    Vizio M470SL Issues

    This one is driving me nuts! Unit powers up with remote and manually. I get the backlight, no picture or menu. I've replaced the Power Supply and been through 2 Main Boards (I'm suspecting that the main board may be faulty). I am now going to try a LED Driver, but really don't know how that could be the issue.

    Should I try another PS, or try a Main Board? None of the regular suppliers have Main Board's available so I do believe it could be faulty, maybe try a 3rd?

    Does anyone know how to access firmware for Vizio? I would like to try a new firmware download?

      How about the T-CON board? Or it is one of those panel with integrated T-CON?
      'I get the backlight' That means the backlights circuits and lights are OK.

          Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
          by jb_Bak
          Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

          Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
          Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
          CN6401
          Pin 01 NC
          Pin 02 NC
          Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
          Pin 04 "N/C"
          Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
          Pin 06 "GND": N/C
          Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

          Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
          by spice_disc
          I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

          The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

          A2141 (2019 16" MB Pro) Strange macOS install issues. NAND? WIFI? FIRMWARE?
          by duwane
          Hi All.

          Sorry ahead of time for the text wall. This is a strange problem and I have tried to explain it as best I can. I realise this is a hardware forum (mostly), but I am still not sure if this is even a hardware fault! I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me in the area of understanding installation logs, or someone that has had a similar issue in the past may have some ideas of what might be causing this.

          The issue:
          Unable to do a clean install of any macOS versions supported for this model, even after fully erasing and formatting the internal SSD,...

          Vizio D50-F1 - Can't update Software / Firmware
          by jason123
          Wondering if any of you have seen this before. I got this TV with lower half of the screen dim. Fixed the LED backlight issue - smooth

          I noticed that the System update lists current firmware is V1.0.6 and is able to find on the Vizio server 2.60.23-1... it downloads fully.. but instead of restarting, it just goes back to the previous screen "NO SIGNAL - HDMI1"

          I got the code and followed the update via flash drive - and it does exactly the same thing. Firmware is copied by the TV 100%, and then nothing - instead of restarting, it just goes back to the previous...
