    Vizio TV M706-G3 - no Power

    Hello All-

    This is my first post. I have seen similar posts but none for the mode I'm having issues with.

    Here are the details. When I initially plug in the TV, the white lower corner light will come on for about 10-15 seconds but then fades out. Also, I cannot turn the TV on; either with the manual button on the back of the housing nor with the remote.

    I've tried all the online options I could find but nothing works. Based on a little research i believe its the Power Supply board (or maybe the main processing board). My board doesn't have the easily labeled stby 5 volts marking that I've seen on other vizio power supply boards....so I need some clarification as to which pin on my model is the equivalent to the standby power pin and i also don't know what the correct voltage reading i should be seeing with my multimeter.

    Here are the power supply board markings and the multimeter voltage readings with the unit plugged in:

    (ALSO, see the attached pictures)

    1. VSNS - 2.4
    2. LED-OUT - 64.2
    3. LED-OUT - 64.2
    4. LED-OUT - 64.2
    5. LED-OUT - 64.2
    6. GND - 0.0
    7. GND - 0.0
    8. GND - 0.0
    9. GND - 0.0
    10. GND - 0.0
    11. +16 -16.2
    12. AC-DET - 16.2
    13. PS-ON - 3.2
    14. +16VS - 16.2
    15. +16VS - 16.2

    I'm guessing the stby power pin is #13 "PS-ON," but I suppose it could be 1, 12, or 13. I don't know for sure what the abbreviations for 1, 12, and 13 stand for/mean.

    I also can't find (on this model) what voltages I SHOULD be reading. A lot of similar threads say 5 volts is correct but i saw another that said as title as 3 volts could be correct.

    Confusing!

    Lastly I also read a post/thread that a lower than normal voltage, even though its reading something at the power supply board, might be enough to produce a reading on the multimeter that appress stable and adequate, but in reality the voltage is too low to actually power on the TV

    Pictures attached.

    Thanks again for everyones help!!

    Please provide pictures of all the boards. Not just the power supply.

    A lot of Vizios suffer from a symptom like this usually caused by the main board.
    Not sure if that the case for this tv since there is no pic if of it.

        Put your meter on ps_on pin and press power button. Voltage should drop. If not mainboard is likely problem.
        I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

          Tried it.....it was a little challenging because i had to have the casing wires connected to the main board to do it.

          I didn't see any power drop when pushing or holding the power button.

            Wonder if it's an always on power supply, maybe unplug cable from powerboard to mainboard on powerboard side, see if there's voltage at the power on pin, for safety against shorting something out, always make connections and disconnections with tv unplugged.

              It does seem odd that you have all voltages up and running under standby. I agree see what PS_ON looks like with main disconnected.

                +16v is the standby voltage, PS_ON turns on the pfc circuit and the led_out supply.
                The led_out voltage (64.2) is likely just residual voltage as the caps are only rated for 50vdc and will drop when the backlight supply draws current.
                I suspect the problem is on the main board

                  Try heating the BGA chip with a hot air gun or blow dryer and see if it turns on.

                    Odd there is not heat sink on that main board.

                      Storyteller......seriously?? hot air gun or blowdryer?

                      what would heating that chip accomplish?
                      and....which is the BGA chip?

                        Apologies all....I found an error in my original post: pin #12 AC-DET = 1.4 (not the 16.2 originally listed, sorry for the fat finger error)

                        OK, so, as suggested, I disconnected the main board from the power board at the power board side. Plugged it in and all reading were 0 except:
                        11. +16 -16.2
                        12. AC-DET - 4.3
                        13. PS-ON - 0
                        14. +16VS - 16.2
                        15. +16VS - 16.2

                        When I plugged it all back together again the readings mirrored the original posted readings except:
                        12. AC-DET - 1.7

                          That acdet looks strange but not sure.

                            Seriously, this is a big problem with some Vizio TVs. The BGA is the big mediatek chip in the middle.

                            May not be your problem, this main board doesn't have the same design as all the ones that fail. However as I mentioned, I don't see any heat sinks which is odd because a lot of vizio boards fail from heat.

                                Yes. That new reading is from the suggested procedure. I disconnected the main board from the power board.

                                that was the PS-ON reading at the pin on the power board

                                    That surely could be the quickest solution, as long as the panel and backlights are ok.

                                      FIXED!!!

                                      Just bought the combo pack of all three boards.

                                      Replaced the power board and main board.

                                      rechecked the new power board voltages and they were the same as the old board....apparently it was the main board as someone earlier mentioned.

                                      Thanks everyone for your timely responses and help!

                                      Fixed for under $150

                                        Hi all,

                                        TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                                        I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                                        A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                                        by Tynan Dill
                                        I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                        Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                        I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                        The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                        With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                        Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                                        by sam_sam_sam
                                        I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                                        One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...
