Hi - Hope this is easier than your previous threads.
Seems flickering is common known fault - there are kits available on ebay
not saying you should buy one but they suggest which caps will need replacement providing your board is the same. I think Budm knows one of the sellers - he has his pics. H emay have others in his library which may help you.

Have you got in as far as the Tcon or did you just unplug the cable at the main board end. White screen is sometimes indicative of a fuse blowing on the tcon.

I am off to bed soon - Vizios seem to be generally poor. They often have voltage regulators that fail. There are quite a few on the main board so that should keep you busy. As you have guessed you may have multiple problems. Bad caps on the power and bad VRs on the main.
Flickering could also be down to bad caps on the inverter board or a lamp or lamp wiring fault. Is there any sound on any input - can you get a menu to show at all.

Re: Vizio 26" VW26L Flickering white screen

No-one?
I have been reading the other threads - perhaps try the hair dryer.
First on the Power supply see if it gees the caps up a bit.

then on the main board ( big processor) to see if anything changes.

Not too hot!!

Not the same as youir chassis.
It sounds like you haver two problems, one is flickering backlights, and dead T-CON board.
I would get to the T-CON board and checjt he fuse and the voltage on both ends of the fuse. T-con is under the metal shield.

BudM I looked at your photo's yesterday as you say not the same. I can not find the tcon board on this tv.do have any idea's where it's at? I looked under the main and power board

Re: Vizio 26" VW26L Flickering white screen

Not good news for your chassis, you have one of those LCD panel with integrated T-CON board (some kind of setup uses in the small PC LCD monitor). You will have to take the LCD pnael apart to get to the board to check the fuse, not sure if it will be worth it for 26" TV

Re: Vizio 26" VW26L Flickering white screen

It looks like it's integrated into the main board, there's a ribbon cable coming off of the top left. I just got a 47" Vizio E471VLE today, same thing..
