    One thing I do not know about the ACDET signal on this board if it it is LOW (<1vdc) ACV feeding the TV is GOOD (within the ac opersting range for the TV) and goes HIGH if the AC LEVEL is out of range, or if it is HIGH (>2.5vdc) when the AC feeding the TV is good and it goes LOW when AC is bad.
    But I would expect the PS-ON to go low to shutdown the power supply if the ACDET detects problem.
    So if you indicate that the PS-ON is present (>2.5VDC) but you do not have the switched 12VDC or the switched 24VDC, then you have power supply problem.

      BTW, I notice that there are cables between the LED driver board and the main board, so there may be some error signal from the LED driver to the main board.
      But if there is any error then I do not expect the PS-ON to be present when error occurs.
      CN2 on the LED driver board does not have any labels to show the pin functions.

        Replaced the led driver board with one from shop jimmy and still same issue. I am wondering if it could be a led problem even though I verified all of them firing.

          VIZIO M557-G0: Backlights or ???
          by bpcannan
          'Morning,
          I get sound and picture when powering on the TV and its stays that EXCEPT that the left half of the screen will dim every few seconds then return to normal while the right side of the screen performs as designed.

          Did the soft and hard reset options pulling the plug, using the reet option in the vizio menu to no avail.

          I checked the mainboard - found some popped capacitors so replaced it - but that did not change the situation.

          I checked the t-con board. It is getting good power. Then I removed one ribbon cable to see if I could isolate...

          Vizio-D50u-D1 Pulsating Backlights
          by csmith
          This Vizio came in the shop with no backlights. Replaced all the strips with replacement from Shop Jimmy. Set now has backlights but lights pulsate on left side. Half the screen brightens up then goes to normal then repeats.
          Am I looking at a defective strip? Thanks in advance.

          Vizio E48-D0 Backlight flash, backlights/connections confirmed good.
          by DXseekerMO
          Hello everyone, I've had this TV for almost 6 months now, just sitting in the fix-it room and it would be great to get this finished up.

          It sounds like the typical Vizio complaint….hit the power button, backlights flash, image on screen but no picture with sound…so what do I do? Order backlights from SJ without taking a single voltage reading. Apparently my “jaundiced eye” over-rode my need to do a diagnostic. This was a mistake.

          Install SJ backlights….problem still exists. Check all connections and connectors….no happy. When the backlights flash…they...

          [Help] Lenovo Yoga Slim 7-14ARE05 (DA0LS3MBAF0) – 25Q80DVN1G Flash Is All FF, USB-C PD Stuck at 5V
          by ekozeko333
          Hi all,
          I’m trying to recover a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7-14ARE05 with board DA0LS3MBAF0 Rev:F. I’ve run into an unusual issue where USB-C PD is stuck at 4.7–5V and the system won’t boot (keyboard lights flash briefly, then nothing).
          🔥 The Problem Started After Suspected ESD/PD Fault
          I experienced a power issue or ESD event through a USB-C charger
          After that, the NX20P5090 power switch was visibly burned and was replaced
          Now the PD controller always negotiates 5V @ 2A, even with known-good chargers

          Replacing backlights in Vizio V755-J04
          by x_orange90_x
          I've had this monster for several months as I've hesitated to order backlights for it. Finally did order them and they are due to arrive tomorrow. Besides having ample space to work, are there any recommendations for working on such a massive screen? Should I remove the panel by myself or would 2 people be a better choice? I bought the double-cup suction cups from Harbor Freight and have been using them for the last few repairs on smaller screens. They are far superior to the single cup orange ones I used previously that would often let go without warning 😱.

          I have not replaced...
