You should post anything about TVs in the TV section instead.
BTW, any pictures of the backside showing all the boards?

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

Test black-light of TV .
Show 96 LEDs, maybe one of them gave the trouble.

Panel Sticker Number: TPT500J1-HVN04 REV:S17TB

PS: Because I try to learn by myself, over there too many opinions will confuse me..and this TV still in troubleshooting stage..

Perhaps it's a lesson to start being more truthful

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

..I did nothing but charged full amount at 2016/12/16...

Maybe it's time to stop charging full amount for doing nothing.
When I'm doing something(in my sphere of work) I always tell the customer what exactly I have done and how much is the cost of the parts/materials and how much I want for the effort of getting the job done.
If I did nothing, so I say. And I never charge a customer for nothing. Because the next time he will choose someone else.
My ethics dictate that I am getting paid for getting the job done - never tried to cheat. If we agree about the price - ok. If not - there are other customers.

"Perhaps it's a lesson to start being more truthful"...I should will.... Thank you very much.....need extra cash for Christmas..that's why........

"I did nothing but charged full amount at 2016/12/16," at meantime I give one year warranty. This TV has been tested for 3 days work good, thats why I try to invent A LED lifetime tester.

PS: pic1 show one year warranty. and copy of customer's receipt.

Don't Touch! How can I fix the TV without touching ? Remember the TV was working what happen if I broke the tabs, and TV no more has pictures, Who gonna pay for?

PS: Why Don't Touch! is because they glue screen on the panel, need extreme carefully to unglued those double sided tape.

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

I'm giving up because it works, will refund all the money, how can I fix working TV? Cant find any blinking LEDs , I cant wait for another 2-3 days.......

PS: try heated up all the PCB and tapping LEDs, it is still working.

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

It is hard to find intermittent faults

You could go to extreme lengths to capture the fault condition but it's probably not worth it for a cheap TV.

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

Try firmware update ,none, I keep thinking they are from BBB try to see If I am honest....

PS: Why not just call him and ask how long TV will cuts off and any symptoms, nobody is knowing the TV more then him.

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

He said "won't turn on" so the problem is on and off , once turn on I think will last pretty long time, so I am at wrong direction.

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

My power supply is this one : Vizio ADTVD3613XA6 Power Supply for E500I-B1
Before I saw the problem, I dont know which PCB to change , I have no idea at all! more test necessary.

Easy fix for a no display issue on my 2 year new Vizio - Dave on October 31st, 2016
The TV screen wouldn't come on. If I'd unplug it, the next day it would work for the next 24 to 48 hours. After numerous online posts about this model, I opened the back of the tv up to get the EXACT part number for my power board. Super easy fix!
TV Model: Vizio E500I-B1
TV Symptoms: No Picture
TV Saved From Dumpster - Joshua on October 7th, 2016

One morning my TV went out and wouldn't turn on again. Was going to toss it in the dumpster, but my roommates stopped me. I researched what the issue could be and found out it was a power supply problem. Got a replacement part and now it works again!
TV Model: Vizio E500I-B1

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

The symptom : After you heated up the IC9301, power pilot light is on when you push the hard- to- find- power- button the LED diminished slowly..........

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

wait A minute..... give me one more chance.....I did ordered 10pcs FSFR1700XSL, I don't know they are the same or not?

YES, I found it, it is LCS703LG.......................

[Agent24]

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

There you go

It must have been an environmental problem, maybe the customer has the set in a hot room or by a window in the sunshine.

I don't know if FSFR1700XSL will work though? Looks like a very similar IC to the LCS703LG but I think they have a rather different pinout.

LCS703LG you can get from Mouser.

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

I still wonder what DCVs are missing when the TV does not work. The STBY PS (using IC9301)? or the switched supplies using the LCS703LG IC?
