Re: Vizio SV470m wont power on (stuck in standby mode)

I just noticed that the main board that was originally in my tv ended in "5D" and the board I bought to replace the original ends in "5C". Could this be the problem with the tv still not powering on? I'm not sure what the different versions are because the serial number on it matches exactly up until the "5D" or "5C" in parenthesis.

Re: Vizio SV470m wont power on (stuck in standby mode)

I will try out the suggestion on holding down the power button as soon as I get home. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by disconnecting the LVDS to see if it does anything. If you can help me understand that I will definitely give it a try. Also you asked about the main board having the suffix "5C", my main board has the suffix "5D". Is the "5C" board the one with firmware issues or something? Thanks for the reply by the way!

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with my Vizio SV470m 47 inch TV. It will no longer power on and is stuck in standby mode with the Vizio logo on the front remaining orange.

Let me give you a little background information on how the problem started:

The tv was working fine just a couple days ago, but got to where it wouldn't power on using the remote so i turned it on from the side of the TV thinking it was probably the batteries. The next day the TV would not turn on from the side power button anymore.

I looked into the problem and researched it, and learned...
