    Vizio LED TV possible purchase

    I have found this TV and I know that Budm had this issue in the past and it wasn't fixable, due to corrosion on the tab contacts.
    I don't have a model number yet.
    Here is what it states:
    "I have this 42" Vizio LED TV as stated above. I spilled water on the front of it and now the picture is messed up.
    Hazy picture and solid white lines going through the display."

      Any water damage on newer panels is catastrophic.

          You could ask the seller if the liquid was spilled on the screen, or over the top of the unit. If it was spilled over the top of the unit it might have got in a vent and just killed the tcon, but more likely from the errors its giving, it leaked down the front and corroded some panel IC's. Either way i wouldnt spend more then 30 dollars including gas for it cause youd most likely only be able to recoup that by selling any good boards / LED strips.
          Fixed so far 12 lcd's , 1 plasmas, 5 monitors, 0 dlp's (plan to keep the dlps at 0). and 3 atx power supplies, and 2 motherboards.

              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...

              Vizio M65-C1
              by mrtek
              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...

              Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel
              by howardc64
              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...

              Vizio SmartCast TV software bug that looks like hardware
              by howardc64
              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....
