    Vizio p50hdm dim screen

    Hey all. Well this tv landed in my lap and I am stumped to say the least. Love to hear some input on this as I have devoted two days into it so far. Sus out ipm popped. Replaced and for good measure replaced er ipm as well. Now I have a picture back but dim. Not a zsus issue as I have another exact set with a tested working zsus. This is not a blotchy dim mal discharge dim but just dim like the contrast level is cranked all the way down. I tested the board in the other tv with same results. Now what's interesting is that the ramp up circuit had a shorted r73. Replaced and still dim. Also found b47 b48 b28 b39 open. Replaced all and still dim. R7 and r8 r75 r79 all ok. All voltages on the board appear to be proper. I don't have a schematic on the board but have a good one I'm testing readings against. Cannot find the issue. Anyone had this problem after replacing the faulty ipm's? It's for sure in the ysus as a good one works fine in this tv and gives the screen a bright raster. The board is the dreaded 6871qyh039a

    If its any help the sus out ipm is warm but not as warm as I think it should be as the er ipm is a but warmer. Zsus ipm's are obviously working as they are both decently warm and the same temp as each other.

      Re: Vizio p50hdm dim screen

      I'm now under the assumption that the ysus sus out ipm is not under full power. Leaving a very dim but uniform screen.

      Any input on this board would be greatly appreciated.

        The IPM cannot fail "half power". Only the Z-sus IPM or bad priming on Y-sus can cause dim image.

          Ah yes the priming. Don't mean to sound dumb as I am very fluent in
          Power supplies but on this board the priming is done by which circuit? Is it -vy?

            -Vy and Vsc, plus a few transistors, optocouplers, capacitors etc.
            Negative period is important for erase and stability (sparklies.)
            Positive period is important for brightness, black level and stability.

              Ok so I have a grey panel on prime. It does have a so called prime upon startup. But the to e is very dim. Kind of like when you disconnect the zsus but not the blotchy picture you would see. The zsus is working at capacity. The ysus seems to be outputting proper -vy and vscan voltages as well. Although the modules are not getting as warm as I am used to.
              Note that there was a failure of a resistor off the -vy poteometer and it was replaced as well as the "inductive links"? On the diodes under the sus out ipm. All restored and no change. This ones a head scratcher. I should probably have a look at the optos on the circuit but the voltages are there and does respond to adjustments.

                You may need to borrow a scope to test it. Also check Vzbias on Z-sus.

                  Z board is fine. Just tried again by swapping this y board into a working tv and same result. I am seeing different readings on the ic20 regulator for the input side of the sus ipm

                    Anyone ever had other problems with this board after an ipm replacement? It's obviously not priming the panel right although the output voltages seem ok with -vy at -200 and vsc at 115

                      Vsc sounds a little low? Should be around 180~190V for these panels.

                          What panel does this TV have? LG PDP50X3, LG PDP50X4?

                                    I'm fairly sure Vsc should be positive. There could be a bad cap on Vsc output.

                                      Is the adjustment +VSC the vscan adjustment. If it is and what I have found on the sticker in the panel +VSC is 115v. Is this vscan?

                                        The panel guide I linked to should make it clear, but for an X3-series plasma panel 115V seems too low to me.

                                          I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

                                          Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                                          My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                                          This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                                          ThinkPad P15s Gen 1, NM-C931 REV 1.0 touch screen replaced only works in UEFI menu
                                          by Yehuda170
                                          original screen was BOE NV156FHM-T07 with On-Cell Touch screen I²C

                                          replaced with what was in my stock, which is IVO R156NWF7 R2 which is also with On-Cell Touch screen I²C

                                          now touch screen works perfectly in UEFI BIOS menu & boot menu. but not working in OS, tried windows & linux too

                                          with original broken screen i can see in device manager touch screen in human interfaces

                                          but with the new screen it's not showing in device manager

                                          is it lenovo blocking it? is it driver missing?

                                          I²C is a headache

                                          Vizio M60-C3 black screen

                                          So our beloved M60-C3 up and died the other day. I was not there, my wife mentioned that it came on, displayed the logo, then showed the right half of the screen white and fuzzy, with the left half of the screen ok. However when I got around to looking at it, the screen would not come on at all. The indicator LED will come on, then dim a bit. After a while, the LED might blink a bunch of times. I can't get it to be consistent to do that.

                                          So I've got the back off and am checking voltages. The capacitors on the power supply board visually check out. No bulges or anything. They all show...
