Re: Vizio E321VL

You mean the metal box on the board? Is it replaceable? Or is it part of the main board?

ya, where the cable screws into, that can be de-soldered and replaced if ya know a bit of skill

Re: Vizio E321VL

I'm pretty good for an amateur. I've soldered the e321vl eprom, mini-usb jacks, etc. Any idea where to find one? Google didn't help.

Re: Vizio E321VL

Or is there something inside that can be fixed / replaced?

You need to look up the part # on them, but you probably won't be able to buy them unfortunately. You could buy a "converter box" (with composite out) and program the remote to operate the TV.

Hw00d,

Did you ever get anywhere on this? I just fixed an E470VL with the exact same issue. Main board. I verified the power supply was good by jumping from the 5VSB to PS-ON. I then checked all voltage outputs on the supply as jumped another wire to BL-ON to make sure the backlights worked. At that point I was certain the main was bad. TV running smooth now.
