Re: Vizio M43-C1 No Backlights

I'm currently looking at making adjustable threaded plastic stand-offs to avoid whatever v+ continuity I had with the metal ones preventing the tv from booting. This will allow me to use the best cooling solution I have atm, the Asus fan blowing between the HS and the board. BUT, it's a 12v fan and I'd like to use a switched 12v point on the board, if there is one. maybe [B]howardc64[/B] could advise of a spot on M43 board or unit that has switched 12V.

A waterblock would likely be the best one could hope for, I'm sure alibaba or Banggood...

Hey, good times I'd like to know if you replaced the heat sink and if you had any advice if so. After replacing mine w/fresh paste it wouldn't fire up until I removed it again. I noticed, felt rather, an electrical buzz when touching the heat sink while plugged but refusing to turn-over. I suspect a layer of copper in the board was in contact with the metal standoffs of the sink and shorting out. My collection of computer parts has me very close to finding a better cooling solution but one thing or another(12v+, way to mount cooler,...

Hoping someone can help me find the value of, or hook me up with the smd ceramic capacitor on the back of the main board at position C478 (backside/middle of board). I knocked it off and lost it after removing the heat sink on XFCB0QK003020Q.
