    Vizio E371VL - No audio or video, only amber light - SOLVED(?)

    Bought this TV earlier today. Was told that it gets power but nothing else. Got it home, confirmed that the Vizio light turns amber when the set is plugged in but the TV does not respond to anything (power button, remote, etc).

    After taking off the back, no visible signs were evident. Based on previous posts I suspected that a reflow of U48 might solve the problem. Took out the mainboard, ran a heatgun over U48 for about 60 seconds and then waited for everything to cool down.

    The TV has been running now for over an hour. I will repost if the issue pops up again, but I wanted to give my results.

    Thank you to all the previous posts on the E371VL that helped me diagnose.

      HP 470 G5 blinking amber light no power
      by huzo
      The board is daox8cmb6eo and i can't find no boardview or schematics on the forum or anywhere...

      So i plug in the charger, amber light starts blinking ,there is 3.3V and 5V present, and 2.4V on the power button,board doesn't turn on, no shorts...
      I've tried flashing the bios...

      interesting thing is the battery was around 7,8V, and it's 11.1V battery, the mosfet near the battery is open, but not charging,i desoldered it,tested it and it's fine ,but the amber light kept going on the charger so i charged the battery with power supply and got it to about 10.5V...

      Vizio SV422XVT blinking amber/white power light
      by What?
      Good day, hope all are healthy and cozy. I could use some help with my malfunctioning Vizio with a blinking power light. I have narrowed the problem to the main board but not sure what to do next. I guess it would be good to start with what I have done.

      Problem:
      I have no image, no sound, blinking power light. (left it plugged in overnight and it was still blinking the following morning). I tried the Vizio recommendations (hold power button for 30 seconds, press reset button, check the outlet is live)

      Power Board:
      I am getting 5v only. I have unplugged...

      HP laptop does not charge the battery, the light turns amber and then changes to white.
      by stevenallauca
      Hello everyone. I have a problem with an HP laptop, when connecting the charger the amber light comes on for 6 seconds, changes to white and does not charge, I have checked all the components with the multimeter and the values seem correct, I was guided by the diagram, I do not know if it is a problem with the BQ24728H charge controller, investigating it seems that the voltages given by the charge controller are correct, I made the measurements connected to the power source and without the battery:
      - ACN (BQACN) 19.6v
      - ACP (BQACP) 19.6v
      - CMSRC (BQCMSRC) 19.6v
      - ACDRV...

      Vizio E550i-A0 no power, no standby light
      by x_orange90_x
      I have a Vizio E550i-A0 that will not power on. It also does not display the standby light in the corner. I disconnected the main board cable to see if the backlights would light but they did not (maybe this is normal for this set?). I checked the voltages on the plug and they all read in mV or 0, so there's no voltage there. The fuses are ok, and the voltages of the 450v caps read about 160v. I see no visual damage on either the power supply or main board. I have read online that the main board is usually the culprit in this model, but not getting backlights with the main disconnected makes me...

      Dell Latitude 5420 / GDF40 LA-K491P REV 3.0 / Amber / Orange light when power button is pressed
      by zwect
      I have this Dell Latitude 5420 with ST: CMF62F3, board GDF40 LA-K491P REV 3.0 that does not power on, i already searched for some clues about this problem that happens on mine but no BIOS i downloaded and flashed did anything.
      Only when the power brick is connected, when pressing the power button an amber light lights up at the front and slight decreases its brightness, the RAM and the CPU seem to heat up if the laptop is left connected but nothing else, other than USB devices getting powered.
      Here is the original BIOS dump from the 25R256JVEN chip.
