    Vizio VO320E - Black Screen

    So when I got this TV it would turn on, as indicated by the orange light turning white, but I couldn't see a backlight turn on and I didn't see any image even when I shone a flashlight on it. After some research on badcaps I figured my best bet would be to test the voltage regulators. I'll try to get some better photos if anyone wants them, but for now these are the readings I got:

    U5
    L311
    G1117
    pin 1 = 1.37
    pin 2 = 2.62
    pin 3 = 5.00

    U9
    L311
    G1117
    pin 1 = 1.25
    pin 2 = 2.49
    pin 3 = 5.01

    U7
    L313
    G1084
    pin 1 = 2.04
    pin 2 = 3.28
    pin 3 =5.01

    U4
    L311
    G1117
    pin 1 = 2.04
    pin 2 = 3.28
    pin 3 = 5.04

    U2
    L311
    G1117
    pin 1 = 2.05
    pin 2 = 3.28
    pin 3 = 5.00

    U8
    L311
    G1117
    pin 1 = 0.00
    pin 2 = 1.24
    pin 3 = 3.24

    U11
    7805CT
    RAL 930 G
    pin 1 = 12.27
    pin 2 = 0.00
    pin 3 = 4.98

    TUS2
    EH13A
    928K80
    pin 1 = 0.00
    pin 2 = 0.41
    pin 3 = 0.06

    Then I messed up when I tried to test the current going through the G1117 voltage regulators because the datasheet declared different dropout voltages at 800 mA (1.2 V) and at 1 A (1.3 V). So I think I accidentally crossed two pins when reading the 2nd pin on U8, because when I made contact the speakers let out some static noise. I backed off, then attempted it again and got a reading of about 1.1 amps. I then went on to read the current on the input and adjustment pins, just to see if there was any difference, and then I think I blew the fuse on my power board (it reads 0 V on one side of the fuse, and now none of the voltage regulators on the main board are receiving voltage).

    I am going to try replacing this fuse and the voltage regulators at U2, U8, and U9, as these did not have output voltages within 2% of their expected values. Can I get some confirmation whether or not I'm diagnosing this right, and any sort of explanation of why I might have blown that fuse? Also are the U11 and TUS2 components voltage regulators as well? They looked like it to me, but I was unable to find any datasheets for them online when I searched.

    "Then I messed up when I tried to test the current going through the G1117 voltage regulators because the datasheet declared different dropout voltages at 800 mA (1.2 V) and at 1 A (1.3 V)" How did you go about the current testing? Did you put the meter in AMP mode, then one meter probe to ground and another probe to either the input pin or the output pin?
    To measure the current draw, you will put the AMP meter in SERIES with the load.

      7805 is your classic 5V regulator.

      A picture of TUS2 would help.

        Yea, I tested it exactly as you described with the neutral probe on a ground screw and the positive probe on one of the voltage regulator tabs (first I attempted the output tab which gave me a 1 amp reading, then I tried the adjustment and the output tabs which gave me 0 amps and when I went back to the output again I got nothing). I should have known better, I was always taught to make current readings in series, but I was too impatient to care to set it up in series I suppose.

        I have attached a close-up of the TUS2 component here.

        Does anyone have suggestions on how to source the right components? I tried looking up an adjustable G117 on Digikey and some other part stores but it is coming up with more options than I would have thought...

        http://www.digikey.com/scripts/dksea...ty=0&PV48=4843

        Would any of these be OK? Does anyone have a suggestion of an easier site to search for parts on? I'm sure this has been covered before, but I was unable to find a thread on it.

          See post 7 for the listing of the 1117 series LDO:

          I am not so sure what that TUS2 is yet.

            The above is a fixed ROHS coded 1.8V regulator according to (page 3)

              Thanks for finding that info. Why can't they just put -18 on the darn IC?

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

                Assuming...

                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...

                ThinkPad W530 - faulty CPU regulators?
                by yuii
                Hello
                I've got two W530 boards, one with K1000M and one with K2000M graphics card. The first one had an issue of turning off under heavy CPU load after about 30 minutes or in idle. GPU load wasn't causing it to shut down. Trying to turn it back on would only make the power LED to come up for about 2 seconds without fan spin or thinklight flash, and that's it. It also wasn't charging the battery after it died.
                Gently pressing the laptop in left upper corner would fix this problem for a couple of days.
                The latter is completely dead and has the same 2-second power blink, nevermind...
