Would cost me about $12 in gas and about 1 hr of driving to go get this TV, sounds like the guy tried to fix bad tab bonding and cracked the LCD Panel or the board because of what he thought was a loose frame around the screen and tried to fix it by squeezing it together. They say it powers on but has just RGB Lines on the left side of the screen, not sure if I want to bother with it. any comments? Thanks!

If it's only 12 bucks, I'd do it.
The worst case you have the boards inside as spares or to sell on eBay or to get capacitors and other components off them if you happen to run out. -

Re: Should I take it? Free Vizio VW46L FHDTV10A
Main boards on Ebay go for $60 and up (depending on the TV model). Well worth your $12.Comment

I had one of these and it was bad bonding, tried fixing, but I couldn't and just took it apart.Comment

Re: Should I take it? Free Vizio VW46L FHDTV10A
I'm betting this one is bad bonding too but don't know what the owner cracked trying to fix it, his wife says he squeezed the frame around the screen and cracked something, I think I will get it if they reply back with a pick up address or phone number so I can be sure they are home before I drive there.Comment

Re: Should I take it? Free Vizio VW46L FHDTV10A
This is my thinking. I wouldn't buy it. I have bought sets with bad panels for parts to sell on ebay, but its a pain in the ass. Boxing and mailing, confirmatoin numbers, postage, and time, its a lot. I always punch the model number into ebay to see the going rate for the boards before I buy them. I then undercut the lowest price on ebay for a quick sell. Its almost not worth it anymore though. Oh... and after all that, you have to get rid of the shell of the tv.The strong-minded rise to the challenge of their goals,the weak-minded BECOME HATERS

don't forget selling on eBay you must bend over backward for the buyer. If the buyer complaint to eBay that your part isn't working or haven't fix their problem, then you have to accept the part as a return and refund their money back. Free shipping is a must if you want a sale on eBay and to be competitive selling on eBay.Comment

That is fine, but what if he blew something out on that board?Comment

TV is Free, I could use the remote control on another working Vizio I have and just save the boards in case I need them later for one of my own repairs. and recycle the shell. Not sure yet what I will do but I do appreciate all the input. Thanks.Comment

Re: Should I take it? Free Vizio VW46L FHDTV10A
Agreed. Many of these buyers are "board swappers" who read on the internet that replacing a certain board will solve their problem. Of course it costs the buyer nothing to experiment with the seller's board and if they damage it in the process, they can claim it was defective and get their money back. To be fair, there are many sellers that try selling questionable boards that may/maynot work. Of course, for these type of sales the buyer will usually make the seller eat the cost of return shipping.Comment

The stand it's good to have too, sometimes you will find another one without stand and you can use it with that.
I while back I have picked up a broken screen Philips, only for the remote and stand. I was repairing at the same time the same model number without a stand and remote, so came in time for $40.Comment

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?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.

Hi.
picked up another TV. This time is a Vizio M65-C1. TV does not turn on. I had repaired another 60 inch vizio , Bad main board.
When power button is pressed, the Power led indicator on the bottom right, turns for a few seconds and then it fades away. No backlight or Vizio logo on screen. Removed back cover and repeated test.
This is the TV This TV is a little different from the Samsung I have worked on. Power supply is on the Left side, Main Bd is on the right side, T-CON , not in the picture is on the bottom. I am assuming that the boards in the middle are the LED... -
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... -
Bug looks like hardware so thought I posted it here. Exact same behavior on 2 different model 4K Vizio TVs running their SmartCast smarttv software. After launching youtube app, press vizio button on remote to return to the smarttv menu, once in awhile, a column of bad pixels will show for few seconds on the left hand side.
It seems the vizio software is reinitializing hardware when returning to the smarttv menu. In general, SmartCast software isn't very good. Also will randomly (relatively infrequent) get no network connection when on wifi and require reboot....
