Vizio V585-J11 & V585-H11 Blank or tie-die image on screen

[mecha1166]

Hello, we have 4-6 of these sets now. All have blank screens, or slow-moving colors (looks like tie-die shirt). Some have narrow white lines and color around it.
We have tried a new main and several tcons (2 exact and 2 similar). Same thing. Probably a panel - has anyone had this issue? These are fairly new sets, all but one came from rental.I own one, it was junked out. I tried searching for this model in forums but the search showed no threads for this model number. Thanks for any input!

I would take an oscilloscope and look at the LVDS pairs on the main board and make the OSD come on and off. If you see a change on the oscilloscope screen, your good in that department. After that I’d look at the board with the tab bonds. Maybe someone had “washed” the TV, or something else is amiss there. Hard to tell what happened without seeing this thing.

Thanks for the info. I'll check the lvds info and the tabs. Probably shorted chips on the panel circuit board strip. All 6 were in different homes. I've seen the damage that maids in hotels can do when they are "washing" the flat screen tvs!
