Fix Vizio TV E320/E371VL, E370/E371VL, E420 stuck on standby (EEPROM Dump)

It seem like a few popular Vizio HD TV set suffer from a similar EEPROM corruption as the Sony Playstation 3D TV. Turn out that many of them stop working after a while for no apparent reason. I do not have this particular TV set so this article will be much lighter in pictures than my regular article but from what I have read, the TV stop powering on and stay with the organge Stand-By light. It will sometime boot after numerous try but will stop working again after a while, sometime appearing to turn on but freezing at the white Vizio logo screen. And as when I was looking to repair my Sony Playstation 3D TV, I could find many people selling the replacement chip but nobody seemed to be sharing the chip data for home repair. These kind of situation frustrate me a lot as I believe that this kind of information should be freely available. So I decided to remedy this by buying a replacement chip and dumping it's content. Here are the EEPROM Dump (the EEPROM you need is 25Q64): Filename Compatible model Vizio_E320_E321VL_EEPROM_DUMP.zip  E320/E321VL Vizio_E370_E371VL_E420VL_E420VO_EEPROM_DUMP.zip E370/E371/E420VL/E420VO   The EEPROM location on the TV circuit board is U18.
