    Vizio VT420M No Back Light

    I have a Vizio VT420M that has the orange vizio light when turned on and no backlight. Here are the voltages reading on the power supply/main board connector CN9102.

    OFF:
    o/f-.001
    PDIM-.000
    12vdc-.072
    12vdc-.072
    GND-0
    GND-0
    GND-0
    24vdc-.006
    24vdc-.006
    PS_ON-0
    5vdc-5.14
    5vdc-5.14

    ON
    o/f-.095
    PDIM-3.641
    12vdc-11.43
    12vdc-11.43
    GND-0
    GND-0
    GND-0
    24vdc-23.30
    24vdc-23.30
    PS_ON-4.99
    5vdc-5.12
    5vdc-5.12

    I have tried to short the 5v line to the o/f pin with the main board pin disconnected with a 1k resistor and no luck getting the back light to turn on. The o/f pin end of the resistor shows 1.44vdc with it connected to the o/f pin and disconnected shows just under 5vdc. almost like something is drawing it down. Anyone have any suggestions of what to try? I am leading to the main board but am open to ideas. Thanks in advance.

    How about the pictures of the whole back side of the TV to see how all the boards are connected together?
