    Vizio most of the time turns on with black screen no backlight

    My Vizio (SV42 inch panel no. LC420wuf) most of the time turns on with black screen no back light. The amber Vizio turns white but then nothing. I will unplug and plug in and try again 2-10 times until the full tv turns on.

    It seems pretty common as far as Vizio goes on here so I was looking for a bit of help. Unfortunately for my specific model I can't find a diagram on here but for a similar Vizio.

    I HAVE purchase the U33 resistor I have seen mentioned. I opened up the TV to find it was not laid out the same so I am turning to you now.

    I do own a multimeter and soldering gun but I am not a genius when it comes to electronic theory.

    Thank you.

    U33 is unlikely to be a resistor - what experience of electronic repairs do you have?
    Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

      Ah I'm sorry I meant regulator but typed resistor. I don't have a lot of experience but I am pretty handy.

        What is the full model number of this TV so I can see if SJ has good clear pictures of your boards?

          I am very sorry. I am very busy lately so I haven't been able to update this ofetn. I am off the next few days with free time! My TV now won't seem to turn on so I will be extra attentive to this board. I have attached the back label to this post, (I assume it will show up here.)

              iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
              by smic717394
              Hi,

              I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

              Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
              by Ryan.man
              Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

              My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

              This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

              MacBook Pro 2011 turns on with keyboard light , screen dead
              by Rav_tangle
              Hi all , thanks for having me & I think this has been asked before but my case seems a bit odd.
              I have a MacBook Pro , board 820-2915a and it turns on , chimes etc etc , keyboard lights up, fans spins , can turn caps lock on/off but screen is dead.
              Iv tried the resets , shine torch through back logo , nothing , it seems the screen has no power. If I plug charger , it charges but if I disconnect battery it displays green light but won't turn on. Iv tried screen on with another board & it works & seems I'm not getting any voltage at pin 2 , next to ground pin .
              is this...

              asus g750js ms1130c (203) turns on nothing on the screen
              by krige
              hi all i was wondering if you could help me troubleshoot this laptop. i bought the motherboard off eBay. it is used. i fitted the motherboard into the housing of the gaming casing and turned it on. nothing shows up on the screen. i checked the connectors and no missing connectors. i also removed the graphics card and nothing on the screen. i even reflashed the bios but still nothing on the screen. can it be a corrupt bios? i even used the HDMI port but it also shows nothing on screen. could this be broken screen or a dead ec chip?...
