    Vizio VW42L Problem or No Problem??

    I initially had tv picture rapidly flashing as though refresh rate had been reduced. Everything else was working. Turned set off, then on, after very short time trouble repeated. AMBER logo when off. Searched forums for clues. Replaced c421 on power board, a 470mf electrolytic. Did not find any other caps that were bulged so did not inspect any other boards for damage. Turned set on and it worked great with Logo operating normally. Set failed after 18 hours with same raster flashing. The cap I had replaced was bulging and 3 of the 4 470mf caps on the master and slave boards were also bulging so I replaced all four of them and the one on the power board that I had replaced before. The set has been turned successfully on and off several times since these last repairs with only one anomally. The Logo is is NOT Amber in the off mode. Yet the remote and side buttons operate normally. Can someone please help me resolve why the lack of amber? As of yet I have not removed and inspected the main board caps. Is there somthing I should be looking at on it which will give me the same symptoms. My logical conclusion is that the amber led is defective since the remote and side puchbuttons are performing as though the set standby power appears to be there for power to be turned on.

    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

    Thinkpad X1 Carbon "LMQ-1MB 12298-2 48.4LY26.021" VCC3M problem
    by Zeonalbasta
    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...
