    E390vl help with regulator testing

    I got a e390vl. And I plug it in the vizio logo lights up press power and the set turns on the screen turns on displays the vizio splash screen then tv shuts off even the logo and will not turn back on. I checked and I'm getting 5v standby but no 12v. So I'm thinking its a v regulator. I'm having issues checking them cause I cannot read the writing on all of them. One reads ax1008 then 12101. Another regulator reads H 1117C then below it says 1.2v then 207. And another regulator I can't read the writing but I can make out 1117

    Also I checked the 12v fuse on the main board and it doesn't get any voltage. Does the main board send 12v to the power board or is it the other way around?

      I'll bet corrupted flash over regulator on these, this is a newer Vizio (39" panels didn't start appearing until 2012) so you proboably want to focus on that, especially if splash screen pops up.

      Not saying it isn't a regulator, but flash memory failure is 99x more likely, in my opinion, the bane of Vizios.

          Also on the regulator that I couldn't quite read. The ground pin read.257v shouldn't it be at 0.

            Would the flash memory mean I need a new main board?

              You can sometimes buy the flash chips on ebay for about $20. But if not you would need a new main board.

              If a regulator is adjustable the ground isn't usually 0V but is instead floating about 1.25V below the output.

                  That is what it is sometimes called, although incorrectly.

                    Also is there a way to test the EEPROM to make sure it's working.

                      Also I'm not sure if I was clear when I said it turns off. The tv then would not turn back on even if I unplugged it and pressed the power button for 30sec and plugged back in.

                        No way to test the flash as far as I'm aware unfortunately.

                            How do I figure out which chip on the board is the EEPROM I have the new one just don't know how to find the origonal one

                              Also does it matter which way it goes in? Meaning there is no marking of which leg is leg one and which on is leg eight.

                                Yes it does. You need to locate pin 1 marker on your original device or on your board. Then solder new one same way round...

                                  Some of these small flash-chips have a side thats sloped--thats the side on which is pin 1

                                  Just gotta look carefully at them--There'll definitely be a marking or indentation or some kind of indication which end/side is which....

                                  The part number--is generally printed the same way on these things when they are by same maker--but not always the case.

                                    So on this one it has a dot in the corner of the chip and that actually matches up with the pad side of the pcb that has a dot in the same corner. I figured it out by looking at the other chips on the board and they all were the same way. So I got it soldered in but when I plug it up the tv does nothing. Not even light up the logo. I have 5v standby at the fuse on the main board.

                                        No the fuses on the main board are not shorted. They are fine.
