    VIZIO E470VA Dead

    I have this 47" Vizio that shows no signs of life. No indicator light, no video, audio, nothing.
    Checked power supply, no voltage out of any of the connector pins and no voltage for PS ON. Checked on the cold side of the transformers - no voltage.
    Went to hot side, checked voltages at rectifier - found 60V, 120V, 0V, 60 V respectively from left to right.
    I will post pics later for this unit but just wondering if anyone might have a schematic for this power supply. I know it is dead, just need to know where it died.

    Re: VIZIO E470VA Dead

    Update to my dead Vizio. I am uploading pictures of the set. There seems to be no voltage from the power supply to anything. All voltages including PS ON is 0VDC. I would like to troubleshoot the power supply if that is where I should be. There is no screen, not even VIZIO logo lighting. Dead.

      When you make measurement in the Primary side you do not use chassis/safety Gnd as a ref. for your meter, the Negative leg of the main filter cap is the GND ref. for the Primary circuit. For Primary AC measurement, you will measure between Line and Neutral.
      So what DCV do you have when you measure between the two legs of the main filter caps.

        If you have no yellow Vizio logo lighted then you have no 5vdc. Trouble shoot that sircuit 1st, then see if set will turn on from there.

          Okay I checked the DC voltage across the 68uF 450V caps and it measured at 165 VDC. I also have a new observation. When I first plug the unit in, the VIZIO logo lights for a moment and then goes out. Also 5V found on PS ON for that same duration.
          budm, thank you for the ground tip. I was measuring from the chassis for all my measurements. So when I am checking primary side, best spot is on -ve leg of filter caps?
          Where to from here?

            So the standby 5.2V is no longer there?
            So none of the pins have any DCV at all for sure?

            It seems to me that the standby 5V was there and then disappear otherwise you will not see the VIZIO logo comes on at all.
            It may be EEPROM problem.

              Re: VIZIO E470VA Dead

              Hi budm. As I said in post #5, the 5V can be seen on PS ON but only for the exact same amount of time as the VISIO logo lighting up. After that, it is gone. No other power that I can see.

              Can this be repaired at the component level? What else can I check?

                I am not looking for PS-ON signal, I am looking for the standby 5.2V to see if it is present and stable or not, no steady standby 5.2V then nothing will work.
                So per your statement "No other power that I can see" so the 5.2V appears and then disappear at the 5.2V pins?

                  Re: VIZIO E470VA Dead

                  I am sorry budm, I am fairly new to this so I hope you have some patience. I measured the 5.2V terminals, which are the top two in the connector as I turned the set on. It came right up to 5.09 v right away and then dissipated down to 1V when the logo shut off. After that it slowly drained down to nothing. I tried it again with the control board disconnected and it did the same thing, but took longer to do so. I will recheck my other voltages as I power it up and see what comes up.

                  EDIT: Here is what I found on each terminal as I powered the set up.
                  5.2 -> 5.1 and then dissipates down near zero
                  5.2 -> 5.1 and then dissipates down near zero
                  PS ON -> 4.92 and then dissipates
                  24 -> 24.87 and then dissipates
                  24 -> 24.87 and then dissipates
                  12 -> 11.82 and then dissipates
                  12 -> 11.82 and then dissipates
                  DIM -> 3.4 and then dissipates
                  ON_OFF -> 0.5 and then dissipates

                  Hope this helps

                    "It came right up to 5.09 v right away and then dissipated down to 1V " OK, that is not normal, the STANDBY 5.2V is an always on power supply that is running 24/7 hwne you have the TV plugged into the outlet. So it is either there is problem in the standby pwoer supply or the main board is load the standby power supply.
                    You can try this quick test, unplug the TV from the outlet, then heat that section I marked with hair dryer for 2~3 minutes, then plug the TV in and monitor the 5.2VDC pin, then turn the TV and see if the 5.2V will stay on at 5.2VDC. When STBY power supply drops out, every thing will drop out with it.

                      Budm, you are a genius. I'm not sure what we just did, but it works! I heated that section of the board up for three minutes to about 130 degrees, plugged it in and 5.02VDC right on the nose. Pushed the On button and the screen sprang to life and No Signal started dancing around the screen. Very cool.
                      Okay, so what did we just do, and how do I fix it from here? Was that the 5.2V power supply section?
                      One other question. What are the components that look like diodes and are marked FB10x? I can't see any markings on any of them.

                        The circled area by budm has a startup capacitor that is feeding the SMPS IC (7 pin IC). That capacitor likely has high ESR. By warming it up, the capacitor's ESR is lowered allowing the circuit to work.

                        Replace the capacitor with a Panasonic FC or FM capacitor from a reputable distributor like mouser or digikey.

                        FB = ferrite bead.

