    vizio vx42l mystery

    Hello all,

    First of all, as a new member of this forum, I would greatly appreciate your patience and understanding, as I am not as experienced as you all, regarding these issues. With that said, lets begin. Initially my vizio ceased operation with only the amber light on, and not coming out of standby. After reading some forums regarding similar incidents to mine. I replaced the power board. Same results. Then I took out the main board and had the u33 replaced as advised in many of the forums seen here. After re-assembly, (with back cover off) I tried to power up. Nothing. Then I remembered the reset button on the main board. Tried that, then set powered up and was running as normal. After a few hours of sleep, powered down, then tried to power up again with remote, stuck in standby again. Took off back cover yet again, pushed reset button, and its back up again. Only now, it doesn't respond to remote commands and vizio light is out completely.

    Some things to know:
    both inverter boards and lcd display have already been replaced
    vizio light display already replaced
    power supply also replaced...

    Quite a mystery, any and all help will be appreciated!!

      Vizio M65-C1
      by mrtek
      Hi.

      picked up another TV. This time is a Vizio M65-C1. TV does not turn on. I had repaired another 60 inch vizio , Bad main board.
      When power button is pressed, the Power led indicator on the bottom right, turns for a few seconds and then it fades away. No backlight or Vizio logo on screen. Removed back cover and repeated test.
      This is the TV This TV is a little different from the Samsung I have worked on. Power supply is on the Left side, Main Bd is on the right side, T-CON , not in the picture is on the bottom. I am assuming that the boards in the middle are the LED...

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      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 M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel
      by howardc64
      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....
