Picked up a Vizio xvt553sv yesterday, it freezes on the vizio logo on startup... After about 3 minutes it reboots it self and does the same thing. I assume this is a firmware issue, and of course vizio does not offer a firmware update for this tv. I know the problem is in the main board. Its gotta be fixable without replacing the whole main board, Im getting tired of Vizio's "firmware problems".

Re: Vizio xvt553sv Freezes on splash screen
I'm working on the same TV right now with a main board problem but its probably not the same problem as yours.
Can you do me a favor and tell me what is the serial is on the chip near the hdmi ports that read "silicon image"? Thanks
Also, when you disconnect the power cable and plug it back in, does the vizio logo blink white and orange for a number of times?Last edited by Glitcher; 11-05-2013, 06:29 PM.Comment

N2M674-00-1 serial.
The vizio symbol flashing is exactly what the tv is supposed to do, mine does the same. It is rebooting itself and checking for any issues, I contacted Vizio directly about that issue. Flashes for about 80-90 seconds.Comment

Re: Vizio xvt553sv Freezes on splash screen
Usually the freezing of the splash screen is an EPROM issue on the main board. At least that's the case with the ones I've had.Doing this on the side to make some extra money for my daughters dance competition.Comment

Re: Vizio xvt553sv Freezes on splash screen
Can you buy a eeprom and just install it? I see the trade in service for the XVT553SV and the XVT473SV mainboards on ebay so i assume that the firmware is available somewhere.Craigslist Picks & Fixes

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! -
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... -
Having this very weird issue.
The owner of this laptop complained about screen being intermittent when opening and closing, and has been using the laptop on a thunderbolt video connection since the screen failed.
I swapped with a working screen from an A2141 waiting for parts.
The Os exhibits this weird behavior where it boots to to 1/3 the status bar, then it makes the boop sound. It's at the log in but for whatever reason the desktop isn't loaded.
The laptop boots fine into recovery mode. I updated from Monterey to Sonoma and the laptop still has... -
Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".
It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...07-31-2025, 08:37 PM
