Adobe have made available "free" CS2:

Technically you are to have a license for CS2 but I doubt they are checking.

One could consider drawing text boxes on an image a waste of all of that power .

Enough about PS. So anyone in the USA feel like some phone tech support? I will call them and I can get billed the LD phone call. I don't mind as long as I can get support lol.

Just grab Gimp guys www.gimp.org (I also have photoshop for work but open source is where it's at. Gimp is powerful)

Re: Another E470VLE with "Orange Light of Death!"

I use Gimp on Ubuntu too, but I wouldn't call myself a power user of it.

Ok back again everyone. Well here is what I have come back with...

1. Recieved EEPROM yesterday.

2. Soldered it in and my Vizio stand by goes white then back of and to orange again. Checked all cables. Everything.

3. In my rage and frustration found an exact same TV an hour away that had a unfortunate ending with a fall and LCD cracked. Picked it up for 50 for the whole TV and brought it home.

4. Switched out both boards and transplanted them into my TV.

5. I've got picture and sound. TV works like a champ. I salvaged all components from the Cracked LCD one and kept them in case, even the housing. So consider this closed.

Great to hear you fixed it. Since the parts are in short supply consider eBaying them.

Are they really? I grabbed everything except the cracked screen. Thats outside by the road.

Here is a pic I took last night of it working.

You may be able to get the cost of the cracked screen TV back from selling the PSU, t-con and inverters.

I am having the same problem with my E470VLE. I checked the voltages and had the following.
DIM __0__Volts
Status__0__Volts
On/Off__0__Volts without pressing the on/off button. __0__Volts while pressing on/off button
Standby__0__Volts
12V__0__Volts
12V__0__Volts
12V__0__Volts
GND
GND
GND
GND
+5V__5__Volts
+5V___5__Volts
+5V__5___Volts

The thing is, I purchased a new main board and the problem remained. Would the new board not have a programmed EEPROM?

Re: Another E470VLE with "Orange Light of Death!"

What ever it is, the main board is not sending the signals, are you sure the main board is good? Where did you get it from, Shopjimmy?

Re: Another E470VLE with "Orange Light of Death!"

I bought the board from Tristate Module
