    Vizio D65x-G4 Volume changes on its own

    On this Vizio D65x, the volume will change on its own. I don't mean like during commercials where the volume will increase. I mean its like the (+) volume button on the remote is pressed and the actual volume dialog is displayed on the screen going up. It will do this, then the volume may start going down. It might go all the way to "0"or it might stop at a different number, then start going back up. The whole time its doing this, the volume dialog is shown on the screen.

    It wont do it until it has been "ON" for 20 or 30 minutes, so it does seem to be heat related.

    I thought it might be my remote, but I removed the batteries from the remote and it still does it, so I don't think that is what it is. I am using an Amazon Firestick, but I use the same firestick on another TV without issues.... so I really don't think its the firestick.

    There is a circuit board for the IR control, YX-PCB-KEY-277 Key Controller board that I thought might be the issue. Or, I guess it could be the main board.

    Would there be anyway to test to make sure which is the culprit before I start tossing parts at it?

    Thanks

    So turn off the control board and see if the volume changes or not.

      Hi, I'm not an expert on TVs, but I think it may be faulty/dirty buttons, as in they have resistance across them when not pressed
      Try turning on the TV then unplug that button board with the tv powered on, see what happens

        If you don't want to end up with a dead processor, then all manipulations with disconnecting and connecting different cables, cables under voltage, then you must first de-energize the TV from the outlet and then disconnect and connect the cables!

          Maybe try removing the button board and putting a little iso alcohol on those 4 tactile push button switches and push them multiple times. It may clean/free it up if that is the issue. It does dry fast but let it dry a while before trying again. Can check those resistors and any cap that you see on it too.

            Thanks for those suggestions. Before pulling any boards or connections, I played around with it more this afternoon. Now when I press the remote Volume (+) button, the volume on the TV starts going up and up. If I don't touch any buttons on the remote it will go all the way to 100. But if I touch any other key, say the number "2" key, then it stops. I can press the Volume (-) button and it will go all the way to 0. But if I touch any other button it will also stop as before.
            Also when I go into the TV Settings menu, if I press the arrow down button, it will scroll through all the menu items and stop at the bottom. Rather than going down one menu item, it just keeps going like I am pressing the button multiple times. Same thing if I press the arrow up, it scrolls all the way to the top. But if I quickly press a number button it will stop on one of the menu items.

            I did try a known good Firestick and I get the same weird issues.

            I am now leaning toward it being the main board rather than the Key Controller Board.

            Thought/suggestions?

            Thanks

              you are playing with Remote Control, what about if this RC defect !!, take out the batteries from the RC ( to put it out 100% ) and use the TV direct control ... let see if this issue remain or not

                Check the volume buttons on the back of the TV , had a similar issue with a toggle button on a toshiba TV, i thought it was the remote at first. A quick spray with contact cleaner solved it.

                    Well if its just the remote fkin up, take it apart and clean the board with iso alcohol, about 2,001 how to videos on youtube.

                      Can try the lazy way, take batteries out hold power button down for 59 seconds and push all the buttons 42 times before putting batteries back in and make sure batteries are new.

                        I took the batteries out of the remote so its totally out of the equation. I have 4 buttons on the back of the TV. Power, (+), (-) and Input. I press the power button and the TV comes on, but then the volume starts going up and up.... all the way to max of 100. Now pressing any of the buttons does not change anything on the TV. It wont even power off when I hold down the power button. To power it off, I have to unplug it.

                        I did check the continuity of the button switches on the Key Controller Board. They seem to be working correctly. I am going to say its the main board. Maybe a cold joint somewhere or maybe a flaky component.

                            Check if you have an auto volume setting, if so set it to off or normal and retry. Maybe turn off any cec settings.

                              Post a picture of these 4 buttons, are they like the ones in the picture that lotas posted. Did you check the exact resistance across each of the buttons when pressed and not pressed (with the TV unplugged)

                              Edit: Did you test voltage across the pins

                                There may be a leak inside the button between the membrane and the contact pad, as the silver-plated layer on these contacts turns black and this oxide begins to create internal resistance, causing false button operation....
                                And if at least one button is pressed or has some internal resistance between the contacts, then the others will not work...

                                  You probably tried this already.. but ive fixed this before doing a factory reset and an update. May not help but you never know

                                    Do as recommended in post #9. one of the tac switches is bad on the button board, you can't check it with a meter. you will likely need to have the button/ir board connected to turn on the tv, so push the power and immediately disconnect the button board.

                                          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...

                                          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...

                                          Sony HCD-HX80R Amplifier Volume Control Problem
                                          by crackedprint
                                          I have a strange fault on a Sony amplifier. The volume control varies the display from MIN, then 1 up to 30 and then MAX as expected. At MIN there is no sound. However, at 1 it is quite loud and increasing above 1 does not change the sound level.

                                          I have tried a Cold Reset as per the service manual.

                                          I have looked at the I2C clock and data to volume control chip IC501 (BD3499FV). Data is only sent to IC501 when the volume is set to MIN or 1. At any other setting no data is sent to IC501.

                                          I have looked all the way through the service manual and tried many online...

                                          Marantz SR5007 popping on volume change and mute in Direct Mode

                                          Hi,

                                          I bought a used Marantz SR5007 and it's giving me some issues that I can't seem to really place. It functions well in most settings, ARC mostly works, it has no issues driving my speakers in any of the digital input modes, but I'm having issues running analog inputs in direct or pure direct mode. For some reason in this mode there's distortion for every volume increment I give it, but once the volume is stable it has no issues. Muting creates a loud pop, switching to another source also causes a pop and so does turning off the amp in that mode. Again, no issue in the digital modes....
