That was it everyone.Thank you so much for all of your help.Repairing this TV has been a very rewarding experience as all I have done in the past is simple board replacement stuff before.

My mom thanks you guys very much for your help,as do I.Its a 5 year old 720P vizio,but to my mom its her main source of entertainment.

I had my bass amp in my car crap out on me last week and found a few capacitors buldging,so when I get back to work tomorrow,Ill find the appropriate sub forum and post the pics and thaaaats next.

Oh I forget to tell you that Digikey now will ship USPS for $2.50 for small order.

THanks to all that helped!

From your picture, it looks like SOT-223-4.
So either one of these are OK.

If you look on the spec sheet it shows you pictures of the different form factors. This will help you filter through to the one you need.

They want company information .Gah.Im sure mouser or digikey has it,but theres so many form factors.

Not sure if this company is any good?

I glanced at ebay,but most listings are fixed voltage regulators

Have you taken a look on ebay?

SO were going with replacing U7?

Re: Vizio VX42LHDTV10A stuck in standby after going haywire.

That is correct about the same as the total resistance of the two resistors in series.

Re: Vizio VX42LHDTV10A stuck in standby after going haywire.

Out of curiosity can you see if the top tab of u33 is connected to pin 1 of u7. Use your multimeter to check. Without the tv on

280 ohms

Re: Vizio VX42LHDTV10A stuck in standby after going haywire.

My calculation came out as Jasgriff, 1.28v. I would change out the regulator, but did you Ohm out the Vout pin to ground to see if i has resistance a lot less than 100 Ohms?

Vout measures 98 ohms to ground

Pin one the way I listed or the way the datasheet listed?

Heres the best I can get. For that matter,it looks as if U8 is the only one that has a trace that leaves the output.Now Im really lost.
