    Vizio e321vl Black Screen

    Hello,

    I have a Vizio e321vl and 2 main boards for it. One of the main boards causes the tv to turn on, the Vizio logo to come up and then the screen goes black but the sound still works (and it passes the flashlight test).

    So after this I thought there was something wrong with the main board and bought a working one from ElectroPartsOnline. However, this one just causes the TV to turn on but not show a logo and the screen just stays black with no audio or anything on the screen (it fails the flashlight test).

    Any ideas? What pictures would help with this?

    Lots of threads on that model if you do a search including this one.

      If you have video you can see when using a flashlight, you have a backlight issue and the main is likely ok. Check the voltage on the power supply cn202 pin 12 BL ON/OFF Also check the voltage onthe main filter cap. (C120) it should be around 160v in standby and around 380v when the tv is on. If the PFC boost voltage is not working, it's likely the backlights won't work correctly.

      The second board may be on the wrong input, so no audio or video when checking with a flashlight, try pressing the menu and see if you can see the menu screen with the flashlight.

        Dell G3 15 3500 - Battery bug (black screen and flashing keyboard backlight)
        by HTR-Informatique
        Hello,

        YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

        I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

        On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

        I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

        I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

        I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

        Problem

        This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

I came around this forum last week with the goal of repairing my faulty gaming laptop, indeed, I was video editing on it when suddenly a black screen popped and never disappeared I bought some stuff to try to repair it and learn as many things as possible about computer repairs but nothing worked so far. When the black screen appeared, my legion 5 pro was connected to my external monitor...

        by DaniK
        Hi everyone,
        I have this strange behaviour with Acer Aspire E5-574-52RH, i5 6200U, intel graphics, DA0ZRWMB6G0 Rev G, model ZRW.
        Laptop came in for a SSD upgrade, took everything apart to install the SSD.
        Everything started after modifying BIOS settings to boot UEFI instead of Legacy.
        Laptop works fine, i installed windows 10 and drivers/updates, everything works ok(when it works)
        The black screen problem is random, maybe 5 out 10 times, laptop remains with the black screen, no image

        Symptoms are:
        - random black screen after displaying Acer logo...

        Vizio M60-C3 black screen
        by paqman
        So our beloved M60-C3 up and died the other day. I was not there, my wife mentioned that it came on, displayed the logo, then showed the right half of the screen white and fuzzy, with the left half of the screen ok. However when I got around to looking at it, the screen would not come on at all. The indicator LED will come on, then dim a bit. After a while, the LED might blink a bunch of times. I can't get it to be consistent to do that.

        So I've got the back off and am checking voltages. The capacitors on the power supply board visually check out. No bulges or anything. They all show...
