/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Anybody here fix TVs?

Muh old Vizio. This one had intermittent problems where I would turn the power on, and the screen wouldn’t come on like no backlight power. But if I turned it off and on again it would work. It got worse over time, eventually I would have to turn the power on for like 45min (screen wouldn’t come on, but Vizio logo would light up) and after leaving it on for awhile, I could flip it off-on again and the screen would come on. Then it was finally killed.

Looks like there’s the power board in the middle, control center and shit to the right, and then everything for the picture at the top.

I don’t need to fix it, I already got a new one, but it would be fun to learn and troubleshoot it. Thought I would find a bulged cap or a bad relay because of that little click when the screen powers on, but don’t see anything.
