    vizio vo42oe 42"lcd heat problem

    Ive searched all over the net and have learned some of the people on have the answsers. I have a 42" vizio that will power up and turn on, but after about 15 minutes of watching tv it goes black. Then it turns on and off and so on just like alot of others on here that seem to have the same problem. The tv doesnt make any popping noise, I have looked at both boards very closely and all the caps look fine no swelling or bulging. Someone on another site had said it was a heat sink problem, but that didnt seem to make any sense to me but then again I dont repair electronics for a living. So if any one has some input or the answer I would really appreciate the help! Thanks!

    When you say,"turns on and off and so on", Does that include the "Vizio" logo on the front of the tv changing colors? Also, could you attach a few good photos of the boards, as this would be the best way to get better responses?

      sounds like you need some new inverters

          I put the tv back together so i didnt have parts all over the dining room, i pluged it in and turned it on. Now its just the back light no picture or sound, could my first problem have cause the caps to go bad now?

            Not likely. Two likely causes - you forgot to hook up a cable somewhere - or there is a bad solder joint that was opening up when it got hot. Now it was jostled enough it is always open.

              I never took out the boards I just took the back cover off and the metal cover off of the video board. Does that change your answer at all Plain Bill

                Do you smell any electronic smells when it heats up? Here's something to try too if possible. Turn the brightness, contrast, or backlight, all down to about 50%. I've seen some sets where the heat comes from the inverter section driving the backlights hard.

                  I didnt smell anything, like the burned electronics smell. In the thread topic I said heat problem, it actually was more like when the tv finally warmed up it would turn off and on off and on. Then like I said earlier in the thread now its just back light no on and off just solid backlight.

                    I agree with PlainBill, I'm thinking a bad solder joint or a loose connection. It probably can be found on the main board.

                      So pull the main board and take a look for a bad solder joint, if I find one just re-solder it?

                        In short, yes.

                          There is a fuse right next the where the power cord plugs in, the fuse has a red line around it???

                            I think you are looking at the wrong board. I modified the power supply/inverter board photo you attached to show the fuse I think you are looking at. The main board is the one in which you removed the cover and what you called "video board". It is greenish in color. Take a look at this board for loose connections or bad solder joints.

                            Since you have a back light, this would imply that there is nothing wrong with the power supply providing power to the inverter section of that board. You can check the voltages going to the main board with a meter. On the power supply (yellowish board), the voltages are listed near the connector going to the main board. I hope this clears up some confusion.

                                I have looked at both bords and all the solder joints look fine to me, Im not sure what to do next. should i just look for new boards?

                                  Re: vizio vo42oe 42"lcd heat problem

                                  With all boards connected back together, does the "VIZIO" logo on the front light up when the unit is plugged in?

                                  If yes, that indicates that 5v standby voltage is good.

                                  If no, main fuse could be blown and/or 5v standby voltage is not getting to the main board. Check the labeled voltages on power supply. See attachment on where to check.

                                        When you press the power button or remote to turn on tv, does the "VIZIO" logo go from orange to white? Does it stay white?

                                          No Power problem with Vizio E60-E3
                                          by rajbot
                                          Hi all:

                                          I have a Vizio E60-E3 I am trying to troubleshoot a no power problem with. Thanks to the help on this board and elsewhere, I was pretty sure I had narrowed it to a power board problem. The board in question is a 09-60CAP0D0-00. Image attached for reference, but not of my board (tv is put away at the moment). FWIW, no obvious looking issues with the board.

                                          I measured voltage at power in and on the fuse and saw 120V, so power is getting to the board.

                                          On the pins out to the main board, I got no voltage at all on any of the pins. I assumed this...

                                          Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs
                                          by theone111
                                          I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.

                                          In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.
                                          1. Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
                                            Frequency: Happened about once a week.
                                            Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again.
                                          2. Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
                                            Frequency: Happened about once a week.
                                            Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve.
                                          3. Problem: TV shuts down
                                          ...

                                          i have a problem with thinkpad X1 carbon gen 2 "LMQ-1MB 12298-2 48.4LY26.021"
                                          The laptop was turned off because the MOSFET was not transmitting voltage. After checking it turned out that the gate pin on the MOSFET was the problem, because it was producing an inappropriate voltage. and it was discovered that the problem was with the Think engine, so I decided to reprint each pin, and finally the mosfet could work properly. However, there is another problem, even though the voltage has been supplied to the laptop, it still won't turn on, there isn't even an LED indicator. After double...

                                          Vizio M60-C3 Left Edge problem
                                          by Pinky Deepak
                                          I have a M60-C3 where the left edge has started showing issues as seen in the picture attached. Along with this, I also noticed some darkening on the left half of the screen which went away after I left the TV unplugged. i initially thought it was the led backlight that was wearing out but looks like something to do w the TCONN board. I searched this forum but couldn't find anyone else seeing this issue. most of them were LH/RH completely gone. any insights or guidance is appreciated.

                                          Here's a video of both the issues: https://youtu.be/hMqc760nB3o

                                          Hi. I have a problem that has been going on for some time (2-3 years). It's hard to explain what it really is. Sometimes, my computer stops playing music, stops videos (starts buffering on youtube), there is no sound in games and when I minimize the game window and return to the game there is a black screen with window borders...
