    VX42L Has standby power but wont turn on.

    Hello all, first post but I do want to say I have done some reading before I decided to post.

    Any ways i have a vx42l tv that has amber light vizio logo but no response from power button. I do not have the remote as well.

    So i took the back off the tv and it has one power supply, main board, tcon board and on big back light inverter on the left side of the tv. (as far as big boards go)

    So after reading i tested standby by voltage with power hooked up and got 5v from the meter.(all boards connected)

    I then went to the main board and check f1 and got 5vs, went to f2 which i believe should give out voltage as well and read nothing. I also held the power button down and still no voltage from f2. I checked continuity on f2 and its good.

    So does this lead me to a bad main board? since the power supply on signal is not being sent?

    I also read something about a u33 but i believe thats for when the vizio logo lights up white and no picture?

    EDIT: I test u7,u8,u9, u33 pin 2 and u7 and u9 were really low the others were around 3.26. These are the 3 pin ic

    Thanks for your help in advance.

      I think you're on the right track. I don't deal much with Vizio LCD TVs, so I'll let someone else respond. Free bump

          You are likely to get more help if you post good clear pictures of your boards
          a lot of us out here have no idea what you are talking about. The U ics are usually voltage regulators and they have clues in the part numbers as to what voltage they should be. Also test the voltage on any supporting caps.

                  Re: VX42L Has standby power but wont turn on.

                  I just got done working on one of these Vizio VX42L and the LOGO would turn white when I press power but the screen would not come on and the TV would not turn off. Most of the time when this happens it is a voltage regulator on the main board but with this model it was the EEPROM IC. So I ordered an EEPROM IC for this model TV, I copied it to my computer and tried to rewrite to the old EEPROM but it did not work, I am guessing the IC was faulty. So I went ahead and installed the new EEPROM IC and now the TV works perfect. The EEPROM IC is located at U14

                  Symptoms EEPROM replacement MAY fix:
                  - On screen display is stuck on logo screen
                  - TV won't power on with remote or buttons (LED indicator remains same color)
                  - TV won't turn on after being off for 30+ minutes
                  - TV shuts off by itself during channel scan or when switching inputs
                  - TV turns on and is stuck in color test pattern mode forever
                  - TV turns on but there is no backlight (LED indicator shows TV is on but there is no image)

                      hey, i have the similar issue. Where can i get this EEPROM at? I have checked ebay and google-ed
                      VX42L
                      mainboard: 0171-2272-2293 (3C)

                      And which IC is it?

                      thanks in advance

                                      Post a high resolution, straight shot picture of your main board.

                                          maybe this kit? send them a email i think the ic you need is u14 as this kit maybe just voltage regulators

                                              hopefully either shane711 or even ecking767 will see this thread and let you know where you can buy one from.

                                                  I see the post but I have not been to my shop yet to check if I have it. If I don't you could always remove the IC and send it to me and then I can make you a new one.

                                                      I can not find the EEPROM for your TV in my stock so if you can remove the IC and ship it to me I can make you a new one. Or you would have to ship me the whole board. Send me a private message.

                                                          what tests have you done on this tv? whats seems wrong with the tv? as similar faults dont always mean the same parts are bad.

                                                              If the EEPROM is bad, at least go freeze it with a can of air upside down. If the TV turns on, your got a EEPROM problem. If it still doesn't the change has gone awfully high that the main IC is bad.

                                                                  Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                                                  I am dealing with the problem of turning on and off my Dell e7470 notebook.

                                                                  The battery charge light is solid white, I press the button, the power indicator and the light on the button are solid for 1-2 seconds and immediately turn off.

                                                                  The system does not turn on, there is no post.

                                                                  I removed the RAMs and changed them, changed the battery, RTC battery, AC adapter, removed them and waited, tried again, it does not turn on.
                                                                  The problem continues in the same way.
                                                                  I tried to turn on the Fn key, nothing came to the screen....

                                                                  by Doodle43
                                                                  My Samsung LN32B540 never turned back on after I had to turn off the power at the mains at house. It won't turn on, but the red standby led lights up when it is plugged in. If I hold down the power on the remote, the standby light turns off which I think means it is trying to turn on, but there's no sound or backlight. If I try to turn it on/off from the power button on the TV instead, it doesn't do anything at all.

                                                                  It was plugged into a surge suppressor and was off (on standby) when I turned off the power,, so I don't know if it got a power surge or was on its way out anyway. I...

                                                                  by SkishyIshy
                                                                  Hey All,

                                                                  I have a Sony 65x900f that I purchased cheap because of a no-power issue.
                                                                  I assumed that because there is no standby light visible, it would be an easy fix - however upon opening up of the unit I can confirm that the 3v3 standby voltage is making it's way from the power supply to the main board. I'm a little confused as to why there is no standby light.

                                                                  I am firstly wondering if anyone has this model of TV, or has worked on one and can give me some insight. I have tried to find a service manual for this model, to no avail - and would really appreciate...

                                                                  UN65MU8000FXZA

                                                                  Here's what I've looked at:
