    Re: Vizio VX32L No picture, sound, or backlight

    Possibly not, if they have an additional part code like -33. The readings you are getting are indicative of faulty regulators and the main board may be dead now. This is why I rarely recommend harvesting parts because when you can order a new regulator for $3 from digikey or another supplier it just ain't worth the cost of replacing a main board. The only time I will harvest a part is when I can be certain there's no difference (like no such variants of it), or if I have a manufacturer-provided BOM, but I've never done it before.

      No other number, just 1117

      The main board number is 3632-0102-0150. I'll post a picture in a few minutes.

        And the one before that?

        (I'll post back in the morning. Bed time now.)

          I bow to your superior knowledge. You are exactly right. I just pulled the board to compare it to one my buddy has and realized that it isn't the same regulator. Not even close.

            Get a new main board then, it's all I can suggest.

              I'm just gonna toss this one. I can get a working tv, used for less than a new board.

                Shame, it could have been fixed... please at least advertise it on craigslist for $10 (with a note that it's been worked on before) so that someone can get it working.

                  The board is 150 bucks. I can't see many wanting to put that much into a hundred dollar tv.

                    It is possible to reverse the damage with care. But whatever, it's not like it's going to increase landfill by much.

                      If it's fixable, I'd like to try to fix it. I'll need help though. The garbage man won't take electrical trash so it would never make it to the landfill. I'm sure someone will take it if I set it out by the trash.

                        If it's truly beyond your skills, leave it to someone else.
                        Practice on a dead/spare motherboard, sound card, etc before the $150 main board.

                          Let me rephrase it. It the main board that I have now is fixable I'd like to try to fix it.

                            Ignorant question for you. There is still a pad for the large single pin on the regulator, I've seen it referred to as "north". There is also half of a pad for the output pin. Assuming everything else on the board is working correctly, can I just run a jumper from the adjust at U10(1.37v)?

                              Also, I've read through this post again, I hope my frustration with myself didn't come off the wrong way. I appreciate your help.

                                No. Adjust needs to go to ground. As I said, I suspect more damage has been done. You fed 2.35V into a 1.2V rail. The CPU may be damaged. You also need to make sure the new regulator doesn't overheat so it must have a good tab pad (the one you refer to as north?)

                                  I've been combing the net for a replacement board. I've found one with the same number as mine for a price I can live with. The only difference is mine is 3632-0102-0150(4b) while the other is 3632-0102-0150(4a). Does that make a difference? While I'm on the subject, any idea why there are so many different part numbers from the exact same printed board number all for the same vx32l tv#?

                                    Couldn't find a surface mount 1117 voltage regulator locally, but saw that a 317 had the same outputs and Radio Shack stocks them. I figured I had little to lose so I bought one, added some jumpers and a heat sink and attached it to a piece of breadboard. I still need to find my heat sink compound and put the back on.

                                      I have done that before on a Toshiba.

                                      Looks like a nice hack, well done.

                                      I am amazed the CPU took 2.35V.

                                      Then again, I must relate a story from my workplace. We were using some Freescale ARM processors which have a known bug: the onboard CPU regulator (I think it's a buck converter using external components) fails, causing the 0.9V core to experience about 3.3V. Amazingly, the processor still worked with this failure, but tended to crash now and then, and got very, very hot.

                                        Craziest thing. When I hook up a component to AV1 or AV2 I get sound and a blue screen that says no signal. I tried a PS2 and a DVD player. Any ideas?

                                          Hey, great job, but I would replace it with real LDO regulator, the 317 may not even need the heat sink, just see how hot it feels.

                                            Hi I inherited a Vizio M65-E0 that isn't working. It must have been dropped on the corner because I found that the infrared circuit had a capacitor with one end broken off of the board and some green corrosion around the plug to the main board. I re-soldered the capacitor and cleaned the corrosion well and tried turning the M65-E0 on and I was successful. My problem is that while the back lights come on and appear to perform local dimming there is no picture or sound. It kind of looks like you are looking at the TV through a very dense fog, where changing the input on the remote will change bright...

                                            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...

                                            Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
                                            by TR103
                                            Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                                            - sound and backlight, but no picture
                                            - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                                            - it keeps rebooting
                                            - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                                            - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                                            - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                                            - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

                                            Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
                                            by Mgiffune
                                            I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

                                            I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and

                                            Samsung UE60KU6079 backlight okay mainboard responsive, no picture, no sound

                                            Hello everyone,
                                            Ive got a UE60KU6079 on the workbench that is giving me some headaches trying to troubleshoot.
                                            The previous owner stated that there had been white dots on the screen which from the description sounded like some lenses fell of the backlight LEDs.
                                            He had opened the TV from the back, trying to get to the backlight, supposedly gave up, reassebled everything and gave the TV to me.
                                            I expected the worst like ripped COF cables or a cracked panel but could not find anything like that yet.
                                            Anyway I still fully expect that there has been something seriously damaged...
