Awesome 😎 And thanks for letting me know. Well done 👍🏽

Thank you for your comment. So you must be English because you said Pal....😂👍🏽👍🏽

Good call👍🏽

Great, let me know how it goes for you..👍🏽

Hate to say.. the replacement board still didn't do anything. It's still a black screen no lights except the vizio power light at the bottom.

Thank you for your comment. And that’s awesome. 👍🏽

Did you have a backlight issue?

@@_1Brick1_ The screen would not light up. I could hear audio. I placed in on a table and did the flashlight test and could read the screen. So I changed that power supply board mentioned in the video. Bought it from Walmart.com.

@@Purosabor73 thank you! That’s the exact same issue I’m having including flashlight test. So I’m gonna order this item and hope it helps.

@@_1Brick1_ Yes, I was sceptical about it too but the dude was right that was it. Cost me $35 at Walmart and got the 3 yr insurance for $7.

clarissa olguin if you are getting the same problem as the video shows. Then go fo it. Impress yourself . If it’s not the board for so wired reason, they will take the board back for a small restocking fee. But I’m positive you are doing the right thing..👍🏽👍🏽

Clarissa, did it work?

Sweet..👍🏽

Chicken Neggito glad it helped my friend 👍🏽

I agree, but we aren’t trying to teach the teachers, but those whom aren’t sure what solder , flux, solder iron, multi meter, resister and a pot is. Please understand I love fault finding, from electrical to electronics. But time is money and money is TIME. I want the person who has never done this before to say... I’ll give it ago. And by them succeeding it .... bring on the next challenge begins. I appreciate your true comment 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Well at that price it’s a win for all 3, But make sure you can return them if they don’t work. Meaning.. if they sell you faulty goods.👍🏽 But even if you get the right one it’s worth the money

@patriot prepper did you ever get yours fixed? I’m having the same issue

@@IgotSIX12s no I tried replacing two of the boards inside and ended up it was going to be more to fix it then would have been to replace the whole thing.

Jeff most definitely. Simple fix. As you can see . Nice conference builder for you.😁👍🏽

Jeff that is the board I replaced. So yes, main board/ power board

Adam Powell I checked the fuse first to see if it was just a power surge that could have blown the fuse. Once I new it wasn’t the fuse , I new it would be one of the boards. But that particular board does certain things for the tv as does the other boards. That board gets hit first as it’s the power board. I do explain partially what each board looks after on the tv. Great question though. Hope that helps .

Glad you found my video 👍🏽 No I never bothered finding the fault. The cheap cost for the quick fix outweighed the time I would spend finding the fault.👍🏽

Dara I would change the same board I did... the one with the fuse.

@@wolfeman1966 Thanks. I'll try that. I set it to standard and medium and it worked. I tried setting it to 63 as some said and it went out after a while. Thanks. For others reading this, I had to set this to medium and standard for every individual input, including the button that brings up the apps. Next change will be the board with the fuse.

Did you figure this out? I have the same problem with my D series vizio.. gonna try the main board

The T-con board is at the bottom under the tin plate...yes What is your problem?

Marny5580 Vizio are good and cheap. The problem is the component do overheat, breakdown or electrical surges can burn parts out too. There are multiple thing that can go wrong with any name brand tv You now have to think is a 28”still needed or do you want to buy a bigger one for around $350 ish?? Or repair it yourself for 40-50$ or option 3 Sell it to someone who can repair TVs for less and tell them which part is needed.... using that money towards a new and bigger one..🤔 And remember the English used the correct word for torch as a torch is a fire to light your way...😁 My flash light, doesn’t FLASH so there for it’s not a flashlight , just a light in a torch...😂👍🏽

😳 have you installed all ribbon connections correctly? They are sensitive. Try re installing

Can I ask how long you have had the tv? Is it still under warranty?

@@wolfeman1966 It’s a little over 2 years old. I’m just trying to figure out what part to order and I can replace it myself. Just not sure what to order

@@johnrodgers6410 did you watch my full video? I would say it’s the master board

@@wolfeman1966 so does my tv not have the light strips like some of the Vizios? If so, I can’t find any light strips for my model

You need to replace the same board as me in the video. I’ve heard the parts stores are running short on stock. So best of luck 🤞🏽

SDTJ Yes normally the Tcom (timing Controller ) board. Very rarely the main board at that point. Hope that helps, sorry for my delay..👍🏽

@@wolfeman1966 replacement TCon board showed up and replaced. Still same except now the backlights come on and stay on. Any other suggestions? Power board replacements are out of stock.

SDTJ main board Not power board Power board has the fuse on Main board has the inputs

Quick answer... yes 👍🏽 😂thanks for the question

@@wolfeman1966 cheers, I cant seem to find any places with the same exact part number i need theyre all sold out everywhere. Would I be able to use another power board with the connections or no?

