    Vizio SV422XVT blinking amber/white power light

    Good day, hope all are healthy and cozy. I could use some help with my malfunctioning Vizio with a blinking power light. I have narrowed the problem to the main board but not sure what to do next. I guess it would be good to start with what I have done.

    Problem:
    I have no image, no sound, blinking power light. (left it plugged in overnight and it was still blinking the following morning). I tried the Vizio recommendations (hold power button for 30 seconds, press reset button, check the outlet is live)

    Power Board:
    I am getting 5v only. I have unplugged all connectors between the power board and main board and hooked up a 1kOhm resistor from 5v to PWR-ON and I get the 18v. I also hooked up 5v to backlight and the backlights came on. Power board is working.

    Main Board:
    I replaced 2 bulging capacitors on the main board in the DC/DC converter on the main board.
    I am getting 5v only at the connector J1 on the main board. The 3 fuses at J1 are good. I have checked the smd transistors and mosfets in the DC/DC converter and they seem ok (did not remove from board).
    I did Budm's suggestion to apply heat to DC/DC converter with a hair dryer except I used a heat gun and the blinking power light went out and stayed out. I think I overdid it with the heat and damaged the U50 dual mosfet. I had a close replacement so I swapped it out which caused other problems but in the end I am back to the blinking power light.
    I went through the DC/DC converter troublshooting Budm posted and the results are:
    J1 Pin 10,11,12,13,14 display 5v
    J1 Pin 1,2 display 0v (pin 17 displays 0v)
    J6 Pin 1,2 dispaly 0v
    U1 pin 5,6,7,8 display 3.3v
    U5, U7 display 3.3 v U88, U89 display 0v
    U50 Pin 1,2,3,4 display 5v Pin 5,6,7,8 display 0v
    U71,U94 display 0v
    J6 Pin 1,2 display 0v

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

      I was poking around with an ESR meter and discovered 3 tiny smd caps close to connector J1 that indicate they are open. Would 3 tiny smd caps keep the tv from working?

          I think I am pretty much screwed on this one, the main board is not available anywhere, I can't locate a schematic, I have no idea what the ratings on these tiny caps are and if someone did have the board they are priced way too high.

              Hi,

              "I replaced 2 bulging capacitors on the main board in the DC/DC converter on the main board."

              So you replaced the 2 caps that where bulging. If i where you, i would change all electrolitic caps in that board.

                  Thanks for the response retro. I checked all the caps with an ESR meter, I am pretty confident they are ok. I think the 2 caps that were bulged was because I overheated them trying to see if heating the board would make something happen.

                      I tried to replace the teeny tiny capacitors with standard soldering equipment and buggered the board. The tv is too old to find parts for, just gonna hang it up and go home.

                          On those little caps that read off, remove from board and recheck IF they check bad off board and tested correctly then sure enough it's bad, youtube is your friend for testing tutes if needed.

                              Thanks Nomoresonys, I checked them off board and I got no reading at all on the ESR or on the multimeter for 3 of them and dead short for 2 of them. Thanks for your input.

                                  Can you replace those with new or donors from a spare board? nothing else shorted or amiss that you can tell?

                                      So i plug in the charger, amber light starts blinking ,there is 3.3V and 5V present, and 2.4V on the power button,board doesn't turn on, no shorts...

                                      interesting thing is the battery was around 7,8V, and it's 11.1V battery, the mosfet near the battery is open, but not charging,i desoldered it,tested it and it's fine ,but the amber light kept going on the charger so i charged the battery with power supply and got it to about 10.5V...

                                      Hello,

                                      I have a HP ProBook 650 G4 with a continuously blinking amber light, no post issue. The motherboard version is CHROMIA-6050A2930001-MB-A01(A1), no schematics or boardview is available for it.

                                      What I have done so far is the following: There is no short anywhere on the board, and all high and low MOSFETs check out fine (I checked resistances across G-S-D as well as diodes). BIOS and EC both get 3.3V, I tried reflashing both with fixed versions from hoaca, no change.

                                      I measured all coil voltages, see attached image for values, some get voltages, some...

                                      Good Day.

                                      I just replaced tcon on my sony kdl 65xg9505 and getting green amber leds blinking. all voltages are ok according to working sequence.

                                      i downloaded firmware from sony and there is no .pkg fike.. after extracting it gives another file which contains multiple files like inf, payload.bin and 3, 4 other files. i just did that usb but did not worked. anyone knows anything how to do it..?

                                      green amber blinking stops after while and then starts again. tv responds to remote control on off etc. before installing new tcon backlite was coming on without backlite...

                                      Hi,
                                      I have the above tv that just shows a red light blinking twice 5 times, i have taken the back off and all the capacitors seem ok,
                                      When i disconnect the mainboard from the PSU all the led's light up blinking fast but as soon as i reconnect the mainboard back to the power supply i get the red light blinking again twice 5 times,
                                      I have attached pictures of the Mainboard, PSU and a small video (zipped) showing what happens when i disconnect the lead from the psu
                                      Any help would be appreciated...

                                      Hello,

                                      We have this set here in our shop that is not ginving sign of life besides red light that is blinking one time after pressing the button and nothing more... After detaching the mainboard from the PSU (this set has separate board thank god?! or not...) the backlight comes on. After reattaching nothing besides red light.... Can anyone from the forum help me here? Thank you in advance. Here's a link with images of the mainboard and the memory IC's that are on it.


                                      Regards, Norbert!...
