My issue is no picture. When turning on the TV, the screen will show the VIZIO logo on the screen, but will immediately go black. The LED back light seems to die suddenly. I tried the flashlight trick, but no picture is being shown that I could see. I have sound, the led indicator light on the front is working. I took the back off and looked for bulging caps or burn marks, but there are no signs of damaged parts. I have not checked any voltages from the power supply yet, but I intend too when I get time. I believe the LED Driver board is built into the power supply, so could that be the culprit? Any help and advice is welcome. Thanks

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
If one or more of the led's failed, then PSU will sense problem and shut down B/light circuit. Or a short in the wiring.
I'm working on a Westinghouse that has three bad led's on one strip. PSU shuts down B/light circuit but not the other voltages. So it still has sound and pic, just cant see it.
Edit I've tried the flashlight trick, didn't seem to work for me. Now I use a 250 watt halogen lamp if it's got a picture then I can see it.Last edited by MagicSmoke; 02-10-2015, 07:29 PM.Comment

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
Check the DC Voltages on the LED+ pins of that 4-pin connector when you first turn on the TV to see if there is any LED drive Voltage on the pins.
That section of the board looks like it got hot.
There are two large electrolytics caps (c??4), what are their Voltage ratings? I believe they are the filter caps for the boosted voltage power supply for the LEDs.Never stop learning

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
Led1- : 10.5v
Led1+ : 66.7v
Led2- : 4.6v
Led2+ : 66.7
The led+ readings started much higher like 100+ volts but started to decrease and settle at 66.7v.Comment

The caps are C304 and C404 both 200v 47uf. I noticed the TV seems to shut off after about 10 minutes.Comment

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
That sounds like you have open LEDs that is why the Voltage went up high (no load due to open LED) and then it goes into protection mode.Never stop learning

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
So, what you are saying is I need to replace the string of LEDs in the panel? Or find the open and repair it? What level of difficulty is this?Comment

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
It depends on how the panel is put together, definitely not for beginner.
Once you get to the LED assemblies then you will test one by one or you may be able to see the bad one that has sign of over heating.
Failed LEDs are very common for these LED backlghts TV, it is so sad that they do want to build something that last any more.Never stop learning

This TV is only 2 years old. Manufactured in 2013. Sam's club special, but no warranty still valid. I feel duped.Comment

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
Taking the panel apart and then reassembling it requires a lot of patience, otherwise it will crack.
Some like the westinghouse I just fixed use the front bezel to hold the panel to the chassis. If I had not looked and been cautious then the panel would have slid out and cracked. The 39" panel was all I wanted to handle by myself, I would not try a 50" without good help.
Some hold in with plastic strips, I'm sure there are a lot of variations.
The 2nd main thing is to be careful of the tabs bonded to the panel, any damage or dislocation renders panel inoperative.
It can be done, replacing individual led's on the strips is not easy, it is much simpler just to replace the bad strip/s.
And it's not just the bargain TV's doing it, some of the high end Samsungs, Vizio's and others have similar problems.
It looks like you can try to jumper the PS-on and BL-on to 5v Stby to see if B/light will stay on or still shuts off. If it stays on then might be eeprom related but if it shuts off then led's are bad or similar fault.Last edited by MagicSmoke; 02-20-2015, 08:18 PM.Comment

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
For some reason, the backlight has quit all together. At first, the backlight would show a picture (the VIZIO emblem) for a quick couple of seconds, then disappear. Now no backlight at all.Comment

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
With my TV plugged in and powered on I get a rolling 120-130volts at both LED+, if I unplug the backlights the voltage doesn't change so I can only assume the backlights are shot, any input? with the backlights plugged in they strobe every 2 seconds or so.Comment

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
Looks like another case of Led failure from what you say.Willing to help but I'm no expert.Comment

Re: VIZIO E500i-A0 No Picture With Sound
I just checked negative (-) and I get minimal rolling power there as well, LED1 - 50-42, and LED2 50-29 rolling, definitely think it needs new LEDS. any idea where I can get the LEDS reasonable for my make and model screen LG LC500DUG-JFR1?Comment

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?by Tynan DillI 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.

by ggil44Hi I inherited a Vizio M65-E0 that isn't working. It must have been dropped on the corner because I found that the infrared circuit had a capacitor with one end broken off of the board and some green corrosion around the plug to the main board. I re-soldered the capacitor and cleaned the corrosion well and tried turning the M65-E0 on and I was successful. My problem is that while the back lights come on and appear to perform local dimming there is no picture or sound. It kind of looks like you are looking at the TV through a very dense fog, where changing the input on the remote will change bright...

by TR103Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
- sound and backlight, but no picture
- when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
- it keeps rebooting
- without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
- without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
- when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

by jord4231Hi Everyone,
I'm working on a Toshiba 37AV500A Regza TV.
The issue:
TV was working picture and sound went out. Green stand by light stayed on, It will respond to the power button being pressed (goes in and out of standby)
The TV will very intermittently work for around 40 mins then stop. This doesn't seem to matter if its hot/cold unplugged for a while etc.
I checked the PSU voltages and everything looked good.
No bulging caps or signs of heat.
24v aud = 24.41v
12v = 11.98v
5v = 5.062

by MgiffuneI have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started βfading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.
I ordered a supposedly βnew' Tcon board this time, and... - Loading...
