    Vizio VX552XVT Screen Flashing on and off

    I have a Vizio VX552XVT and I recently started hearing clicking sounds from the power supply board. It is a constant clicking noise and it makes the picture flicker on and off repeatedly. There is a red led light that flashes on the backlight inverter board as well. When the picture stays out the red light on the inverter board stays lit. The more and faster it clicks, the more the picture flashes and more likely the screen will go black. Does this mean my power supply board is going bad? I visually inspected it and dont see any blown caps. What do in need to determine where the problem lies?

      Does the problem occur immediately upon power on, or only as the set warms up?

          Does the flickering get worse over time slowly, or is it more or less constant until it finally fails?

            It seems like it will flicker until it gets better or goes black. The sound stays on though.

              OK, do you have a digital multimeter?

                No but I will go get one right now. What do I need to test?

                  There is a signal the main board produces called BL ON, ON/OFF, ... it will tell the backlight inverter/LED driver to light the panel. If it is changing rather than being steady, it is the main board that is at fault, whereas if it is static it is the power board, inverter board or LED board.

                    OK. Is it labeled on the main board or do you have a schematic. If not I will send you a picture.

                      It will usually be labeled on one of the boards, if not it can usually be figured out from how the inverter board circuit is laid out. Yes pictures would help greatly. A cheap digital multimeter will be all you need. Do not get an analogue meter.

                        OK I am going out to get the digital multi meter now. I will have to disassemble the TV again to test the voltages and will post back with my results. Thank you so much for the help and quick responses!

                          Is it Vizio VF552XVT, not Vizio VX552XVT?
                          I cannot find VX, here is the VF POWER SUPPLY. Is this the one you have?

                              I was wrong it is vf. That is the power supply that matches my TV.

                                Sorry i took so long but here we go. Here are some pics if you can direct me as what to test. When it is flashing the power board voltages vary going out but seem to be steady on the main board. What part exactly needs to be tested as i dont know where the BL on/off circuit is. Thanks again. And the power boerd in the link posted earlier is the same as mine.

                                          by HTR-Informatique
                                          Hello,

                                          YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

                                          I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

                                          On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

                                          I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

                                          I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

                                          I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

                                          Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
                                          by spice_disc
                                          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.

                                          The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

                                          Samsung UN55J6200AFXZA Splash Screen Comes up, goes out, screen flashes one time and then tv won't turn off.
                                          No picture. No sound that I can tell. Backlights are on and have been checked. Flashlight test no image on screen. I replaced the Eprom chip hoping that was the problem but nothing changed.
                                          Please help. Thanks in advance!

                                          Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen

                                          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...

                                          HI all,
                                          hope someone point to the possible issue before I start buying replacement parts.
                                          Tv starts normal and responds to remote fine, PSU voltages mesured fine 19v was 18.9V under load and 19V with main board disconnected.
                                          Backlight stays on all the time,
                                          Sound works fine.
                                          screen keeps changing form black to full picture in about 1sec intervals.
                                          Picture looks fine with no visible artifacts.
                                          I have disconnected backlights and flashlight test confirmed that picture is still doing the same.
