    Vizio LDO Voltage Reg VW42LHDTV10A

    Well I read up allthe other post on the site. The Yellow standby light comes on and then turns white when turned on but no 12 or 24vdc. The main board is 3642-0262-0150. I checked the LDO and other voltage regulators.
    U2 5.12 3.31 2.07
    U8 5.12 3.28 2.05
    U33 5.12 3.32 2.07
    U7 3.32 1.11 .02 ---- Bad output and is the input voltage correct?
    U9 3.32 1.51 .001---- Is the input voltage correct?
    U3 12.03 5.06 .00
    U10 5.11 1.38 2.63

    I can turn on Power Supply by jumping PS-0n with 1kohm jumper to 5vdc
    Does anyone have a list of what LDO controls what functions? Thereis lots of info on checking the LDO. What is the proper sequence of checking them?
    Replacing U7 will let the PS turn on? or U7 and U9?

    U7 3.32 1.11 .02 ---- Bad output and is the input voltage correct?, .02 +1.25Vref = 1.27V, so it is bad.
    U9 3.32 1.51 .001---- Is the input voltage correct. 3.32V is enough input voltage for the LDO to operate. This one may be 1.5V fixed LDO. What is the number printed on the body?
    I believe the output of U33 feeds the input of U7 and U9, you can trace that out.

      Well I replaces U7 a 1117 adjustable LDO and the set came to life. Set works fine I turned on/off several times and has played several hours. The mainboard wad not sending the PS-on to the SMPS. Set mow works after replacing U7. Nothing else was replaced so I assume U7 supplies the voltage for the PS-on command

          Re: FIXED...Vizio LDO Voltage Reg U7 VW42LHDTV10A

          Bud -
          You asked me to follow-up on my Vizio 42" regulator (U7) repair:..

          A few weeks ago, you helped me identify the correct voltages for my Main-Board Regulators in my VW42LHDTV10A. You posted the links to the Digi-Key Regulators I needed, mainly U7. I ordered them and replaced U7 only...and IT POWERED ON IMMEDIATELY! So, Thank you for your help!

          I can not find in this forum where I was posting before, so I followed up here since this thread is about the same problem and solution.

          My symptoms were logo glows orange, but nothing else is responsive.
          We tried replacing the PSU first (before joining this site), but that produced no changes. So, now I have a good spare PSU sitting around in a box. Oh well, at least the regs were cheap!

          In the end, it only cost about .45 cents to repair a TV that I intercepted on its way to the dump. I learned a bunch from this experience, and am now prepared for other regs that might go bad too, because I ordered U33, U2, U9, U8, etc...when I was placing the order.

          Thanks again!

            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 E400i-B2 missing stand-by voltage
            by DXseekerMO
            I picked up this Vizio E400i-B2 with no stand-by light and diagnosed it with missing stand-by voltage. I found a Power Supply at ShopJimmy, installed it but it didn't work properly. SJ refunded the transaction and did not ask me to send the board back.

            So I took some voltage readings upon the original board. Here's what I found:

            Main caps have 169.9v

            AC detect voltage is 1.3v

            None of the MOSFETS appear to be short.

            The opto (IC106) that appears to have something to do with stand-by voltage has 3.0 volts on terminal 1...

            Lenovo L490 Ram voltage circuit malfunction
            by rddube
            Hello friends,

            Looking for some guidance here. The RAM voltage circuit on this motherboard keeps burning out PU301 which is a RT8231AGQW. Copy of the board with the burnt chip attached with some voltage measurements and copy of the schematics also included.

            I think I've checked almost every component in the circuit, but when I change the RT8231, the laptop starts I have 1.2V on the inductor for about 10 seconds and then the RT8231 goes south and no more voltage on the inductor. All other voltages on the laptop are good, this is the only one conking out for a reason I...

            Panasonic TH-L42D25A checking the PSU output voltage
            by electron_jj
            Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum. I have a Panasonic LED TV which doesnt turn on and is blinking 4 times repeatedly when I turn on the switch. The TV does not respond to the remote control so I had to turn on using the physical switch on the side of the TV. When I turn on the switch the 4 x blinking starts and repeat itself until I turn off the TV. There is a black screen. I turned off the light in the room to check the panel and I think there is no backlight as far as I can tell.

            I have been inspecting and testing the capacitors and diodes in the power supply board to try to...
