    Vizio GV42LHDTV10A - Stays on 10 seconds - then shuts off

    Upon plug in, the backlight will stay on 5-7 seconds then go out along with the TV going back to standby 3 seconds later.
    The TV came on with the blue screen with "No Signal" Text floating.

    I have detached inverters and TCON and problem still persists.

    The main had one bad regulator (DU4) which was an adjustable but with that replaced the problem is still here.

    Anything else to look for on these mains?
    Vizio's guide for DC-DC converters just checked U1 (Dual FET) pin 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 had 5.162v on them (good?) and then checked the regs.

      Did you remove a heatsink?

          There is a clip for what I presume to be the audio driver that is removed, but that is it.

              What made you think that the regulator was bad?

              What voltages were you seeing on all of the regulators?

                  Was it in the PC VGA input mode? Does it do that if you use Video source input mode?

                      The regulator was under the 1.25 difference, that is why it was replaced.

                      And it is (budm), it is now on another input and is currently on as I type.
                      Is that an actual setting or a fault with that input?

                          That is normal, it is just like computer monitor that will go in to standby mode if it does not detect video signal from PC, and if you leave the TV in tuner mode but do not have antenna or cable attach, it will also go into standby mode after 10 seconds to minutes, most TVs are setup that way now.

                              Oh, well I am familiar with the auto-off features but I have never had one do it that fast lol.
                              I'll consider it lesson learned.

                                  Sony LED 65X9005A shuts down after few seconds - looking for help
                                  by tec3000
                                  Hi community! Germany calling I am wondering if you guys can help me out. I have an issue with my Sony LED TV. I've been told this is a good place to ask. Thanks for anyone who will reply and offer advice. Appreciated!

                                  I have a KD-65X9005A Sony 4k LED TV. For a few weeks I've got this problem where I turn on the TV and within a few seconds the TV starts getting darker until it shuts itself off and I get the 4 blinking error code. HOWEVER there is one exception: Whenever I switch to the i-Manual, a full screen on-screen instruction manual, the TV never turns off. I tested for hours!...

                                  I have used the search, and am stumped.

                                  My Vizio M65-C1, Vizio logo appears for about 10 seconds then goes off.Power LED blinks 15 times then the TV powers down.

                                  I have read through many threads on the M65-C1 including the following threads. I feel like I must be looking right past the solution to my problem:

                                  Hello together,

                                  I am hoping for some tips here to repair a notebook.

                                  The notebook has following issue:
                                  After starting the notebook it shut down after a few seconds.
                                  Sometimes it is possible to enter the bios but then after, another few seconds it shuts down also.
                                  The time until shutdown varies slightly.

                                  What I've tried so far:
                                  - cmos cleared
                                  - removed all components that are not essential for motherboard testing including keyboard and touchpad
                                  - ram exchanged
                                  - same behaviour with power supply or battery...

I bought one from local hardware store and replcaed. it looked fine then the fan started to spin at the full speed after about 1 minute and then immediately shut off after 10 seconds. Then I though if i have done something wrong, so i cleaned up everything with IPA and put new thermal paste. but the issue was still there. After that, I came across this article where he had similar issue and he was able to solve it by replacing...
