    Vizio main board conversion (E60-C3 to D650i-C3)

    I have Vizio D650i-C3 with bad main board.
    I tried to revive it with reflow, but it lasted very short time and finaly died completely.
    These boards are very rare and obviously quite expensive.
    I did some research and found that the one from E60-C3 is quite cheap and looks identical except 4 mosfets for LEDs are missing.
    So I took a chance and bought it.
    TV powered up with it, but video bits are messed up, nevertheless the text is readable.
    I accessed factory menu, but there was nothing useful.

    What is the next step to try?
    There is no EEPROM, so swapping flash memory is the only thing I could think of.
    If anyone has experience with these, please let me know.

    Although I never recommend using a different main from a different model since they are designed to be used with a particular tcon and panel especially on a customer's Tv but if it's your own it's a risk but you might get results, just not what your expecting. My guess is the BIT setting may be different in the service menu. Just make sure you write down the current setting in case you need to change it back. Could be 6, 8, or 10 BIT. Good luck.

      Brucetv, thanks for advice, I agree, but there is no such setting to change number of bits.
      In the meantime, I found MT5580 chip on Aliexpress and ordered it. I will try to swap it in the original board.

        Swapping MT5580 didn't work or maybe I didn't do it right or maybe the problem is elsewhere.
        I am thinking of doing memory dump from original board and programming it into donor board.
        What I've learned so far, the flash memory is eMMC type, Toshiba THGBM5G5A1JBAIR
        I am still trying to figure out connections and what programmer to use, just want to know if anybody has some experience with Vizios or similar.

          Sceptre U550CV-UMR 4K LED, Bad Caps on Main Power Board?
          by Dani_2024
          Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
          I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
          Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

          Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

          Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
          by jb_Bak
          Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

          Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
          Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
          CN6401
          Pin 01 NC
          Pin 02 NC
          Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
          Pin 04 "N/C"
          Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
          Pin 06 "GND": N/C
          Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

          (SOLVED) - ONN 100012588 No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

          Issue: No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

          Short answer: replace main board and power board
          Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.

          Long answer:

          TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge....

          Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
          Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

          Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
          by cheeky2
          I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
          Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...
