    Vizio XVT553SV Power up problems

    Hello everyone. I have had this TV for a few years and it has given me a lot of trouble. It has been replaced by the factory once while under warranty and then a year after it was replaced that unit went black. I had a company repair the TV. They installed a new main board and I think the T-con. Now it has gone black again. It stays in the standby mode and will not fully power up. The little vizio light on the front stays an amber color and pulse's to a dim amber after hitting the power switch. It should light up bright white. Does anyone have any ideas for me. Thanks in advance.

    Open the tv up and take pictures of each board individually, one up close of each connector on the power supply board so we can see any markings and one of the entire back of the set.

    Do you own a multimeter?

        Connector CN202... DMM set to 20VDC, Red probe into the 3rd wire (red, PIN 3) connection (just push into top of connector where wire goes) and black probe to chassis (screw hole is good)

        Reading before and after you try powering up the set?

          It reads 5.17v before and after the switch is pressed.

              The readings were the same for before and after pressing the power switch.
              Pin 1: 2.1v
              Pin 4: 5.17v
              Pin 5: 5.17v

                Do you have a 470 - 1k resistor at hand?

                  I have 2 resistor at hand. They read
                  9.95K and 3.3K Would they work?

                            Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                            by Tynan Dill
                            I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                            Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                            I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                            The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                            With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                            Assuming...

                            Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                            by PantherDave
                            Hi all!

                            I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                            I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                            by GLISIT
                            Hi all,

                            TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                            I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                            A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                            Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                            by sam_sam_sam
                            I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                            One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...
