my faulty gaming laptop, indeed, I was video editing on it when suddenly a black screen popped and never disappeared I bought some stuff to try to repair it and learn as many things as possible about computer repairs but nothing worked so far. When the black screen appeared, my legion 5 pro was connected to my external monitor...

                                  Hi everyone,
                                  I have this strange behaviour with Acer Aspire E5-574-52RH, i5 6200U, intel graphics, DA0ZRWMB6G0 Rev G, model ZRW.
                                  Laptop came in for a SSD upgrade, took everything apart to install the SSD.
                                  Everything started after modifying BIOS settings to boot UEFI instead of Legacy.
                                  Laptop works fine, i installed windows 10 and drivers/updates, everything works ok(when it works)
                                  The black screen problem is random, maybe 5 out 10 times, laptop remains with the black screen, no image

                                  Symptoms are:
                                  - random black screen after displaying Acer logo...

                                  So our beloved M60-C3 up and died the other day. I was not there, my wife mentioned that it came on, displayed the logo, then showed the right half of the screen white and fuzzy, with the left half of the screen ok. However when I got around to looking at it, the screen would not come on at all. The indicator LED will come on, then dim a bit. After a while, the LED might blink a bunch of times. I can't get it to be consistent to do that.

                                  So I've got the back off and am checking voltages. The capacitors on the power supply board visually check out. No bulges or anything. They all show...