@@ckc1468 I would say no just to be safe. Have you tried the company I mentioned? If so it’s probably due to back logs from China. See if you can order it. Or buy direct from vizio parts!!?

@@wolfeman1966 its not even available on vizio parts anymore and no the site is sold out

william Horton will comment tomorrow.. night

Sorry for the delay. Replace the board. Not worth looking at the components. May have been a cheap import board. Try that shop jimmy.com which I am Not affiliated. I just know they are helpful.👍🏽

Replace the same board as I did…👍🏽👍🏽

@@wolfeman1966 thanks for the quick reply I will give that a try from shop Jimmy

Bret Moua the main board is the power board. It’s the larger board with the fuse in the bottom left corner. Yo also must turn on or power up your tv when doing the flashlight test. If not you will not see any text. Hope that helps. And I got my part from a company called “shopjimmy.com”. I am not officiated with any company.👍🏽

@@wolfeman1966 The "main board" is NOT the power board. The main is the processor, inputs and control. The Power board is the one with all the big coils and capacitors on it, which the AC cord ( in this case being on a daughter connector away from it) directly connects to. It should have a 5 and 12 volt standby that is triggered by the main board ( outbound 12v to main, then back to trigger power on via 5v rail). These are two separate boards for a few reasons, one mainly being to keep RF out of the DSP from the resonating coils in the supply pulling down 120VAC to DC supply voltages ( all electronics work on DC, BTW ). It bothers me to see people put videos up for a repair and do not know how it works and also not giving out correct info. The LED backlights should have been tested in the light box ( yes, that is what it is called), to rule out bad ones before recommending a power supply replacement. This can be done with a 9 volt battery if you do not have the right tools. I have been in the business since 1986, so I do know what I am doing.

Please see my reply. This guy just got a little lucky, but does not know what he is talking about.

Kris Wingert well done ..🥳 You have just confused 90% of the normal people out there that just want to repair their own TV’s without spending loads of cash on people like you who know what a compressor or 5v rail is.🥳 I have had 15 years doing electronics, and am a qualified electrician. But really who gives a .......... they just need it fixing at the best price. Main board/ power board same thing . And yes I know what each board does. But thank you for your input, and thank you for watching. As long as I have helped people and they have saved money... I’m happy 😊 Have a wonderful day

Kris Wingert oh and the English call a “Main” board or Power board The same because mains come in, it’s from the Mains & power board, because The Power comes in. I say tomatoe sauce you say ketchup Who cares as long as we get what we need.👍🏽

it is d65u-d2

Ashley Herron open up the back to check the your part number to confirm, but yes it is the same board.👍🏽

Phil Ebbesen replace the same board I did, power board. I know you don’t what to buy one But, you will be great full you did afterwards. It’s the quickest way I promise. Less time wasting. And you’ll feel the self worth afterwards on your achievements. Go do it..👍🏽👍🏽

wolfeman1966 thanks man. I used to do some electrical repairs for work, basically same thing, figure out which board is bad and replace. What was the site you use to buy your board? I’m in USA.

Phil Ebbesen thats great. The web page is ......shopJimmy.com

Let me know how you get on..👍🏽👍🏽

wolfeman1966 hey man. So I swapped the power board with a new one and still nothing. No sound, no backlight, nothing on screen when I do flashlight test. Is there a different board I should look at replacing ?

Lee Bartholomew have you replaced the Tecon board. That’s normally attached to the lines showing..?

@@wolfeman1966 if it is the 3rd board that is attached to the ribbons. only time I risk ribbons is on my laptops. Usually they don't break but I've had 2 do so. and it's not my tv , breaks on me oh well I break someone else I pay for it. :O Just trying to save mom a bit of money.... Otherwise I'll part it out in the end... if I have to..

Lee Bartholomew I hear you. But if it’s already damaged then she can’t say you damaged it. Those ribbons are a bitch but... I always touch them as if the were delicate feathers. Slowly, gently.. no roughness. 👍🏽😬

Robert Carter YES

Did it work?

goto50007 believe me... it’s a ball ache checking every little part, resistor on the board. Sometimes it’s made easier through sight ( burnt area ) etc Sometimes it’s a weak solder joint . But if you have the right testers. Go for it... 👍🏽😊

Knowledge is king

vid actually starts good afternoon it’s your T Con board . Make sure you are careful removing the cables to the board, no rough play. Let me know when it’s been changed out so other will know I’ve given you the correct advice.👍🏽👍🏽

@@wolfeman1966 sorry for late response, I'll order my correct t con board replacement, ty I'll tell you how it goes

vid actually starts good luck

Did this work? I’m having the same issue

Yes 👍🏽

J Weezy replace the same board I have. It will just be a matter of time when your will go black. Showing a part is breaking down. Go for it, you can do it. Don’t forget to unplug when working on the board 👍🏽

Yves Jaccis So you did the flashlight test and saw words? Do you have power to the tv Can you see back lights Can you hear sound? Please give my more info to help. Has the tv got the same amount of boards or more? What make and model?

