    Troubleshooting GV42L HDTV Main Board #3642-0032-0150(3B)

    Hey Gang,
    newbie here with decent electronics base. Just to let you guys know that you are super...great forum here. Ok, I have done some reading regarding "no picture, no sound" condition with the vizio GV42L and concluded without doing any testing that I would replace the regulators as needed. So, I went ahead and purchased both fixed and adjustable regulators...now, here is my concern...most of the information I've read have shown U33, U7, U8, and U9 to be of fault 97% of the times with the aforementioned symptoms, but on my board show U33 to be 16 pin chip (P15C/32570E/Z0644), however, there is DU2 sitting in close proximity with SOT-223 case next to U33. What I would like to know is, what are the relevant numbers for my board?

      Do you have a digital multimeter? You can test the regulators using one, then you will know which need to be replaced.

      Vizio seem to have used several different boards with these models, so the faulty regulator could have a different reference.

          on a 47" one I had only a suface mount fuse blown on the main board, I think it was F1. Did you try those if they are good?

              Tom66, yes I do have multi-meter...but I was trying to avoid doing the preliminary test of the regulators due to the limited space I have where I have the tv laid out. I have taken out the main board and have it on my computer desk as I type away at the keyboard...tibimakai, I check fuse initially and it tested good. I dont mind using the shotgun approach ...by this I mean, replacing the relevant regulators...anyone out there with similar (3B) Board that can help me id the relevant Regulators for this board? Thanks guys.

                              Just repaired a gv42l with 3642-0032-0150(3B) main board. I had no back light, it would power on but not off. There was 24 volts to the inverters but no back light. The mosfets on the inverter boards were grounded so there was no voltage out. Downloaded the service manual from http://elektrotanya.com/?q=showresult and went to the main board DCto DC trouble shooting guide. All voltages were good except U-5 Which had only 1.2 volts out instead of 1.8. I replaced it with another ACM1117a and I had a backlight.

                                      Digi-Key is a good source. Type the part number in to find the part.

                                          Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

                                          Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:

                                          Issue: No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

                                          Short answer: replace main board and power board
                                          Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.

                                          Long answer:

                                          TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge....

                                          Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
                                          by cheeky2
                                          I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                                          Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...

                                          This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

                                          I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...

                                          Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
                                          by Asraf Atb
                                          Hi everyone,

                                          Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

                                          Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

                                          I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....
