I had a friend bring me a vp422hdtv10a a couple of weeks ago.. He had already bought and intalled a new power board and it didnt fix it as he was lead to believe by reading around on the net.. Well I dinked around unplugging z and y boards and decided it was the y board... So I ordered a Y sustain and buffer board.. I installed them and now I could at least get it to come out of stand by and the white vizio icon would light up, but not picture still ... But I was hearing a dull noise coming from the new buffer.. So I pulled the new buffer off and stuck the old one back on and BOOM its working.. so it looks like the new buffer is DOA.. So I have been seeing people saying that you should replace the buffer and sustain when doing replacements. My question is, am I risking doing damage to the Sustain board if I run it with the old buffer?

Anyone? -
Re: Quick Vizio Plasma question
If i was doing this repair I would replace both buffer boards with new onesRon Driver,BSEE,CET,ISCET,NESDAComment

Re: Quick Vizio Plasma question
It could have been a loose connection or a cold solder joint on one of the boards.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Hi all,
I'm interested in understanding how a buffer board chip is working. I know there's about 90 outputs per chip to the plasma panel, but I'm more interested to know about the input pins. I guess that some of them are address pins, but I want to know more.
So far I've found nothing at all. I haven't found any datasheet about the various buffer chips, and I haven't found any schematic for the buffer board using them (Y Buffer Board in Samsung's terminology).
Any information will make me happy. It can be from any buffer chip or plasma TV manufacturer.... -
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.

Problem
This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached.... -

Failure Symptom
No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.
Where is the short?
Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.
Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...
