    2 Vizio's down

    Okay I have just spent the last two hours combing through all of the information in this forum. I have to say that quite a few of you are very impressive in your knowledge. But unfortunately most of the information might as well be in Latin. So I will try to explain my problems and hope that someone can help me.

    37 inch LCD Vizio V037L FHDTV10a TV Power comes on with sound and light bar going from amber to white. The Screen shows a portion of the TV and then goes black. Strong smell came from back of TV. Took TV apart and on the LCD back light converter (see I did some reading) there is a burnt spot below the two large rectangles on the green board. large and is obviously why I could smell the electrical smell coming from it. Is this a replacement needed (shopjimmy) is out of stock. Or can this be fixed? Is there another trusted replacement parts retailer?

    47 inch LCD Vizio VO47L FHDTV10a. Just this morning the screen went out. We have power on front light amber to white. We have sound. The remote turns TV on and off. We just don't have any picture. Took TV apart and couldn't really find anything except on the back light converter boards. On both, the caps seems to be leaking black crap out of the tops. All of the connectors seem to have a brownish tint but can't tell if they are manufactured that way. But (both) BLC's seem to have the same cap problem. Is this something I can try to replace the caps on and get away with that fix or do I need to replace both BLC's. Lastly if both BLC's have a problem does that mean I have another problem that is causing them to fail.

    Okay, chuckle for a minute at my utter lack knowledge and then please try to help since i don't have a single TV in the house with 4 and 14 year old.

    Could you post some good pictures of both TVs including close ups of boards?

    Looks like Ebay has a handful of the inverters for the 37"

      Please create separate threads for each TV, and provide good clear pictures of the board in each TV to help us troubleshoot. We need to be able to read lettering on the boards adn components, so good clear pictures are important.

        Change the caps on the inverter boards (you call them BLC's) of the 47". Do the same to any that are leaking on the power supply. Problem solved.

            LG 65UQ8000AUB no backlight burning smell
            by howardc64
            Only 3 years old. Owner said backlight went out and burning smell. Didn't bother plugging in to check if had power LED. Just opened the TV rear and found shorted bridge rectifier diode on the backlight circuit on the PSU. SF26G (400V 2A super fast recovery rectifier link ) diode replace with SF26 (what I had on hand) Google AI said G = Green Components.

            Burn looked pretty bad on the board but just was blackened carbon coating material. Scraped and cleaned off quite well and clean solder pad for the new diode.

            NEY Ultrasonic bath - magic smell
            by tmcw
            Does anyone know much about ultrasonic baths?

            I got one here at work, a NEY Ultrasonik 2QT/H, was in the trash, lovely smell of "magic smoke" having recently been emitted. Might have been the Engineering Dept that dumped it.

            Anyway, the sonic and heating lights on the front come on when plugged in and switched on, but no familiar noise I'd expect (like the sound effects from old Flash Gordon tv series of the 30's).

            Opened it up, and see some remains of something that was on the piezoelectric device on the underside of the bath, but not sure...

            Can a new computer smell like urine?
            by SluggerB
            So I assembled my new PC. Ir runs fine, no issues whatsoever.

            I noticed I was starting to get a strong odor of urine in my bedroom (the room the PC is in). The only new thing in the room is the PC.

            Just to eliminate all other suspects, I turned the PC off, unplugged it, and then spend all day today cleaning the room. Like really cleaning the room. The urine smells is gone now. Tomorrow I am going to turn the PC on and if the urine smells comes back, then thats the culprit. But why in the world would a computer make a urine smell?

            500 Watt Power Supply(s) : Smell Question
            by chris89
            Hello, I had a question about some power supplies I bought. They all emit an odor that is overwhelming if in operation and no ventilation/ door closed.

            It's not a really bad smell I mean you have to put your nose right by the exhaust or right inside the PSU. I modded an aftermarket 120mm LED to 12v for all 3 so they would run cooler and look cool. Maybe they just need to be cleaned? I also oiled the bearings on all 3 and used some tape so not all the oil leaks out... not the most appealing tape job but you can't see it when installed.

            The PSU's smell slightly like an...
