    Vizio 42" LCD VW42LHDTV10A Will Not Turn On

    The Standby Vizio Light is on but the TV will not turn on, I have checked voltages on the power supply board pin connectors and only have the 5v Standby Voltage, When holding down the power on button I have checked Pin 1 which is the PSON and the 3.3 volts is Not present, so the Power Supply will not turn on, which means the 12v and 24v are also not present. I have checked both small fuses on the Main Board and they are both good. Now I need to know the next step in troubleshooting, I read about the dummy load test for the PS Board but I don't think that will work without the 3.3v at PSON. Any help is appreciated.

      That was helpful and interesting and could possibly lead in the right direction, although my problem is different than what he had going on, I need to find out where the 3.3 v for PSON is supplied from and why I don't have it. Thanks!

        I know that bad LDOs cause lots of problems for Vizios - sometimes powering on with lines on screen, with backlight or not at all (sometimes logo changes colour, other times not.) So it would be worth checking anyway as Vizio are plagued with regulator problems.

          I have a Vizio model vo320e 32inch TV which has no picture, or sound and has a black screen . The Vizio name logo is orange in stand by and white when turned on . The only side button that will respond is the on/off button. When turned on there is a blue lite coming from each board. The blue lite on the power supply/inverter back lite board stays lite longer (several seconds) before going out. The blue lite coming from the main board goes out much quicker. I have taken voltage reading at the wire harness plug connectors where the power supply board connect to the main board. The reading at the three 5volt pins and three 12volt pins were good. At the pin marked on/off I get a voltage reading of .1 volts in the off position and 2.87 volts is the on position. I have also have taken voltage reading at the large capacitor which lays on it side on the power supply/ inverter board. I got 167 volts turned off and 390 volts turned on. A visual look at the boards through a magnify glass shows no signs of bulging caps or signs of any over heated components. When talking with Vizio they said I would need a new LCD screen with back lite. Do you think I am getting a right answer ? I hate the thought of throwing the TV out if it was something less expensive to repair. Thank you Don

            Re: Vizio 42" LCD VW42LHDTV10A Will Not Turn On

            I checked voltages on some LDO's although the set will not power on, On the Mainboard U33, U8, and U2 all have normal input output voltages but U7 and U9 have 3.3 v input but zero v output on one and only .01v output on the other. does anyone know if all these regulators should have normal working voltages with tv plugged in and the power off?
            Thanks!

                    So the voltage on the rightmost pin is 3.3V?

                      Yes, The rightmost pin is 3.3v, middle pin is 2.01v, left pin is 0v and larger pin is 2.01v that's on U9

                      0n U7 rightmost pin is 3.3v, middle pin is .8v, left pin is .01 v and larger pin is also.8 v

                        It is very unusual for both regulators to fail so there might be another fault.

                        Do they get hot at all after 5-10 mins in the not turning on mode? Just lightly touch them with your finger and if it is hot enough to be painful, there is a problem. If they're just warm, probably OK.

                        Then turn the set off and test the resistance across the middle pin to the chassis of the TV. You should read a few hundred ohms, maybe more.

                          The output pin is the middle pin.
                          "0n U7 (AMC1117 F0722F) rightmost pin is 3.3v, middle pin is .8v, left pin is .01 v and larger pin is also.8 v"
                          This one does not look right. Check the resistance reading between middle pin an ground.

                          U9 is K1117S15 726 looks like a 1.5V regulator, so middle pin is at 2V. Does not look right.
                          I will look up the spec.

                            Set unplugged, U7 middle pin to chassis ground is 97.3 ohms and U9 middle pin to chassis ground is 337 ohms. touched both regulators lightly after set plugged in 5-10 minutes they are both cool.

                              OK from looking at the picture, U9 has a resistor between Left pin (Ground pin) and circuit ground to raise the output voltage from 1.5V to 2V.
                              U7 has resistor betwenn the ADJ pin and circuit ground and another resistor between ADJ pin and the output pin. Can you tell me the value as printed on those two resistors, I cannot see them clearly due to the dark shadow. They look like R50, R51. I need to know the value an which one is connected to the left pin and the circuit ground.

                                I don't think they have a value printed. They are 0402 size and only 0603 upwards are printed.

                                  If not, he will just have to measure them so Ican calculate the output voltage.
                                  "0n U7 rightmost pin is 3.3v, middle pin is .8v, left pin is .01 v and larger pin is also.8 v"
                                  Base on this reading, it does not look good since minimum out put will be 1.25V. U7 is an adjustable 1117 LDO, you canot have output less than the ref voltage.

                                    U7 has resistor betwenn the ADJ pin and circuit ground and another resistor between ADJ pin and the output pin. Can you tell me the value as printed on those two resistors, I cannot see them clearly due to the dark shadow. They look like R50, R51. I need to know the value an which one is connected to the left pin and the circuit ground.
                                    Sorry but there is nothing printed on those very small resistors.

                                      That is OK, at this point I think it is pretty safe to say that U7 is bad since the output voltage cannot not be less than 1.25V.

                                        as measured in circuit R50=95 Ohms and R51=2.3 Ohms, I can't tell which one goes to the left pin but could be R50, I'm not sure.

                                          VIZIO M65-C1 Does Not Turn On
                                          by Mulp
                                          Hi All,

                                          I am having an issue with my Vizio M65-C1 where it does not turn on. When I plug it in the stand by light on bottom left of screen turns on (white) then fades away. If I press the power button it turn back on and then fades until it is super dim.

                                          When I remove cover, there are no illuminated leds on the main board, I've seen others with a red/blue led that turns on.

                                          I've done some research and what is interesting is my voltages all seem slightly different from other people. For example +5/3.5v is 3.48V when on which is different from others on here....

                                          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.

                                          Assuming...

                                          Vizio V705-H3 Won't power up
                                          by EazyBone
                                          This TV has the white light on the front. When you click the power button or hit the remote nothing happens the lights stays solid. I checked the main board for the voltage for that signal and everything is fine.

                                          The power supply is giving 13 volts and 2.7 on AC detection. Zero on PSOn and nothing changes when hitting power. The led lines show zero and those caps won't turn on
                                          ​​​​​​ it seems the PSU won't turn on to supply voltage to LEDs. The main caps sit at 170v.

                                          It's odd to me the led lines go from PSU to main board and THEN to LEDs.. as a note....

                                          Hello, i have some issues with my laptop Lenovo Y700-17ISK (motherboard BY511 NM-A541), it started when i turn on the laptop, but the lcd wont turn on, i then connected it via hdmi to tv and screen was ok. So i thought maybe lcd stripe is faulty, i removed the bottom cover, disconnected main battery, reset the cmos by disconnecting battery for 1 min, then slighty move the lcd stripe. Conncted power supply and tuned on my laptop, the lcd turn on, it started to load os, then it turn off, after a second it turn on, then after like 3 seconds turn off again, and so on. Removed power supply, waited...

                                          To all the members here...

                                          Let me tell you a little bit about what happened to my laptop (MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX model: MS-16R6) that “maybe” you know how to solve this problem.

                                          So before this problem happened, my laptop was running smoothly. When I wanted to restart my laptop, it looked fine at first. But after I waited for this restart process to take a long time, until finally I panicked (because the restart process did not finish plus the laptop screen only showed a black screen), I immediately pressed and held the power button to force the laptop to turn off. But...
