    Vizio VO42L FHDTV10A amber->orange, power OK, unresponsive

    Hi,

    I've perused the related posts for this model, here. Everything looks OK (except, of course, something I haven't thought of looking at, yet! ).

    Amber logo when plugged in. +5VSB available. Power button brings up white logo and all supplies (12V, 24V). No backlights visible. No changes with power cable to HV inverter removed (note: appears to be a different inverter; all on one board, no LED).

    All regulators seem to be operating properly on main board:
    U15 5.05 -> 3.33
    U16 11.50 -> 5.05
    U20 3.29 -> 1.80
    U17 5.05 3.37 2.11
    U19 5.06 2.55 1.27
    U21 2.55 1.26 0
    U22 5.10 3.35 2.09
    U44 11.50 9.66 8.39

    No obvious bad caps, scorched components, signs of magic smoke leaking, etc. Will have to remove shroud to get a peek at TCON.

    Logo seems to "fade" in intensity after coming on as bright white (?). But, I'd have to prove that to myself before swearing to it.

    Set is unresponsive after that initial "power on" -- including the ability to power OFF! As if the processor was "distracted". Original owner complained set degraded slowly over time until getting to this unresponsive state (hard to imagine a software failure degrading like this).

    Photos will have to wait as no batteries for camera (though I doubt anything will be visible regardless -- my eyes are old but not THAT old! )

    SWMBO is grumbling about the amount of kit piling up around here so I've got to take the time to fix it or scrap it (I guess having 10 pairs of SHOES is OK but anything with wires is "junk", eh?)

    advTHANKSance!

    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...

    Vizio VO42L Issues: Need Guidance
    by ChillingCicada
    We've had our Vizio VO42L since before 2010, and it's worked flawlessly this entire time. However, just recently it started emitting a high-pitched buzzing/humming sound. I followed the basic troubleshooting tips of just unplugging it for a moment, and even holding down the power button while doing so, all to no avail.

    Furthermore, after I attempted these basic steps and powered the TV back on it would always begin visually flickering while the sound stuttered. After a few moments of being turned on this would go away, but it still periodically comes back.

    I also...

    Vizio M65-C1
    by mrtek
    Hi.

    picked up another TV. This time is a Vizio M65-C1. TV does not turn on. I had repaired another 60 inch vizio , Bad main board.
    When power button is pressed, the Power led indicator on the bottom right, turns for a few seconds and then it fades away. No backlight or Vizio logo on screen. Removed back cover and repeated test.
    This is the TV This TV is a little different from the Samsung I have worked on. Power supply is on the Left side, Main Bd is on the right side, T-CON , not in the picture is on the bottom. I am assuming that the boards in the middle are the LED...

    Vizio VO42L, white logo, no backlight, no picture
    by Daveleone
    Hi all! I've got a Vizio VO42L. Plug it in, and logo flashes orange/white for a bit, then solid orange. Press power, and logo changes to white. There is no backlight.
    From reading some of the posts here I thought the inverter could have been the problem, but I've replaced it and still have the same issue. I noted that shining a flashlight on the screen shows nothing, so now I'm thinking main board?

    I took the following readings with the TV powered on. I also tried taking the readings with the CFL connectors unplugged - no change.

    Main board:
