    Vizio VW42l wont come on. No 12 volts

    I am new to this board, didn't even know it existed until several days ago.
    I have been following several threads that are going on in the TV troubleshooting Forum,
    and am very impressed with the amount of technical expertise that is evident here.
    Now to my question. I have a Vizio Model vw42l unit that I am trying to fix for my son.
    When I try to power it up with the power on button, nothing happens. No logo light or back
    light. On checking the voltages on the main board, I have no 12v supply. I have checked the
    fuses and they are both good. Fuse F1 has 5.17v on both sides, but F2 has 0 volts on both
    sides. I do not have a schematic so I dont know where to go from here. Regulator U44 has
    no voltage on any pins. Does anyone know where I should start looking? (Sorry about the
    photos, I tried three cameras)


    Board # 0171-2272-2434

    Outputs going to main board:
    PSON = 0.00
    12V = 0.00
    SGND = .00v
    5V = 5.17v
    A = 0.00
    B = 0.00


    Inverter Board:
    Fuse tested good

    Main Board:
    Both fuses tested good.
    One fuse has 5.17 on both sides of fuse
    The other fuse has 2 v on both sides


    Voltage Regulators:

    No PS-ON from the main board to turn on the power supply, A/B for BL-ON and DIM are also missing.
    How about uploading good clear pictures of the whole back side of the TV so we can see all the boards and then the pictures of each board?
    Is that ALL of the regulator ICs on the main board?

      Originally you'd plug power supply into it and it would take up to 1.2 amps and then drop to 200 milliamps and then go back up again to 1.2, staying all the while at 5 volts. Pressing power button would results in power LED blinking amber 3 times. 3.3 volt rail, 5.1 volt rail present, main power rail 8.8 volts. Power button test pads near EC chip 2.7 volts.

      I found a short on the other side:

      Vizio M65-C1
      by mrtek
      Hi.

      picked up another TV. This time is a Vizio M65-C1. TV does not turn on. I had repaired another 60 inch vizio , Bad main board.
      When power button is pressed, the Power led indicator on the bottom right, turns for a few seconds and then it fades away. No backlight or Vizio logo on screen. Removed back cover and repeated test.
      This is the TV This TV is a little different from the Samsung I have worked on. Power supply is on the Left side, Main Bd is on the right side, T-CON , not in the picture is on the bottom. I am assuming that the boards in the middle are the LED...

      HP 15dy-2021nr wont power on mystery volts
      by supermattch
      Hi everyone.

      I am diagnosing my personal laptop, because it wont power on and no leds light up.

      At the dc-in there are 8 pins, 1 and 2 shows healthy 19.66 volts. The next three are ground, but the 6th one shows .283 volts. This is strange to me, it should be 3.3 or 5 or aome volts not 0.283v. As I am new to this, I would like some guidance. Please someone advise me on what to check next.

      Oh the boardview and schematics I am using is for a similar model as I cannot find the proper one anywhere. Quanta DA0P5HMB8F1 rev F. Nowhere on the internet.

      Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel
      by howardc64
      Failure Symptom



      No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

      Where is the short?

      Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



      Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...

      PS5 digital / No Power / No Beep / Good power supply
      by MisterAIL
      Hi everyone,

      Brought a non functionnal PS5. Apparently only a bad PSU...
      No beep, nothing.

      After some tests i found this :
      - PSU is fine (12 volts stable)
      - 12 volts line is shorted
      - DA9065 was fried, F7003 also => Replaced both of them, short is gone on 12 volts line, no dead short anywhere else.
      - By the way, nothing change. No signal, no power, no beep.

      Mesuring all rails with my workbench psu (12 volts input)
      - 0.00 amp drawing
      - 12 volts, 5 volts, 2 volts, 1,15 volts are presents (suppose new DA9065 do is...
