    Re: vizio 42" lcd power board issue

    You have 5v but no light on the front?
    That is not normaly a good sign.

    When pressing the power button, check the unknown pins for 3.3v that will be the PS on signal. time consuming, but no manual to go with.

      Re: vizio 42" lcd power board issue

      ok, been busy and moved and wife had a stay in hospital. now we need a tv to watch so I am back to this visio. I did some checking again and found the service manual for the vizio and it has a troubleshooting section mentioning checking the voltage at f2...finally found where it was located and, much to my surprise (yeah, sure) the f2 surface mount fuse was blown. it has 5.1 volts on one side, but ziltch on the other. Plus a continuity check showed the fuse blown anyway. now, will that stop the vizio light from coming on,,,and,,,stop the furthering of power turning on for the rest of the tv? I am hoping to check radio shack tomorrow to see if they have surface mount fuses to replace this one with. Any other feedback on what I need to do?

        radio shack does not have surface mount fuses...can I use anything else...I can't read the info on the fuse either...too small for these old eyes.

          Re: vizio 42" lcd power board issue

          I have 2 tvs, need to get one fixed, hopefully I can get more help. here is where I stand with the vizio so far.
          I do have 5 vdc at the f2 on the main board, but that fuze is bad. I don't have money to replace it and tried to solder another one on but solder won't take to the fuse...grrr. wanted to solder a short wire to jumper the connection and see what happens. NOTE: I do not have the vizio light on front at all. any thoughts so far. help for a really poor diyer looking for any ideas to get this or my other tv, a dlp samsung. will post for it in another thread. thanks for anything.
          Jim

            Before you solder a fuse in place, measure the resistance from the dead voltage end of the fuse to ground (power OFF!) If it shows several kilo ohms, (assume fuse blew because of surge, not short on board), use a couple of alligator clip jumper wires connected to a replacement fuse. See if this jumpered arrangement changes symptoms. If your resistance measurements show a short, you'll have to find the shorted component on the board.

              well, I finally tested the fuse to ground and found it to be dead zero...I guess that is about as shorted as one can get. SO, if anyone wants the tv, make an offer and consider shipping and we will be glad to let you have it. I guess the main board is bad then. I'm just gonna get a ballast for my samsung dlp 3d capable tv instead of this one. thanks for the help all who responded anyway. I appreciate it.

                  Wait, don't give up yet. If it was my TV I would use alligator clip leads to jump in a 3 amp fuse, that fuse may have blown because of what was going on with your old power supply or while you or previous owner was testing something and the meter probe slipped, even though you measured 0 ohms to ground on one side of the fuse doesn't necessarily mean a short circuit caused the fuse to blow, you may be reading other components in the circuit. look at what this Vizio owner found and did. https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ain+board+fuse

                    I'm right at 250 miles from you, I wonder how much the shipping charges alone would be. anyone know how to find out? I guess you would have to go by size and weight.

                      or...meet half way. may be cheaper than shipping? let's see, it costs me about 30 round trip to Indy about 120 miles one way. whew! let me check at fed ex today for you.

                                Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                                by Tynan Dill
                                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.

                                Hi everyone,

                                I am trying to fix a samsung washinmachine power supply main board.
                                I already replaced it with another one to fix the machine but i want to try understand the issue with the old board.
                                Therefore i hope to be able to get some help to explain what to check in order to troubleshoot.
                                The power supply board reference is the following: DC41-00189a
                                I have followed one thread (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ingmachine-rel...

                                Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                                I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
                                Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

                                Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

                                by sam_sam_sam
                                I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                                This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

                                hi,
                                This TV sometimes shut off itself surely for some bad contact of power supply board that (for use and heat) wasn't planar anymore.

                                Found a same on ebay at an affordable price and compared part number and component side components was exactly the same I bought it.

                                The board is perfect and new and the random shut off problem disappeared but there is a dark side on the screen that isnt' present with the old board.
                                Take a look on the back of the newe power board I noticed that this one hasn't some components (4 resistors and 3 transistor) that made me...
