    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.

      try cleaning the 4 flat cable tcon ribbon cable ends, some use ipa alcohol, some use a pencil eraser.
      Quit because THIS SITE LETS A ROGUE MEMBER TYPE ANY GARBAGE HE PLEASES AND THE POWERS THAT BE NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SO HE NEVER QUITS. THEN YOU GET A PENALTY FOR RESPONDING TO HIS ATTACKS. BEEN GOING ON FOR WAY TOO LONG. DONE SUPPORTING A SITE THAT ALLOWS THIS BS.

          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 E701i-A3 fixed but now has red vertical line
                  by otaku_nut
                  Hi all, I tried searching the site for answers but I'm a bit over my head understanding some of what might apply and what doesn't, so please be patient with me. I used Freakaftr8's fix to remove the left driver board to restore picture to a black screen with sound Vizio E701i-A3. After doing so, I now have a large red vertical stripe down the center of the screen. The fix did require getting another t-con board from online, I ordered it before I knew about the mosfit fix for the old t-con board. I have tried cleaning the cable connections to the t-con board. I swapped the cables going from...

                  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...

                  Vizio E60-c3 blue vertical line (dead center)
                  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...
