    Troubleshooting Vizio VA370M with bad main board.

    I have a Vizio VA370M which will not power on. When I hit the power button the vizio logo changes from amber to white but nothing else happens. I've already diagnosed this as a bad main board. My boards model number is CBPF9D1KZ5. I tried a CBPF9D1KZ7 board in it and the lcd powered on but had interlacing issues. I had read that some other vizios had issues with bad regultors so I've measured the two regulators I can find on the front of the board and attached a picture. There is one other voltage regulator on the back of the board which I have not checked yet. Any help is appreciated.

    The top regulator has the following markings: L161 903T63
    I was able to find a datasheet for it and it seems to be working properly.

    The bottom regulator has the following markings: 17809 96 59
    I was unable to verify if it is functioning properly.

    Thanks

      The above is a 7800 series regulator. More specifically a 7809 with 9 designating the output voltage.

          "When I hit the power button the vizio logo changes from amber to white but nothing else happens" Is this the symptom of the original board?

              Yes it is.

                  I know this is an old thread but if anyone else has this problem it is the processor on the mainboard that has cold solder joints. just did a reflow on one here for the heck of it. was just going to throw it out if it didn't work. voila working.
                  yay. saved it from the landfill for now anyways.

                          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...

                          Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
                          by jb_Bak
                          Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

                          Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:

                          (SOLVED) - ONN 100012588 No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

                          Issue: No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

                          Short answer: replace main board and power board
                          Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.

                          Long answer:

                          TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge....

                          Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
                          by cheeky2
                          I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                          Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...

                          Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
                          by advant
                          This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

                          I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...
