        1) On the main board, are fuses F1 and F2 good?

        2) You mentioned that all the voltage regulators tested good in post #1. I'm assuming you meant all the voltage regulators on the main board like the infamous U33 and U7?

            3) What is part number U32 on the main board?

            4) I forgot to award you one retiredcaps' bonus point for a picture of your Greenlee multimeter. I can't quite make out the model number, but I know I have seen pictures of it before.

                Yes sir U33 was 3.3V exactly , U7 was 1.27V and U9 was 1.53V. Also I checked F1 and F2. Both were 00.2 ohms and seemed fine.

                        Service manual is at



                        It does have a troubleshooting section. Maybe verify you did all the steps?

                            Thank you so much for your time I do have the manual already. I am just not sure how the flow chart works when it says how is the inverter?...Um it doesn't work..lol. But it doesnt give you a next step after that. Well thank you for all the help anyway.

                                Focus on page 9-5. Test everything on that page inside the rectangular box. Report your findings for each box.

                                    I have more suggestion. Disconnect the LVDS cable from the main board. Now measure the DC voltage of LVDS pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the main board with respect to ground. Do you get voltage on any of them?

                                            Another suggestion. Please retest all the voltage regulators on the main board and list the pcb designation, part number, and readings for each pin like so

                                            U33
                                            AL1117-33
                                            pin 1 = 0.0
                                            pin 2 = 3.3
                                            pin 3 = 5.0

                                            Maybe we can spot something you missed?

                                                Ok so real quick I am still testing regulators, but the Voltage reading for the LVDS cable pinouts were...pin1=0V, Pin2=0V, pin3=2.4V and pin4=3.3V

                                                        1) Are you sure about the part numbers for U9 and U2? In the picture, it looks like U9 is K1117S15? The 15 at the end indicates it is a fixed regulator outputting 1.5V which would make U9 a good regulator.

                                                        Please re-check all your part numbers and make sure it is not a cut&paste error.

                                                        2) U2 is an adjustable voltage regulator and it is bad. Pin 2 should be pin 1 + 1.25V or 1.45 + 1.25 = 2.70V. At 2.30, it is way too low.

                                                            Yes those are the part numbers. The U9 that I mentioned earlier is on the TCON board. This U9 is on the main control board in the second set of pictures. It is confusing that there is 2 U9's.

                                                                        By the way, on page 9-5 on the service manual, it suggests that U2 should be 3.3V output.

                                                                        So pin 1 should be roughly 2.05V. Pin 1 + 1.25 = 3.30 for pin 2. So it is possible that the components feeding pin 1 are low or U2 itself is bad.

                                                                                Precision matters here. It is K1117S15. The S15 matters because it tells us the correct output voltage (1.5V). K1117 by itself suggests an adjustable regulator. So if pin 1 is 0 and pin 2 is 1.50, that means it is a bad regulator.

                                                                                    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.

                                                                                    The TV set was powering on, just no image. After verification, nothing wrong on the YSus or ZSus boards. Nothing wrong on the main board either.

                                                                                    But I noticed that the LED was not flashing on the Logic Control Board. This is an EBR63450301. The LED is supposed to flash even with all the flat cables disconnected, with only the power cable attached.

                                                                                    All the voltages measured at the electrolytic capacitors on the board were good. From top left to bottom right:

                                                                                    Where is the short?

Exact same behavior on 2 different model 4K Vizio TVs running their SmartCast smarttv software. After launching youtube app, press vizio button on remote to return to the smarttv menu, once in awhile, a column of bad pixels will show for few seconds on the left hand side.



                                                                                    It seems the vizio software is reinitializing hardware when returning to the smarttv menu. In general, SmartCast software isn't very good. Also will randomly (relatively infrequent) get no network connection when on wifi and require reboot....
