My VIZIO flickers every few seconds. Can someone help me properly diagnose the issue?

Try reseating the LVDS cable. It goes from the main board to t-con.

That could be a connector expanding and separating.

Which one is the correct cable?

Re: My VIZIO is flickering please help

Both of the white flat cables are the LVDS cable. From your picture it doesn't look like your tv has a tcon board.

Re: My VIZIO is flickering please help

Ok I reseated them and the TCON board is on the top you cant see it from that angle. I will let you know what happens

Still not working, it takes like ten minutes of continuous running for it start flickering.

Any Ideas?

Re: My VIZIO is flickering please help

I've got an idea but i don't know if it'll work. If it's flickering after 10 minutes put a window fan behind the tv and see if it'll run longer. Something might be "heating" up causing the backlight to shutdown.

lol my ceiling fan is already cooling it off, but I think I narrowed it down to heat loosening a connection somewhere.
