Re: Vizio VX32L no 12v
One page 9 of the datasheet, there is a typical applicaton circuit. There is a resistor connected to pin 1. If it is a low ohm resistor, it could explain the low reading.
In addition, in circuit measurements are not always 100% reliable due to other components in parallel.
If the IC is shorted, I normally measure the resistance between VCC and GND. That is, pin 5 and pin 3 for your IC.
If it is not shorted, then I measure the DC voltage on VCC wrt to IC GND. According to the datasheet (page 5), it should be 14.3V for the IC to start properly.
I also measure the DC voltage across the cap that is tied to VCC to make sure it is around 14.3V.
So try all the above first.
