vizio vw42l flickers
Hi. When I turn on my tv it will be fine for a few minutes or sometimes up to 20 minutes but then it starts to flicker then eventually the screen goes black but I can still hear the sound just find. I opened up the back of the tv to see if I can visually see any bad caps but nothing. Could anybody possibly know what may be causing this problem. Thanks in advance.

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
Sometimes the large 450V capacitor can fail, causing this symptom.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Is there a way to test that?Comment

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
Do you have a DMM?
Set your meter to 500VDC, 600VDC or 1000VDC (if it is manually ranging) or DCV if it is auto ranging.
Red probe in Volts/Ohm, black probe in COM.
Probe across that "Rubycon" 450V capacitor.
Careful -- high voltage. Do not short anything out.
Report reading. I am expecting around 390~400V if it is working. You need to measure it both with the set working and with it flickering.Last edited by tom66; 01-01-2013, 12:53 PM.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
OK before i attempt this i have a couple questions.
Does this tv have to powered on for this?
Probe across means exactly what?
Do not want to tear anything up lol. Thanks for your help.
Sorry i forgot to say i do have a dmmLast edited by pposey; 01-01-2013, 01:05 PM.Comment

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
Ok I think I got it. Shows 404v not flickering. Waiting on it to flicker so I can test it then.Comment

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
Yes, the TV should be switched on.
We need a reading made while the TV is running (and working fine) and one while it is flickering (going wrong)
Also how frequent is the flickering... once it starts, every few seconds or many times a second? Does it start happening once in a while and then get worse, or does it suddenly occur?Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
It just does it randomly. It could be 2 minutes or 10 minutes. Then when it starts flickering it gets worse and worse until it eventually goes black but still hear sound.Comment

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
I have encountered a bad 450V cap causing that very symptom. Though it degraded to the point of only having half the LCD dimly lit (after flickering badly), before going out completely on mine.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
I hope it is as easy as just the cap going bad on mine. Just a couple months ago I replaced the u33 regulator on this very TV.Comment

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
Rubycon are reliable, well made caps though, but it is always a good idea to consider the possiblity.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
Do you think I could test this cap when the tv goes black or do I have to do that when it's flickering?Comment

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
You need to do it while it is flickering. When the TV is in standby, it will measure 160~170VDC, and when it is off, it will measure nearly 0V. (It's not like a battery, will drain very fast when there is no input power.)Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
Ok it is still showing 404v flickering but still 404v when screen goes blank. Back light is still onComment

Wait, the backlight is on all the time?Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
yes the whole time.Comment

Re: vizio vw42l flickers
I did not realise this... I thought the backlight was what was flickering.
Can you try re-seating the video cable going from the main board to the T-con board while it is flickering and see if it resolves the issue. Try both ends if possible.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

That didn't seem to do anythingComment

I picked up this TV that the prior owner said - just died.
Tested the fuse - burnt. A dead capacitor is visible too on the hot side (CP801). Got the replacement power board (cheaply - used). Replaced the board - the TV turned ON!
Now, about a month later (yesterday) I noticed the left side of the screen was flickering from time to time. That was already happening with the antenna input, not through HDMI.
Also, some glitchiness with a Fire stick on HDMI3 - I hit an app with quick dark screen in stick, the TV goes - no input. Then I had to choose the stick... -
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.
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... -
Failure Symptom
No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.
Where is the short?
Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.
Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...
