    Need Vizio VA320M Firmware.

    Hi I have a VA320M vizio set that needs the proper fw. I bought a Mainboard for it but when I received it, It was the 42 inch model and now the colors are all negative. I went back and switched the nand or u405 from the old board to the new and al; I get is the dreaded with logo/black screen which is what it was originally. I then put the new chip back on the board and the set comes back on, but with the ugly colors. I was hoping that someone here would have access to the fw that way I could just update via usb. I looked just for the nand with the fw already on it but could find nothing.

    Try this location. This is actually for a 37" Visio but is supposed to be the same for both models.

    If that does not work. I bought a programed EEProm from Miquel Garcia of ITVRepair, I think he is in Ft. Worth, Tx. He sells them on Ebay programed for $25.00 I believe it is.

    I don't know what your problem is, but if your tv won't come on you might check the three LDO Regulators at U4 U5 and U8 I think it is. These have shown up as a common problem on Vizio tv's. Also one other thing that might be a problem is the soldering on the Main Video Chip on the larger green board. It is in an area marked off with a white line and the EEprom chip is located close to it. Several people have had success reflowing the solder on both of those chips.
    Hope this helps
    Have you ever stopped to think and then forget to start thinking again?

      Thanks for the reply. Im certain that as unlikely as it sounds the eeprom has failed/corupted.
      I looked at the link provided and for the Itvrepair guy on ebay but couldn't find anything. does anyone have the firmware? Maybe access t fromvizio? Im a samsung tech so i can get firmwares or manuals for them but not vizio.

        Here is the address for the guy in Texas. Send it to Miquel Garcia and ask him if he has the chip and bin file you need. Also don't forget about reflowing the main video chip. That has seemed like the problem with the chip you are talking about losing its' programing.

          Thanks! I'll give him a call. As far as reflowing I actually have a ir rework machine lol. I have had to reflow a few sharp aquos mainboards.

            I couldn't get in contact with the Itvrepair guy. I really need this firmware otherwise its gonna be me shelling out another 150.00 on this board completely out of pocket. Dont you just hate when something so simple causes so much trouble.
