    Power Supply for Vizio sv471xvt Backlight Inverter Repair Help Pleasse!!

    Hello. I am repairing a Vizio sv471xvt and it had no standby led and wouldn't power on, so I ordered a used power supply and now the tv has standby and powers on but the screen is dark. I have to get a flashlight to see the menu on the screen, etc. Does anyone have any experience with this tv, to tell me what components need to be replaced to get the backlight working, because I'd hate to wait another two weeks returning this board and getting another one. I hate the backlight inverter is on the power supply with this model. Also, if anyone knows what components to replace on the original board to give it power and standby voltage I'd greatly appreciate that too.

    We need good clear pictures of the whole backside of the TV showing how all the boards are connected together, then the picture of the whole power supply board, the pictures of the power supply connectors that goes to the main board, the pictures must be clear enough to read the pin labels.
    Did you do any DCV checking at all yet on the power supply connector that goes to the main board?

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...

      Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

      One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

      Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
      by x_orange90_x
      I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

      I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...

      Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

      I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

      Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
      by lostone
      Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

      First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
      When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...
