    Vizio E320VL powers on but no backlight

    hi

    i beleive issue is bad inverter section on the ps

    i power tv on and the vizio logo goes from orange to white and i can see startup the vizio logo show on the tv screen (no backlight)

    i have 12v and 5v and 3v blon at the ps

    after about 2 min of tv not connected to vidoe source it goes to standby and vizo goes to orange i believe this is notmal

    doing a brief search brings up a repair kit for the ps/inverter obard on shop jimmy so i assume this is a common issue

    here are pics of the stock board and repair kit

    on my board R721 seems to be open and thats right before the transformer circuit..so it does seem that this could be related to issue.

    anyone have this same issue?

    R721 is the fusible resistor for feeding B+ to the inverter circuit, you need to test MOSFET's Q701, Q702 to see if they are shorted out or not.

        hey budm...off subject question regarding lcd tv in general

        with no tcon board connected what would the display look like when powered on?

          update..as i expected it was a bad inverter board section of the ps

          i got a replacement board for only $20 shipped and issue resolved

          i was going to troubleshoot it at component level but not worth the headache...it was more sensible to buy the $20 replacement in my opinion..

            Thanks for the follow-up, now you have spare parts form old board too.
            BTW, you ask ,e what you see on the screen if T-CON board is not connected to the main board, try that and see for your learning experience.

              Thomson 50UD6306 (TCL) Backlight Issue, starts then stops, led changed
              by Cornito
              Hello Team,

              I'm back with another backlight issue that I thought was simple, but it turned out to be more complex than expected.

              Let me provide a brief history: The TV was working well, then one day, the backlight started and shut down. I thought I had an LED issue leading to this behavior, so I replaced the LEDs with brand new ones. However, the issue remains the same.

              Next, I replaced the electrolytic capacitors attached to the LED power supply, but the results were the same. I then replaced the driver, a OB3365RP, and did it twice due to the same result....

              iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
              by cheebster
              Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
              Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
              Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
              The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
              Anyone...

              TCL 65C715 backlight issue
              by Cornito
              Hello team,

              I'm back with another topic.
              It's a 65C715 TCL tv with backlight issue.

              But the problem is a bit strange.
              When I took this tv from the marketplace backlight didn't work but picture was ok.
              Back at home I checked with led tester if led are alive and I can find something different in term of voltage supply => nothing

              Putting all back together the tv worked fine for weeks. => Contact issue??

              Few moment later the tv has started to have backlight issue back, turning off and on worked sometimes and tv was working....

              Razer Blade 2016 6700k 1060 RZ09-01952 suspected backlight power rail issue.
              by shellybelly
              Back Story
              I just recently purchased a RZ09-01652 Razer Blade 14 Touch v4(2016) as a project. I suspect the original motherboard had overheated and caused board damage to the vrm's for the CPU and GPU as now that motherboard works however will lockup on you often due to hardware clock issues.
              So after some research and looking at options for replacement motherboards I got a replacement RZ09-01952 razer blade 14 motherboard which has the 1060 vs the 970m that was in my original motherboard. I have contacted the seller about the motherboard being bad however I doubt they will be...
