Hey all
Been awhile since I have posted, TV repair has been on hold for me since other things have taken over.
I am trying to finish up some back stock I have left.
Anyway I have 2 of these panels, and both of them are doing the same exact thing.
When powered on the panel functions perfectly fine and in (about 10-30 min later give or take) the display becomes corrupt, audio cuts out, starts squealing, pink noise ect and the buttons/remote become un responsive and the unit has to be unplugged.
After I unplug it and plug it back in it will function 100% fine and the issue will not comeback unless the panel has been powered off for a while.
I am guessing it is a bad mainboard/EEPROM but the mainboard version I have in both of these panels is the one that cannot be changed (talk about luck).
So I assume I will need a new mainboard, but has anyone experienced similar issues with these series of Vizio panels? I would like to find out how to prevent this from happening again.
I know vizio likes to encase their mainboards behind a stupid metal box/shield that traps heat like crazy, I am working if I drill some more vent holes in the top of that would help keep the heat off the main.
Anyway, all the voltages are correct, nothing seems off about them, I did not get to a component level but the SMPS, CCFL inverter and standby and power voltages were all present.
thanks!
