bigger soldering iron / gun. You may also preheat the heat sink with a hair dryer etc.

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

Well.. u shoulda told me wizard! �� Do I need to get another 9101? I replaced it and it worked fine for a while then went out again..

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

Did you change IC9301 (STR-A6069)? you need to do that first !

PS: Vizio E500i-B1 80% problems are STR-A6069 only 10 % problems are IC9101....the other 10% is A DOG........

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

Well I didn't do that. But I will now. So, I probably need another 9101, right?

[capwizard]

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

No, You dont need it anymore! order STR-A6069 asap. This will fix your DOG.

Well..here we go. I've replaced IC9301, TV turns on, we'll see how long it lasts. I still have 15.3 on the 24v legs.....

Re: Vizio E500i-B1

That sounds far too low. There must be something wrong for it to be 9 volts less than it should be!
