    Vizio VL470M problem.

    Picked this last night, and it would take 5-10Min. to turn on. The yellow logo changes from yellow to a dim white when turned on but no pix or sound. per the owner, after it comes on, you can turn it off and on and it works fine until it's been off for for several hours.
    When I turned it on this morning, it came right on! It had been unplugged for overnight. No caps look bad but I think I'll replace all the Power supply caps with FM and FC Panasonics and check for bad solder joints.

    Anyone have any tips for other problems with this set?

    Check the voltage regulators on the main board.

      I did check the regulators, all looked good, but I have to wait till it fails again to check again!

        Now I've screwed the pooch! I dislodged C107 on the power supply and lost it. It's an SMD but I don't know the value. Not on Electrotanya. PS is: 0500-0412-0700.

          well, it seems to work without that cap. problem is I cant get it to fail! I'll leave it off again tonight. I did re-touch a bunch of solder joints though.

            Is that cap (more likely to be MLCC type) connected in parallel with the electrolytics cap?

              I'll check if it's in parallel. I still can't get it to fail. Maybe the re-solder worked!

                If it is in parallel, then it is just a bypass cap, around 0.1~0.47uF range.

                  Got it to fail again! The power on/of. OFF=1.17V Power on(not working) =1.39 Power on working+1.45. Now just to trace it down and check the regulators when it fails again!

                    I don't have a lot of experience with Vizio LCD TVs, but it seems like irreproducible failures are common. I have two sitting in a storage area, and the owners said they weren't working. I haven't been able to reproduce the failure in one, and the other has only failed once.

                      Well, I'll wait till it fails again and re-check the regulators while in failure mode..

                        OK, so when it failed, you need to see if the voltage on the main filter cap (450VDC) drops dow to 165~170VDC, you must measure it right at the two legs of the cap. 1.39V should still be enough to turn on the transistor on the power supply board.

                          Re: Vizio VL470M problem.

                          The regulators looked good in failure mode. The problem is definitly on the mother board. I disconnected the 0n/off wire and jumpered a 500K resistor..Boom, on it came. I ended up reconnecting the wire and adding a 1K resistor to 5V. This broughe the on/off voltage up to where it turns on. It will still partially power off, BL/sound go off when I hit power off but the 12V stays up. Also HDMI 1 doesn't work.

                          Sounds like a bad transistor causing the ON/off problem, But WHERE?

                            Does anyone know if the Vizio logo should change from yellow to white on this model?
                            Mine just goes dim on power on.

                              It should go white at power on, at least the one I recently worked on did.

                                by multimesut
                                Hello friends,

                                A yellow light was flashing on my monitor. It was like it was constantly cutting power. When I opened it up, I saw that the big capacitor in the high voltage line was leaking. I replaced it. When I turned it on for the first time, it had the same problem again. But then, interestingly, it got better. The yellow light was on steady. But the monitor wouldn't turn on. When I examined them with a thermal camera, I saw that the Fli5961-LF reached 50 degrees Celsius and the EM636165TS next to it reached 100 degrees Celsius and was drawing high current on the motherboard....

                                No Power problem with Vizio E60-E3
                                by rajbot
                                Hi all:

                                I have a Vizio E60-E3 I am trying to troubleshoot a no power problem with. Thanks to the help on this board and elsewhere, I was pretty sure I had narrowed it to a power board problem. The board in question is a 09-60CAP0D0-00. Image attached for reference, but not of my board (tv is put away at the moment). FWIW, no obvious looking issues with the board.

                                I measured voltage at power in and on the fuse and saw 120V, so power is getting to the board.

                                On the pins out to the main board, I got no voltage at all on any of the pins. I assumed this...

                                Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs
                                by theone111
                                I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.

                                In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.
                                1. Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
                                  Frequency: Happened about once a week.
                                  Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again.
                                2. Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
                                  Frequency: Happened about once a week.
                                  Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve.
                                3. Problem: TV shuts down

                                by Pinky Deepak
                                I have a M60-C3 where the left edge has started showing issues as seen in the picture attached. Along with this, I also noticed some darkening on the left half of the screen which went away after I left the TV unplugged. i initially thought it was the led backlight that was wearing out but looks like something to do w the TCONN board. I searched this forum but couldn't find anyone else seeing this issue. most of them were LH/RH completely gone. any insights or guidance is appreciated.

                                Here's a video of both the issues: https://youtu.be/hMqc760nB3o
