    Vizio e421vo orange light but won't turn on - eeprom

    Got this TV for next to nothing as a non-working clearance item that had been returned to the store TWICE! I was able to get it turned on a couple of times but usually it would just be stuck and non-responsive at the orange vizio light. It was classic eeprom failure on the vizio "ExxxVO" series of TV's. I bought an SO-IC eeprom off of eBay for $20 and after a delicate soldering job it now works perfectly. If you have one of these and decide to go this route you will need good magnifying glasses and a fine pointed soldering tip. Not a repair for the faint hearted or if you aren't pretty comfortable soldering.

    Returned to the store twice meaning somewhere like Walmart? I would love to find a clearance item like that, I thought the stores always sent them back to the company?
