Trash Find: Vizio VL370M
 

Today I found another LCD Flat Panel TV in the trash
The TV is a Vizio VL370M Of course it does not work but the screen is intact and in excellent condition, The frame is also in excellent condition.

When I plugged it in the Vizio symbol lights up Yellow and when I attempt to power on the TV the Vizio symbol will turn white and the screen will light up and then nothing (No Picture or sound or menus) The TV will stay on in that state until either unplugged or I press the power button again

I have not even removed the back yet so I have not looked for bad or bulging capacitors. I will take the back off tomorrow evening to get a better look for an obvious burned or bad part

Anyway in the meantime does anyone have an idea of what could be the problem board inside the Television.

Thanks

PS: I usually hang out at AudioKarma so that's why my post count is so low
My name is the same at AK (Solid_State)

More than likely the main board. Check the fuses on that board first. Voltage regulators are another issue, usually U33.

Thanks I take it the voltage regulators will be on the power supply board?

main board

going to be a bad eeprom on that set.

If you dont want to try and fix the board, I found them on Ebay for $40 or best offer. It's a 1080P set worth fixing.

OK the numbers on the main board are:

Printed on a sticker
3637-0552-0150(5E)
0KM4049AQ14155E
CSD:3637-0552-0395

Written on the board in white text
0171-2271-2855

All of the boards look the same but I take it I have to order this exact board with the same numbers on it for it to work correctly?

TV Still broken after a "new" motherboard
 

OK so I purchased a new motherboard with the same numbers and it still has the same problems :tears:
Can the LCD controller (T-Con) be bad?
or is this television set a lost cau$e?
Thanks

Maybe the board you bought is bad. Very common problem

The T-Con board is definitely burnt out as there is black marks on the TV chassis and the metal cover that was over the board and it smells of burnt electronics

probably should replace that also
