    Another VIZIO E470VA blank screen

    Hi
    I found the forum while searching for help troubleshooting a TV that was given to me... in particular this thread....
    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=44112
    I've pretty much followed everything through the thread, got correct voltages coming from the power supply board, etc. but I discovered that F701 is blown... the last post in the thread said to check that fuse, that it is 5A, but that is where it stopped... now the next step is to verify the fuse size, replace it, and see if it holds... if so, good to go, if not, find out why.

    First off, does anyone have a schematic or diagram for this model? As much as I'd like to trust the word of a fellow forum member regarding the fuse value, I'd like to be absolutely sure...

    I've uploaded pics... don't be alarmed by the rusty condition of the covers on the main and T-Con boards, the TV came from a very salty, humid environment... Of course, this could have had a hand in blowing the fuse, but I've inspected everything quite thoroughly and it all looks pretty good under the covers. There isn't any actual water damage or any sign of excess moisture.

    I would check the load side of the fuse against GND to see if it shows very low resistance that is bad enough to blow the 5A fuse.
    You can temporary us 5A fuse for car (just solder two wires to the leg of the fuse) just to see if the TV willl work after checking the resistance I mention above.

      Thanks for the quick response...
      Load side is open to ground, so we're good there...
      I'll look through my stash ad see if I have a 5A fuse lying around... otherwise I found 5A nano fuses on Allied electronics for cheap... should be here by Friday which is the ext time I'll be able to work on it anyways.

        Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
        by spice_disc
        I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

        The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

        Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
        by Ryan.man
        Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

        My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

        This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

        Vizio V585-J11 & V585-H11 Blank or tie-die image on screen
        by mecha1166
        Hello, we have 4-6 of these sets now. All have blank screens, or slow-moving colors (looks like tie-die shirt). Some have narrow white lines and color around it.
        We have tried a new main and several tcons (2 exact and 2 similar). Same thing. Probably a panel - has anyone had this issue? These are fairly new sets, all but one came from rental.I own one, it was junked out. I tried searching for this model in forums but the search showed no threads for this model number. Thanks for any input!

        HP Elitebook Screen blank - backlights but no image
        by dicky96
        Hi guys
        I'm trying to fix this laptop screen

        Basically the owner is a computer shop and they brought it to me with two screens. They said the repair shop they use could not fix it, so I thought i would try to see if I am better than their current repairer!

        OK so I have the original screen which works but has lines across the bottom quarter of the screen

        I have the replacement screen, which they fitted and it worked. They then put the laptop on one side for a couple of weeks until they found a buyer. When they showed it to the buyer, the screen would...
