Vizio LED TV possible purchase

[tibimakai]

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.
