Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

Update,
Visio XVT553SV TV turns on, BackLight comes on. Audio works fine. Channels change, Just no Vidio.
From what i've been reading it may be a faulty Cap. or voltade regulator.
I have done a visual inspection of the caps. no visual damage (no cap. tester)
so i cant realy tell.
As far as the voltage regulators go. I'm at a loss. cant find service manual,spec.sheet or schematics for this model.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a pic of the open TV & the power supply. all board numbers are above them.
Thank you & Happy Hollidays.

Include a close-up pic of the main and TCON.
Check the fuses on those boards.
We can point out the regulators with the pic.
I'm guessing you know the channels change because of the change in audio?

There's a white fuse, gold caps, on this image:

near the connector.

Check what voltage you get on both ends relative to the chassis.

There's another one a little further down the board.

one volt on both sides of the one.
fifteen volt on both sides of other.

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

would it be better if i were to borrow a didgital meter?

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

A digital meter is pretty much necessary for LCD TV diagnosis. If you can borrow one it will help greatly.

[Bob-62]

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

OK got a meter.
the upper one in pic is .30v on both sides.
the other one is 5.9 on one side & 5.11 on the other

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

Somehow power isn't reaching that first fuse. Can you get a closer in focus shot around that area? I'm trying to see if that fuse is the main T-con power or just some other function on the t-con that isn't working.

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

tryed several shots. unfortunately this is the best i can get.
USABLE ?

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

OK, that's fine for my purposes.

So the point VIN is next to one of the fuses, what does this measure? At the moment I think it measures 0.3V but if you have 5V elsewhere on the board that is not correct.

[Bob-62]

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

Checked board with magnifying glass. couldnt find VIN

[tom66]

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

Here?

[Bob-62]

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

getting .30v

[tom66]

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

OK, so it is the main board at fault, we need to figure out why. Can you post a clear shot around the main board area where that connector goes to.

[Bob-62]

Re: Vizio XVT553SV Powers up/audio/no vid.

OK here we go.

need the LCD panel number on the sticker so I can look up the LCD panel spec sheet which will tell us the pinout of the T-CON connector.
