I recently was given a Vizio P42HDTV10A from a friend. When i opened the back I checked the power board and the caps were bad. I went to replace the caps and the bottom of the board was burnt were the caps are soldered. I replaced the board with another. The standby light is orange, but nothing happens when the power is pressed. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Re: Vizio standby light but will not power on
These Vizios seem to have a problem with a certain voltage regulator, U33, failing, causing the symptoms you describe. One symptom is the TV will turn on, the light will turn white, the backlight will light up but then no picture - does your set have this problem?
You'll need to post some clear photos of the boards, in particular the main board.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Vizio standby light but will not power on
My error. I had thought you might have an LCD on your hands, but it's a plasma. I don't think U33 fails on these models but I could be wrong.
Do you have a multimeter?Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Vizio standby light but will not power on
Thanks for those pictures; clear and focused.
I've highlighted some points, they have a letter next to them which I will refer to.
A: Unplug TV and wait until standby light goes out. Use the diode test on your multimeter to check this device. Set the meter to the position which looks like a diode (sort of like this: ->|-). Place the red lead on one terminal and black on the other; report back the reading. Then, reverse the leads, and report back the reading. One way, you should get 150 - 750; the other way you should get no reading (a single lefthand 1 or "OL" is common.)
B: Report back the part number for this device; I can't tell if it's a regulator. Also, looks like Vizio skimped out on bolting this device down properly which makes it vulnerable to movement. E.g. if the owner moved home with the TV it could have dislodged a solder joint. This will be visible upon inspection with a loupe or a magnifying glass but no need to check it for now as it's a less likely fault than others.
C: This is an SMD fuse. Turn on your multimeter and set it to the 200 ohms range. Touch the two probes together and note the reading (it should be in the neighbourhood of 1-2 ohms.) Then, while the set is off, place the red probe on one end and the black probe on the other end (it doesn't matter which way around.) You should measure a few ohms; note this reading down, then subtract your probes together reading, it should be less than 1 ohm.
D: Have the TV switched on in the fault condition (i.e. stuck in standby.) Connect the negative probe of your multimeter to an exposed part of the metal case, such as a screw hole. Touch the probe carefully on each pin and note the readings down. (By the way, this is an LDO / voltage regulator. They sometimes go bad.) Then, record the part number on the device - it will be something like AP1117-33. The last two digits are significant; they indicate the output voltage (in this case, 3.3V.)
E: (second pic) Another LDO, test as above.
F: (second pic) Another LDO, test as above.Attached FilesLast edited by tom66; 12-30-2011, 08:26 PM.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

B = F43 KA7809
C = 0.000 (has auto range)
D = 0.000 at all contacts there is not a part #

Re: Vizio standby light but will not power on
There is power going to into the sub power board (121v) and the main power board (121v), however there is none to the power button nor on the main board. So c, d, e, and f should be reading 0V.Comment

Re: Vizio standby light but will not power on
Which cable? There are two that are circled. You have a black & white twisted cable going from the power supply to ??? On the other TV it is reddish (pink?) wires in a black sheath going to a connector on the end of the main board.

Re: Vizio standby light but will not power on
Hi From the schematic it looks like this cable goes from CN01 on the power board to J9 on the main board.? Does your board have these sockets marked
as CN01 and J9. - It looks like it is a power cable and perhaps the socket J9 will show voltages on the back of the board?.
You do however have a cable from CN01 (Twisted Black&White ) where does it go to?
Are you sure this is the same set? not another model?
UPDATE: Cableing may be a red herring see "Vizio P42HD and P42hdtv10a interchangeable parts?" it has a pic of P42hdtv10a looks same as yours - no cable.
There is also a current thread on the go regarding the same set/model and I have asked them to post
pics of their cable/sockets. "42 inch Vizio Plasma Pop No Picture"Attached FilesPlease upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: Vizio standby light but will not power on
Curious since I am having the same problem. Were both, the main board and logic control boards needed or just one? I am finding these boards difficult to find. I may have to troubleshoot to the component level.Comment

I have a Vizio E550i-A0 that will not power on. It also does not display the standby light in the corner. I disconnected the main board cable to see if the backlights would light but they did not (maybe this is normal for this set?). I checked the voltages on the plug and they all read in mV or 0, so there's no voltage there. The fuses are ok, and the voltages of the 450v caps read about 160v. I see no visual damage on either the power supply or main board. I have read online that the main board is usually the culprit in this model, but not getting backlights with the main disconnected makes me... -
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to troubleshoot and repair this old LG OLED curved TV, model 55EG910V.
I did some basic troubleshooting and reviewed most related posts here, but I wasn't able to isolate the issue.
The TV shut itself off during playback and never came back to life - the standby light remains off. My dad claims that it has happened a few times in the past but the issue resolved itself after some time. Not this one.
After checking the basics I did the following:- I measured all voltages and as expected the only active supply is the 3.5V standby. It

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?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.

Hey All,
I have a Sony 65x900f that I purchased cheap because of a no-power issue.
I assumed that because there is no standby light visible, it would be an easy fix - however upon opening up of the unit I can confirm that the 3v3 standby voltage is making it's way from the power supply to the main board. I'm a little confused as to why there is no standby light.
I am firstly wondering if anyone has this model of TV, or has worked on one and can give me some insight. I have tried to find a service manual for this model, to no avail - and would really appreciate... -
No standby red light, nothing
This Sony has a separate AC->DC power adapter supplying 19.5V to the TV power board (JK3)
Disconnected JK3 power board from main board, checked voltages on all the pin outs
At a few pins I can see the power supply providing 19.5V to the main board
Based on the service manual triage.. it seems to be pointing towards the power board (JK3) being the most possible culprit
LED light turns on when I disconnect LED driver board ribbon from mainboard (so i thought it is the mainboard,...
