    Vizio 60" smart tv.

    Hello I have a 60" smart TV that lost the picture, the sound was still working but now since I unplugged everything. I don't get sound.. but I will say that the sound is intact. The serial number is E601i-A3. This tv was bought in 2012 from Walmart and I called vizio and I was told it was a backlight issue.. Clearly the person I talked to had no idea as I kept telling him the tv turn on but I get a black/dark blue screen and that's an indication of the backlights working.

    This bring me to my actual question. Do you guys think it's a T-Con board or a main board problem? I don not wish to replace both when one might be good or the other way around. Or has anyone else seen this issue and had a different part not working correctly?

    THank you!

    Re: Vizio 60" smart tv.

    Guessing at the problem with out taking off the back and checking things is probably not good. Having said that, if you go to the "tv troubleshooting" portion of the forum, I think you will find some similar problems with this type of set. Odds are good its a tcon problem BUT it could be that the tcon was taking out by a bad panel... again read thru some of those associated posts.

      Thank you for the reply. I searched for something similar and there's no specific solution to my question. I have however replied to the thread that had a similar problem as my tv to see what their solution was or what they think about my best possible choice is. Thank you again.

        Whilst certain models and makes seem to suffer from similar failures going on past history can not replace having a physical look at the boards and measuring with a digital meter.

          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
          by Tynan Dill
          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

          Assuming...

          what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
          by ChaosLegionnaire
          so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

          i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

          VIZIO E70-E3 Half picture with half TCON
          by Fly_Among_Stars
          Hi,
          I have a VIZIO E70-E3.
          Symptoms: Black screen, no picture, but LED backlights are working.
          I probed the power board and voltages are as listed on the board.
          Main board appears fine, too.
          I believe the problem is either a bad T-CON board, or connection to LCD, or bad LCD.
          There are two separate ribbon cables feeding the LCD.
          If both are connected, the screen is black.

          If only the ribbon cable that feeds the right side of the screen (when viewed from the front) is disconnected, the left side of the screen shows picture and...

          Vizio P602UI-B3 No Picture or Sound - No TCON Voltage
          by jason123
          Hello,
          Help is much appreciated as I don't have any experience with this model TV.

          Picked it up and it was smoking in the back when powered.
          Open opening the LED Driver board was charred (see last photo.)

          I noticed some blown caps on the Power board as well.

          Replaced the LED driver board, and bad caps on Power supply.

          Voltages on CN301 (upper power supply connector to LED driver board)
          X000017 - All 24.39V
          GND - 0.001
          OD - 0.015
          VSNS - 0.009 (does that imply bad backlight or bad LED Driver?)

          ...

          Vizio M65-E0 No Picture, No Sound
          by ggil44
          Hi I inherited a Vizio M65-E0 that isn't working. It must have been dropped on the corner because I found that the infrared circuit had a capacitor with one end broken off of the board and some green corrosion around the plug to the main board. I re-soldered the capacitor and cleaned the corrosion well and tried turning the M65-E0 on and I was successful. My problem is that while the back lights come on and appear to perform local dimming there is no picture or sound. It kind of looks like you are looking at the TV through a very dense fog, where changing the input on the remote will change bright...
