    Vizio e470va No Picture

    I have a Vizeio e470va that has backlight but no picture.

    When I turn it on, I get nothing on the screen but the bezel light “VIZIO” will light up bright for the duration of the TV being on.

    About a second after the bezel lights up, the backlight will come on for about 3 seconds. During this time, the blue LED on the inverter board will come on but then will fade out after approx. 3 seconds.

    As soon and the blue light fades out, the backlight turns off for about a half a second and then then back on.

    a. The bezel light is on the entire time
    b. The blue LED comes back on and fades out after the 3 seconds

    At this point it's done doing anything and will sit like this (Bezel light on, back light on, LED not lighted on inverter).

    I have checked the voltages on the power board and at the inverter to ensure power is flowing. All seem ok. I also checked voltages coming from the main board to the T-CON. All seem ok except I couldn't get a reading on the fuse on the T-CON (see photo)



    When I check it, it reads no voltage but has continuity when powered off. I was able get a measurement on one of the small caps under the cage of the T-CON close to the fuse and it read 1.8v.

    The TV i have and the problem are identical to the one here https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=38729 except he got a reading on the fuse on the T-CON and I didn't. My journey stopped there. Any ideas?

    No voltage at either side of the fuse when the set is on?

      Can we see a pic of the back side of the TV with all boards connected?

        you will not get any voltage to the T CON unless all systems go on the main board. Have you checked all your 3 pin LDO voltage regulators to make sure that they're all out putting a specific voltage? These are located on the mainboard
        Did I leave the soldering iron on?

          Correct. None on either side.

              Checked the voltages on the 2 volt regs on the main board. both were only outputting 0.39v?

                what are the voltages on all 3 pins of both regulators?

                  did you check the data sheet for those voltage regulators?, .39 seems off, maybe double check, make sure your reading them correctly.

                    yes I worked on these also before and usually what I have found is this particular board that is installed in this model and 42Inch version are known to corrupt EEPROMs
                    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                      According to the datasheet G9084 is adjustable with voltages of 1.5V,
                      1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5.0V.

                      This is what i'm getting...

                      Pin 1 is ADJ/GND 0.00

                      Pin 2 is V out = 0.00

                      Pin 3 is V In = 0.39 v

                          something wrong for sure, I'm having messed up readings on my samsung too, but I don't know what it means.

                            They are not adjustable, they are fixed output, the base part number will be followed by for I.E. 18 = 1.8V fixed output. The adjustable version will not have V rating after the base P/N.
                            You are not going to get any out put when the input is only 0.39V.
                            You need to find out if the main board is sending the PSON to turn on the rest of the power supply first, if the power supplies are not turn on, then that may be the reason you are not getting the input voltage to the regulators.
                            BTW, there are more than 2 regulator ICs that I can see from the SJ pictures.

                              I noticed that the VIZIO logo in the front does not glow amber when plugged in. It only glows white when I push the power button on the side. I'm assuming that means that there is no standby power? Would this be an indication of no PSON signal? If not, what is the best way to test if the main board is sending the PSON signal?

                                Some vizio TV's don't power the logo in stby or have an option to turn it off in menu.

                                It has to have Stby volts or it would not work enough to light the logo at all.

                                Best way to test ps-on is at the PSU connector labled PS-on or ON/Off. You are looking for voltage to change when power button is pressed to turn on. You will need a DMM.

                                A better pic of PSU would help.

                                  Have you try measuring the voltage on pin 49 of CN408 (T-CON CONNECTOR) on the main board with the T-CON cable disconnected?

                                    I'd be tempted to try a different mainboard, firmware may be corrupt, might be an eeprom issue, wonder if theres a mainboard repair kit for it?

                                      It has to have Stby volts or it would not work enough to light the logo at all.

                                      Best way to test ps-on is at the PSU connector labled PS-on or ON/Off. You are looking for voltage to change when power button is pressed to turn on. You will need a DMM.

                                      A better pic of PSU would help.

                                      Before powered on, the voltage is 0v at the ON/OFF pin going to the inverter board (with the blue LED). When I power it on the voltage jumps to 5.03 and remains there. There's also a PS/On pin on the other side of the power board going out to the main board. It shows a consistent 4.78v.

                                        OK, the standby power supply is working and the main board is sending out the ps_on a and the bl-on, so now you need to check the dcV on the main filter cap's legs to see if it has >360Vdc on its two legs, you need that for the power supply to produce 12V for the main board and 24V for the inverter board.
                                        Do not touch anything with your hands or body.

                                          Hi people!!
                                          The owner said it showed bad picture once in a while (attached)
                                          I see that there is back light but no picture.
                                          I want to ask if it is possible to disable the NVIDIA GPU and use the intel one?

                                          Hey guys,
                                          I have a Vizio P502ui-B1E with no display activity at all with the power light on. It broke in a very specific way, and now exhibits strange behavior when turned on (slow response to power off command, restarts every 90 sec, more below), so I'm hoping that someone with experience working on this TV can point me in the right direction.

                                          I already tried the 2 most common fixes with no luck:
                                          - Replacing the T-Con board.
                                          - Re-flashing the firmware on the U202 chip (from here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?p=840012)

                                          Here's exactly...

                                          Hello, i am working on Vizio M70-C3. It can hardly power on, it takes 15 power button presses or remote. Seems like eeprom problem that I seen before but all reading online says that this tv has power board or main board problem.

                                          When tv powers on vizio V logo shows nice on whole screen. picture 1
                                          When it goes into tv mode it only shows good picture on left side of screen, right is all scrabbled up. pic 2
                                          When i start youtube picture shows on left side fine, right is all scrambled. pic 2

                                          Samsung UN60F8000BFXZA ~ No Picture or Sound - 5 Res Light Blinks

                                          Hello all ~

                                          I’m working on this Samsung 60” LED and purchased a new main board a couple of days ago that did not fix the 5 blink issue. The original main board’s HDMI ports (all 4 of them) failed to work and no amount of reflow remedied that.

                                          This 5 red light blink code on the front panel LED is followed (about 15-20 seconds afterward) by an automatic reboot, and results in 5 more red light blinks. Then the entire cycle repeats itself indefinitely.

                                          No picture. No sound.

                                          I tested all the voltages coming out of the power supply...
