Re: Visio E5501-B2 no picture or sound

This was GREAT advice from capwizard and others. These are probably cycling out of the inventory since they're getting older but I picked up one the other day. Even had an extra set of boards. Neither set worked. Checked cn202 and sure enough, the solder joints had failed on both power boards. Cleaned up the old solder and resoldered with 60/40. Now I have two good power boards and the set plays like new. What a simple fix. Thanks to all who helped.

And access to the boards is quick and easy. This last one was tossed by my neighbor but someone had broken the corner at the IR board, which I had to replace. I resoldered the connections (thanks again to the board members who made this so simple) and the set went to a good friend. He's my handyman and household fixer who has saved me big money over the years.

I know your situation, it’s okay...just try to find another same TV on the Internet like OfferIt.

I've been offered a couple of these for free in the past, both picture and no sound. If someone offers me a free TV I try to tell them if I think its an easy fix. When I tell them I can generally fix one of these in 30min for $35 they just about soil their britches.

I just sold one of these last weekend for $250.00 and three others for the same amount last year.

Plastic gold these are

Re: Visio E5501-B2 no picture or sound

Resoldered those connections and it now works great. Thanks, gentlemen!

Re: Visio E5501-B2 no picture or sound

The connection is on the back of this area.

Thanks. Being a geezer, I am a lot more familiar with vacuum tube, hard wired stuff.

Re: Visio E5501-B2 no picture or sound

well... check em for cracked or cold solder joints on both boards. Just resolder them for now with fresh solder.

Re: Visio E5501-B2 no picture or sound

Do I understand correctly that bridge connector between the two boards was replaced by the wires shown?

Did you read post 8 and go to the link?

Re: Visio E5501-B2 no picture or sound

Attached are pictures of the internals. Don't see a connector with soldered ends.

Re: Visio E5501-B2 no picture or sound

Again, thanks. I'll be getting to this set in the next week and will advise.

Re: Visio E5501-B2 no picture or sound

Its the connection between the power board and the led driver board. You can wiggle it and see it move.

Re: Visio E5501-B2 no picture or sound

I want to be sure--we are talking about the power supply or main board? Thanks

Re: Visio E5501-B2 no picture or sound

Remove the lead free solder and re-solder with leaded solder and it willbe good as new.

BTW, the correct model number is E550I-B2 (not 5501).

You're a lucky man. It is the Vizio 056.04167.1071 Power Supply Board Cn202 connector has very bad solder joints. Resodler the cn202. Tv 99% will works. I've repaired 8 of them.
