    VIZIO M60-C3 Can the vertical line be fixed?

    I am trying to help my friend to fix his Vizio tv with a vertical line on the screen. The line is on the right side. It is blue/purple on the right side starting from the top. But it only goes to about 3/4 of the screen height (not to the bottom of the screen). It is very obvious when the screen is dark and it is hard to be seen when the screen is bright. Please help.

      From my experience, this is a sign of a stripped ribbon cable on the glass side, try to press it against the glass with something soft and fix it when the line disappears. Care must be taken not to damage the glass!!!! rubber heatsink from processor.

        Thank you all your suggestions. I have tried the methods suggested but no luck. I gave up and helped my friend to recycle the tv.

          Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel
          by howardc64
          Failure Symptom



          No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

          Where is the short?

          Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



          Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...

          by Gootch46
          My Father called me he has a Vizio E60-c3 that's probably 3-4-5 years old but it has a thin blue line running down the center of the screen (photo) I tried a couple things but I'm sure one of you all have seen this already. Been a while since I've been here hope all is well. Thank you in advance....

          Kogan - KALED65XU9220STB - Blue Vertical Line
          by TrueSword88
          Hi all.

          I have a Kogan 65' LCD Panel with a thin blue vertical line (top to bottom) on left hand side of panel.
          The line just happens to coincide with the end of COF and start of the next COF (attached).

          The line is permanent no matter what I've tried. I've tried pressure testing the panel (top to bottom) and all over, I didn't notice any difference with the line, either temporary or semi-permanent.

          Also tried unplugging all flex cables, cleaned with isopropyl then re-inserting to no avail - line remains.


          Hoping to fix...

          Samsung UE58TU7100K - no picture, vertical line
          by mrsith
          Hi.

          Got UE58TU7100K with no picture - backlight comes on though. Figured out that's a perfect candidate for cut tape method.

          This model has just one LVDS tape coming off main board - and two panel boards underneath the LCD screen are connected to each other via small tape. Like curved screens. I've tried to disconnect half of the screen (5he side without LVDS connector on it, obviously), no joy.

          Disconnected the tape (main board side). Applied a small piece of tape, covering first ~4-5 pins. Powered the TV on - got picture. In negative, but that's...
