          Thanks salvador437! It just looks like the plastic top on it comes off somehow and I am afraid of pulling too hard(I pulled fairly hard to start with)! When I get the board fixed I wonder if it will be just as hard to put the ribbon back in?

                  Grab the blue on the inverter side and firmly pull straight out

                      Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
                      by x_orange90_x
                      I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

                      I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...

                      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...

                      T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)

                      Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                      The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                      Original T-con:
                      Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                      First replacement T-con:

                      I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                      Vizio VO42L Issues: Need Guidance
                      by ChillingCicada
                      We've had our Vizio VO42L since before 2010, and it's worked flawlessly this entire time. However, just recently it started emitting a high-pitched buzzing/humming sound. I followed the basic troubleshooting tips of just unplugging it for a moment, and even holding down the power button while doing so, all to no avail.

                      Furthermore, after I attempted these basic steps and powered the TV back on it would always begin visually flickering while the sound stuttered. After a few moments of being turned on this would go away, but it still periodically comes back.

                      I also...