                          Thank you retired caps. After I went back and looked at the board, I figured it had to be the cap or the VIPER27 controller he was after. How does one figure out such a thing? Experience?
                          I will replace the cap tomorrow and see if it fixes the problem. I will post back when it is done.

                            Well, budm has close to 20,000 posts, he volunteers every Saturday at some electronics recycling depot and over 20+ years of electronics so he knows what to troubleshoot first.

                            When you don't have standby voltage, it quickly narrows down the list of culprits. I personally would have measured the voltage across the startup cap. If it didn't measure around 14V, I would have replaced the cap with a Panasonic FC.

                            My guess is this cap is 22uF 50V. Most startup capacitors are either 10uF, 22uF or 47uF.

                            Since almost every consumer electronic device has a SMPS, it pays to know how they work and troubleshoot one.

                              PS. You can learn a lot by participating in remote troubleshooting or following a regular member's posts. You have to rely on observation, communication, deduction and other skills to be really good.

                              When I started, I read, everything that PlainBill wrote and learned a lot.

                                I have been reading a lot on SMPS and just got Justine Yangs book on SMPS. Not sure how good it is but it's a start. I'm sure like everyone else, it is a lot of time and experience. The cap is a 10uF 50V capacitor. I only have Phillips (old stock) and jamicon caps here right now or I would fix it right away. I will pick up some Panasonic caps tomorrow from my local supplier.

                                  Yes. I also recommend you using clips so you probe hands free on the hot side. Or at minimum one clip on the negative leg of the large capacitor so that you can keep one hand behind your back.

                                  An "oops" moment on the hot side will often lead to bad consequences.

                                    As a test, you can whack in any of the above and it should work temporarily.

                                      I have been doing automotive DC electrical since I was a kid and did electronics when I was young as well. My brother who was an electrician taught me well on the dangers of Ac voltage and how to handle it so I take the utmost care when measuring and usually try to do it hands free where possible. Hydro guys taught me to keep left hand in pocket and so it goes. Have a few years left and plan on living them so thanks for the heads up. I use CAT III probes and insulated clips like the ones above. I also have bckprobes I use for cold side.

                                        BTW, the value of the startup cap, for test purposes, doesn't have to be exactly 10uF. It can be 22uF or even 47uF. You can even go down in voltage to 25V since the datasheet for the viper27 calls for a typical 14V start voltage (max 15V). A 16V cap, however, might be too low.

                                        When I'm troubleshooting, I usually whack in what is close enough to see if that is the culprit and then, if it is working, I get the correct replacement.

                                          Vizio E65-F0 really dead
                                          by Iain P
                                          Hi everybody!

                                          I've got a Vizio E65-F0 smart tv that is good and dead. It shows no signs of life when I press the power button on the back. The power LED in the lower right corner doesn't light, there is no backlight and no picture.

                                          So I took the back off and started poking around figuring one or more of the caps had dried out. My esr meter says all the caps on the power supply board and the mainboard are less than 1 ohm.

                                          I decided to check the voltages coming off the power supply they are as follows:

                                          connector CN201
                                          pin 1 (18vsb1)...

                                          Magnum IA.100 Amplifier Switches on, No Output, Possible Input Side fault?
                                          by flibidy
                                          I have here a Magnum IA.100 which belongs to my parents.



                                          The unit powers on & when the relay kicks in, you get a pop from the speakers (this might sound weird but is usual behavior for this amp). However, you get nothing coming through it from any of the inputs & no pops and crackls from any of the controls.


                                          Because of the sound from the speaker when the amp turns on I have assumed that the output section probably works but I could be wrong & I'm not sure how to test that side of things further.

                                          Dead Vizio D40u-D1
                                          by catnapped
                                          Recently had my bedroom Vizio D40u-D1 apparently die while it wasn't being used. Noticed the power LED flashing, figuring maybe a software upgrade, but attempting to turn it on proved that wasn't the case. When powered on, the power LED will flash a bunch of times after about 2 minutes then turn off again. Definitely is no picture even with a flashlight on the screen. Had the opportunity to open it up over the weekend. Doesn't apper to be anything out of the ordinary visibly inside, nor any odd smells of escaped magic smoke. Readings from the connector in the corner of the power supply board...

                                          Vizio D50u-D1 Dead: PSU or Main Board?
                                          by fharris1977
                                          Hi. Anyone who has experience with these vizio sets, which pin on this connector is the standby, the 5V pin? Trying to rule out the PSU before ordering a mainboard. I'm getting 0 Volts on all pins on this connector. Trying to jump the standby and PS ON pins to see if the PSU is functioning. Thanks in advance.

                                          hey folks,

                                          any idea where those pads are lead to? maybe the southbridge? hopefully not the apu. the fuses are ok. the shorted side is marked with an arrow.

                                          thx...
