    Vizio P50 HDTV20 Plasma

    Picked this up for $20 to see if I could fix it. There are vertical lines in various places (see picture). Is this a bad panel or something fixable?

    I'll let someone else chime in, but that looks like a bad panel to me.

      I'm sad to say that is a bad panel. I had the exact same issue on the 42" version of that panel. I had two sets so I swapped every board from the other set into the one with the lines. They didn't ever go away.

        I'm going to agree. The plasma panel is bad....

          I kinda thought it was the panel. Thanks guys!! It has LG guts so guess I'll sell the
          boards after I replace a couple of caps on the power supply.

            The Y-sus and Z-sus both work and go for about $70 each due to being so rare, so you haven't really lost out!

              Vizio E70-E3 Two white vertical lines
              by brad2157
              I picked up a Vizio E70-E3 for free that shows Vizio logo and then goes to a black screen. Original owner said he started having wifi issues and then he tried to reset the TV and that's when it wouldn't boot up any longer after his reset attempt. I picked up a replacement main board from eBay that matches the same model # board as the original from the TV.

              Original main board - Shows Vizio logo when TV powers on, then goes to black screen. Doesn't boot up. No screen issues with any lines on start up Vizio logo.

              Replacement main board - Boots up fine, but starting...

              TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
              by howardc64
              All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
              • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
              • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

              Vizio V585-J01 dancing lines and image doubling
              by x_orange90_x
              I got this tv yesterday and it shows a screen full of colored vertical bars and horizontal lines that move, change, and dance around. When the set is powered on there is a slight buzz from the tcon. I removed one ribbon at a time and this was the result:

              Right side connected, left side disconnected = half image on right (somewhat distorted, see photo attached) white screen on left. NO buzzing from TCON

              Left side connected, right side disconnected = right side black, left side white with distorted horizontal lines near top of screen. Buzzing from TCON

              I swapped...

              vizio e65 e3 LED tv color vertical lines center tv only
              by viking509
              I recently replaced the led backlights with LB65041 LED Backlight Strips and after putting it back together the backlights work but there are only colored vertical lines only in the center of the tv. I can see the Netflix logo (jumbled) after a minute or less the screen went dark. When I turned it on again the lines were back. Then I replaced the t-con board but the same vertical lines in the picture. My question is what is my next step? Could it be a source tab bond issue? A buffer board issue? Could I have loosened a connection to the panel when replacing the backlights? Should I replace the...

              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...
