Re: Vizio GV42LHDTV No Digital Channels
My board number is 0171-2272-2133
Sticker number is 3642-0012-0150 (3C)
I will return the board if I can rule out all other causes for this problem.
I may very well have 2 good boards here.

Re: Vizio GV42LHDTV No Digital Channels
On "auto search" window in channel menu it would finish scanning the analog section and then never start the digital section. I could leave it there for hours.
On the original main board it used to scan digital channels, also bring them in when I would directly input them, then it started to become intermittent. Sometimes I could temporarily fix it by selecting "rgb" with input button then when it would shut down, I would hit input again and scroll to tv fast and it would work again. Eventually even that trick wouldn't work. It definitely acted like some sort of firmware or flash problem. Through searching this wonderful forum, I learned the correct output voltages of all the voltage regulators for my model and tested them all. They were all in spec. The power supply voltages are also all in spec as well.
I also agree that it would be highly unlikely that 2 boards would have the exact same 2 problems. Could another board be causing my problems? Although the dc voltages of the power supply are in spec, could it be a filtering problem? What puzzles me even more than the lack of digital channels is that, no button on the remote or side panel will function for about 30 seconds after initial video screen appears (when the automatic info banner appears) when I turn the tv on. This occurs no matter what input I start the tv with, not just tv. And when I turn the tv off, the video goes off right away but it takes about 30 seconds for the standby light to go from white to orange and then I hear the click. I believe the problems are related because they both appeared at the same time and disappeared at the same time, when these issues were intermittent.Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio GV42LHDTV No Digital Channels
I have the board part board number,
etch on board: 0171-2272-2213
white label: 3642-0122-150 (3B)
If you have the same parts number I believe there was an firmware problem with this board. I brought the same board but I made sure the (3B) in the replacement board I order had a high number or letter.
What is the part number for your board?
I would return that board back to tristatemodule.Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio GV42LHDTV No Digital Channels
When you say you try to scan digital channel and it stalls, what do you mean?
Did it used to work?
It would be very unlikely that 2 main boards would have something like a bad digital tuner.Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio GV42LHDTV No Digital Channels
I replaced the main board already and it still has the exact same problems.
My GV42LHDTV has a special features page on menu options with "reset all settings" I've used that and still no change. I've done the holding power button on the panel, 30 seconds with the set unplugged which I read on google searches, still no change. Perhaps the main board which I bought has a firmware problem also? I bought it from tristatemodule, they said it came from a new set and was thoroughly tested.Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio GV42LHDTV No Digital Channels
I had a Vizio GV42LHDTV and I had the same problem with the tuner not scanning for digital channels, this is a firmware problem. I had to replace the main board to resolve the problem. you can try to reset your TV back to factory setting as a last resort.Leave a comment:

Vizio GV42LHDTV No Digital Channels
Hello, I need help figuring this one out.
I'd appreciate any help.
My 42" Vizio GV42LHDTV has two symptoms.
When turning set on it (any input source) it will not respond to any commands from remote or side panel buttons for about 30 - 40 seconds (ie: volume control, channel changes, input selector changes, menu, etc. The second symptom is that it does not receive digital tv channels. In menu when scanning tv channels it will scan analog ok, then it will not attemp to scan the digital channels at all, just stalls. If I input a digital channel manually it just blinks and I get a blue screen. All other inputs and functions work as expected. For now I watch OTA tv through the composite input using a set top tuner.
All DC voltages from power supply check ok. No swelled or leaky caps.
All Voltage regulators on main board check ok. So I bought a replacement main board. Put new main board in and same exact problems.
Does anyone here have any ideas on this problem?
Could a bad T-Con board be causing this even though I have no backlight or video scanning problems?

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?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.

Hi Guys
I have a customer who has two Hitachi TVs in his bar, one is the model in the thread title and the other is a larger screen but has the same setup menu
He also has an LG TV, so three screens in the bar
I installed three Satlink ST-6503 DVB-T Modulators
This model https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32916553905.html
These connect to three satellite receivers via HDMI cables and then connect to a 4 way RF Amp that connects to the TVs on aerial cable. There is no incoming terrestrial antenna. I set the channel ID on the modulators to... -

Hi.
picked up another TV. This time is a Vizio M65-C1. TV does not turn on. I had repaired another 60 inch vizio , Bad main board.
When power button is pressed, the Power led indicator on the bottom right, turns for a few seconds and then it fades away. No backlight or Vizio logo on screen. Removed back cover and repeated test.
This is the TV This TV is a little different from the Samsung I have worked on. Power supply is on the Left side, Main Bd is on the right side, T-CON , not in the picture is on the bottom. I am assuming that the boards in the middle are the LED... -
