    Vizio model#VX42L hdtv10a_completely dead

    Hi guys, newbie here...
    Just want to say how i am blessed that i stumble to this site and found some good informations here after browsing around.

    I have this unit for over 3 years until that one night it gave up on me. Seems to me there are few units like mine won't last very long and i myself was dissapointed that i was suck up to this unit and paid almost $1000.00 but until i realized what was going on here and Never will buy vizio_ f_o_s_

    I have open the back panel and inspected the power board for any bad signs (ie, bad caps, resistor and doide, or burnt odor) but no avail.

    i have tested the DCVout (5, 12, 24)with my DMM with the cord plug in to power but getting a low reading.

    Just wandering if these sets of mosfet in the power board will go bad over time. I don't know how to check them.

    Any help will be appreciated and hoping i can revive this one.

      Please post some pictures. Use "Manage Attachments" on the post page.

      Indicate what voltages you are getting exactly and where.

      Is this power up mode or standby?

      What is the status of the indicator light on the front of the TV?

              Vizio E65-F0 really dead
              by Iain P
              Hi everybody!

              I've got a Vizio E65-F0 smart tv that is good and dead. It shows no signs of life when I press the power button on the back. The power LED in the lower right corner doesn't light, there is no backlight and no picture.

              So I took the back off and started poking around figuring one or more of the caps had dried out. My esr meter says all the caps on the power supply board and the mainboard are less than 1 ohm.

              I decided to check the voltages coming off the power supply they are as follows:

              connector CN201
              pin 1 (18vsb1)...

              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...

              Dead Vizio D40u-D1
              by catnapped
              Recently had my bedroom Vizio D40u-D1 apparently die while it wasn't being used. Noticed the power LED flashing, figuring maybe a software upgrade, but attempting to turn it on proved that wasn't the case. When powered on, the power LED will flash a bunch of times after about 2 minutes then turn off again. Definitely is no picture even with a flashlight on the screen. Had the opportunity to open it up over the weekend. Doesn't apper to be anything out of the ordinary visibly inside, nor any odd smells of escaped magic smoke. Readings from the connector in the corner of the power supply board...

              Vizio D50u-D1 Dead: PSU or Main Board?
              by fharris1977
              Hi. Anyone who has experience with these vizio sets, which pin on this connector is the standby, the 5V pin? Trying to rule out the PSU before ordering a mainboard. I'm getting 0 Volts on all pins on this connector. Trying to jump the standby and PS ON pins to see if the PSU is functioning. Thanks in advance.

              Vizio D50u-D1 Dead Set No Standby
              by fharris1977
              Hi. I got a Vizio with no power or standby, and won't turn on with remote or button. I checked the voltages on the connector and all read 0.00V or nearly 0(0.050 ON/OFF pin). None of the pins are labeled STB for standby although I do see some 5V pins. Other than the obvious standby led, which isn't coming on, is there a way to check for standby voltage on this PS. I'm trying to see if my problem is the PS or mainboard. Some Vizios I have fixed with no standby led me to think it was the PS but it turned out being the mainboard. Any experience with this set would be greatly appreciated.
