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!

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

That's pretty rare with most boards and it's often obvious.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

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.

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.

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.
