vizio E60-E3 backlights, sound, no video

[ajshoe]

Have a free Vizio E60-E3 pickup - sound and backlights work. set turns on and stays on for a period then cycles off and back on. NO VIDEO. If I remove left side (from front of TV) of TCON cable - set has pic on right side (from front of TV) with white screen on left side. With right side TCON cable disconnected - no pic on either side.
Does this mean remove right side (from front of TV) tabs ?

Like a second opinion before possibly destroying set.

No don’t remove any tabs.
Sounds like the panel is the issue but most likely the tape method is your only hope.

You can check for shorted caps on the buffer boards also. You may get lucky and find something shorted there

what are the buffer boards, this is a LED tv. there are side tabs on this tv - but no side boards.

The buffer boards are what lvds cables from the tcon go to. You have to remove the speakers and metal cover

Indeed, never jump to tab removal before confirming the problem, it being non-reversible, little test: tv UNPLUGGED from power, unhook tcon to panel cables, being careful not to let the cable ends rest on metal, plug power in turn tv on, does it still cycle?

Re: vizio E60-E3 backlights, sound, no video

from reading all the posts on this issue - my right side of screen is good picture with left cable removed from TCON board from front of tv - all posts say to remove left side tabs from side of tv will restore the picture.

Re: vizio E60-E3 backlights, sound, no video

I looked at the buffers at the bottom of the set - they are not connectors - they are bonded onto the board. Not worth removing display screen to check for bad caps or burn areas. I then made a executive decision and removed left side tabs (they removed very easily with pulling) and powered up set - perfect picture. Another tv saved from the dumpster

What I said was unhook panel from tcon, I did not say it was not bad side tabs, I said you want to make sure that it is by testing, as a bad side tab can present itself in different ways.

Re: vizio E60-E3 backlights, sound, no video

I did unhook Tcon ribbon cables 1 at a time - read first post.

It's in plain English and it's a pretty short sentence, so what is tripping you up??

Irony much ? It's you that's not understanding. Put that silly attitude away.

PISS off dipp. whats your deal anyway, you love me so much, you just can not quit STALKING me, awe...what a poor sad little clown.

Re: vizio E60-E3 backlights, sound, no video

your post #6 states to unplug TCON cables - you didn't read post #1 cause I did unplug TCON cables to display and test. Again the display tabs on the bottom are bonded to the board. so I'm still at a loss at what your asking. The only way to fix this set was to remove the LEFT side tabs. I did this and the set is repaired.

Re: vizio E60-E3 backlights, sound, no video

It's simple, you and dipp think about it, maybe someone can tell you the difference and explain it to you, but if you can't see the obvious difference it's just funny...AND so obvious that I will not explain it.

Same to you, not trying to be mean, just don't have much tolerance when I suggest a simple test and people just can't do it or follow it correctly, understandable with a difficult test but not a simple one. Then ask me if I read a post, of course I read the first post, then our lonely boy dipp chimes in, well I expected THAT, he's my biggest fanboy.

I wouldn't have commented if not for that stupid attitude you don't have a hold of especially when it's down to your ignorance, it's unnecessary and brings nothing to the thread, especially as the TV was fixed.

I have zero love for you, your pathetic homophobic slur is embarrassing and a clear sign you're out of your depth mentally. Your many many posts back that up.

Re: vizio E60-E3 backlights, sound, no video

I don't believe you dipp, I am not homophobic, I just don't swing that way, like I told you before, but you just can't take a hint...so you stalk me, right fanboy, otherwise THERE IS NO NEED for YOU to comment on this thread, other than YOU just being a lonely boy right?? Why don't you try facebook or instagram.