@@wolfeman1966 no sound i didn't do the flashlight test yet i will do it later when i get home

@@wolfeman1966 55 inche vizio modelo D65U-D2 ok now i have a dark bleu screen no sound i see light in the back

Yves Jaccis have you watch my video to the end? You will get the answers you are looking for if you do.

@@yvesjaccis3386 Did you figure this out?

Carmai7 😂😂 Much more simpler I only use shopjimmy Because I got my board from them and I found them to be helpful.👍🏽

Did it not say in the video what each board does and if it’s doesn’t show anything with the flash light test... it’s either.....??? Boards??? Watch again and it will explain

Replace the same board I have..👍🏽👍🏽

It’s on the video 👍🏽

The power board, same one I replaced.👍🏽

It is a D32X-D1

Has sound, cannot see any images on with the flashlight 🔦 test..... But can you see any back lights..?? If yes then it’s either the tecon board or the main board. Start with the tecon

@@wolfeman1966 Well it played audio through the surround sound. When I shine a flashlight on it, I don't see anything, maybe because there is to much glare. When I turn on the TV, the light indicating it turned on turns on. I will do some more testing but is it possible you could link me the parts so I make sure I buy the right thing?

@@wolfeman1966 I just did the flash light test and I finally saw it displaying, and it has sound without the surround sound connected.

Beast Skyler then it’s your power board . Look on line for shopjimmy.com It’s easy to order. Let me know how you get on. Others want to know to. Thanks for your comments and questions 👍🏽

CaveMedia yes... it’s starting to break down. It’s your warning ⚠️ sign 👍🏽

Yes👍🏽

Gary Mooyin it will be a faulty solder joint. But my be cheaper just to replace the same board I did.👍🏽

Did you figure this out?

Monique, did it work?

Did you figure this out?

Main board, something…. Resister, pot is overheating and shutting down. Damaged. It starts whilst cold, warms up and can’t cope… then shut down due to heat. Replace the main board 👍🏽

Fuse are good

Joly Frederic ouch ...😳 Will look into this in the morning. Bare with me 👍🏽

@@wolfeman1966 hahahahahah tks

Joly Frederic your welcome... I’m so tired 😴

Oh can you tell me what make and model tv please..? I can dream about it..😊👍🏽

Daniel Watts easy & cheap fix. It’s a common problem . 👍🏽 let me know how you get on.🤔

Lakita Sykes Did you check the fuse on the board? Did you check audio? Is so and both are good... You need to buy the new board from shop jimmy.com And it’s normally the Power board. Write down the number of the board and let them know . They will give you the price and ship it.

@@wolfeman1966 when I click on jimmy.com it takes me to a page advertising pool cues?

Bret Moua it’s called “shopJimmy.com”

The fuse is ac power if you can see no signal with flash light then obviously the fuse is good. No need to test it.

And still have no picture. Do you know why

@@jarvellscott957 what was your initial problem? What was happening before it stopped working?

The tv just went black. Still had sound. I did the flash light test nothing. Did the tv reset nothing. Changed main board and power board. The next step for me will be the light part. Idk. The tv is barely a year old.

@@jarvellscott957 if then it’s barely a year old , why didn’t you get it replaced or repaired through the warranty 🤔???

Cause i lost the receipt. And dont remember when i brought it from walmart so they can look it up...

Have you watch my video? If so, that’s where to start. Do the tests I do. If I you see the same things I do. Then you need the same board.👍🏽

@@wolfeman1966 one time picture appear other time it's black

@@jerryleveille9001 once it goes black can you do the flash light test

Have you got power to your tv.., if so press the menu button and just see….? Do you have sound?

@@wolfeman1966 I have just the light. No light and no sound? And I can't do the flash light test. I tried but I can't see nothing in there. Thanks

@@theraman87 is there a red light on the board on the right….. at the bottom left corner? When powered up.? If not. Then that is the board to replace. If there is a light then it’s your Tecon bottom board.👍🏽

@@wolfeman1966 yes, there is white power light and small red light at the back panel. Can I replace it by my self? Or its easy to replace?

@@theraman87 you can replace it yourself.easily. Make sure when you do , to unplug from the power. You say you have the red light , I’m thinking now it’s the same board as the one I replaced. So watch the video again just to give yourself the knowledge. Order your part. And have the confidence to do it. Very simple, very quick, very easy. And let me know how it goes. Good luck 👍🏽
