VIZIO VOJ320F1A INVERTER voltage regulator fried.

[hawaiianeye]

got 2 of these VOJ320F1A tv's and was able to diagnose by process of elimination that one of them had a bad Inverter. after looking at the inverter, i noticed one of the voltage regulators is badly burned.

what are the odds that just replacing this voltage regulator will fix this inverter?
i could only find one seller on ebay with the regulator and they want 5$ for it.
the replacement inverter is 35$
i looked on digikey but i couldnt find the regulator.
is it just not there, or am i searching wrong?

numbers on the inverter: 4h+v2258.131
numbers on the regulator: p1504edg

also i cant seem to find a service manual for this TV

thanks for any help!

it's not a regulator, it's a fet.

thanks man. hey is there a chart somewhere that has pictures of all the different components and what they are called so i dont go calling fets regulators anymore?

...and this isnt a site i can buy one from is it?


and will i have to replace the capacitor next to it?

There is no chart in the sense, you need to look up the P/N to find out what they are.
I would check resistance of all pins against GND to see if they show low resistance. You also need to check the one next to it since the MOSFETs are set up as a bridge drive, plus check the inverter transformers also. The caps should also be replaced.
Something burnt out this bad you may be better off with new board.

yeah this board seems pretty common i think ill just wait to find another working one
