Re: E320-A0 with near death

Thanks a lot. You are a tremendous amount of help.

Re: E320-A0 with near death

If i understand you correctly, you are asking if I still get 19.5 v after disconnecting the cable which runs between the two boards? Yes, I still get 19.5 v with that cable disconnected.

Re: E320-A0 with near death

Here are the photos. Yes that is the power board. The multimeter was spot on measuring the voltage (AC) coming out of the wall. It gave me 9.6 v on a 9 volt battery and 1.6 v on a 1.5 volt AA battery....

I have a Vizio E320-A0 which is about three years old. Recently it would not turn on, so i researched a bit and learned about power cycling it. Sometimes after unplugging it and holding the start button down for 30 seconds, it would then start, but often I had to do that maneuver ten times to get it to work. Every time, when I plugged it back in, the white light in the lower left corner would come on for 5 seconds or so and then fade.

I pulled the back off and there is just the power supply board (0500-0512-2040) and the main board (3632-2052-0150(6C)). Looked at a youtube video...

Re: Vizio E320-A0 won't do anything

Hi. I have a E320-A0 also that would not come on unless i power cycled it several times. Sometimes after two tries it would come on, and sometimes after ten tries. The power supply is a 0500-0512-2040 that is supposed to have a 24V DC output voltage. I don't see any bulged capacitors. Here's my question: When i put a volt meter on the power board output, all i get is 19.5 volts DC, not 24V. Does that mean that i need a new power board, or does it mean i have a lousy voltmeter?
