    Need Help Identifying an HDMI Chip on Vizio LCD TV

    I have repaired a few Vizio LCD TV'S, I gave one 42" Vizio to a family member and it works great with the exception of both HDMI Ports not working at all, I have an old defective Mainboard from a 37" Vizio that had a problem with the main processor chip (re-flow gone bad) but when it was working the HDMI Ports did work on that board

    Looking at the pictures (shown here) I have of both boards I can see an 8 pin IC Chip just above each HDMI Port but can't really see the part numbers on the chips, I'm wondering if anyone knows if these chips are what usually go bad and if they could possibly be the same parts on the two different boards, so maybe I could pull the good ones and use them on the 42" that has the non-working HDMI Ports.

    I have read some other threads that say these chips can not be purchased due to copyright or something like that. Your comments are appreciated.

      Try cleaning the top of the chip with some isopropyl alcohol.

      Try taking a very close up picture of it with macro mode enabled on the camera and then view the picture on a computer. Lots of sunlight will help get a clear picture.

          The chip is an EDID EEPROM and only stores the resolutions and modes that the TV supports for computers and attached devices. Failure should not cause a loss of HDMI video. You can see the differential pairs leading into the large heatsinked processor, where all of the magic with the HDMI happens. If there is a fault, it will likely be with that processor, and it would be difficult to find a replacement. There's a small chance that the HDMI mux is failed, if it uses one, but again, that would be hard to find a replacement for.
          Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

              Thanks Tom, I guess I'll have to replace the Main Board if I really want to fix the HDMI, otherwise it has a great picture but no High Definition.

                  Requesting help identifying chip in Macbook Pro A2485
                  by Loki_Fido
                  Hi ya folks,

                  I have this MacBook Pro A2485 (M1 Pro 2021) which came in for repair.

                  It had a shorted SSD power supply chip. Therefore it was stuck at 5V.
                  I replaced it and the SSD are fine. No more shorts.

                  But The mac still pulls 5V and 200mA. If i leave it alone for 5 mins, the mac manages to receive 20V and 40mA. Of course, which doesnt mean the mac starts after power meter reading 20V.

                  But while the mac is stuck at 5V, i checked the board with thermal and found this chip was trying to start. Chip picture is attached.

                  Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
                  by acedogblast
                  This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                  There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                  Help identifying this chip for Yoga 7 16IRL8
                  by trepachka
                  This chip is shorted thru. Based on what I see, it's either a 3.3V or 5V buck converter, just my guess. The markings on the chip state "S2=AB".

                  A photo of the chip is attached.

                  Thank you....

                  Need help identifying an IC chip on a Bush DAB radio (BD-1801)
                  by tyler123456
                  Hi,

                  Not sure whether anyone can help but I'm trying to identify the IC chip in the photo below.

                  I purchased a faulty Bush DAB radio (model # BD-1801) and identified that an IC chip was blown on it. Unfortunately, I couldn't read the manufacturer name / model number of the IC chip.

                  I purchased another (working) BD-1801 so that I could open it up to find out the IC details - but the IC chip details are missing (as you can see in the photo.)

                  Given the two huge blobs of solder either side of it I'm guessing it regulates power(?)

                  Anyone...

                  Help identifying a chip for Lenovo Slim 7 16IAH7 - schematics needed
                  by trepachka
                  I have this Lenovo Slim 7 16IAH7 notebook that is not booting properly. All voltages are there: 5v, 3.3v, 1.8v but it's still a no-go.

                  I spotted this IC chip with markings "6611c" on it. The coil near this chip measures around 200 Ohms which I think is too low. But without the schematics, it's just a guess.

                  I wonder if someone has the schematics for this board or perhaps, can help me identify this particular ship. Thanks....
