    Vizio vt471xvt

    Hi Guys, This tv started with no picture sound ok, i found the problem to be in power supply/inverter, replaced module with a used one. picture looked normal after that, put the cover back on, tried the tv again and this is what i get! (see picture) any idea what can cause this??

      reseated ribbon cables,cleaned all connectors with contact cleaner,still same problem.
      are there any test points that can be checked?

        Since it was fine until you replaced the back cover I'm wondering if you dislodged the ribbons that enter the driver boards across the LCD panel.. Did you check those?

          I can see them by looking at the end of the ribbon cables and they seem to be in contact with the sockets? Can the power supply cause something like this,the voltages are dead on also checked for ripple and its ok.

            Possibly.
            if voltages are OK i wouldn't look that way though.


            Re seat those cables just in case, seems mighty odd that when you put the back on it started doing it, those cables could of easily been dislodged slightly

                Ok,Placed wrong screws in wrong holes! That chewed up some of the prints on the panel board. Repaired all prints, Should have been a surgeon! Bu now i believe i have a problem with tcon board. there is a 3a fuse not blown, 11.75v on it there is a regulator not sure probably 3.3v the main ic is running a bit warm,any more input will be greatly appreciated.

                    Yes, I am thinking that maybe the screws shorted something out when i switched the tv on.

                                Really need to see a picture of the damage, but its my thought that the damage is beyond any repair

                                See what Tom thinks too

                                  Yeah, if you damaged the panel board and you can't fix it... game over sorry.

                                    Yes the panel board was damaged,had to jumper a total of 8 traces, did a continuity on all traces and test ok. No components were damaged.

                                          Hello, i am working on Vizio M70-C3. It can hardly power on, it takes 15 power button presses or remote. Seems like eeprom problem that I seen before but all reading online says that this tv has power board or main board problem.

                                          by ggil44
                                          Hi I inherited a Vizio M65-E0 that isn't working. It must have been dropped on the corner because I found that the infrared circuit had a capacitor with one end broken off of the board and some green corrosion around the plug to the main board. I re-soldered the capacitor and cleaned the corrosion well and tried turning the M65-E0 on and I was successful. My problem is that while the back lights come on and appear to perform local dimming there is no picture or sound. It kind of looks like you are looking at the TV through a very dense fog, where changing the input on the remote will change bright...

                                          HI all,
                                          hope someone point to the possible issue before I start buying replacement parts.
                                          Tv starts normal and responds to remote fine, PSU voltages mesured fine 19v was 18.9V under load and 19V with main board disconnected.
                                          Backlight stays on all the time,
                                          Sound works fine.
                                          screen keeps changing form black to full picture in about 1sec intervals.
                                          Picture looks fine with no visible artifacts.
                                          I have disconnected backlights and flashlight test confirmed that picture is still doing the same.


                                          Disconnecting left and right ribbons on...

                                          by csmith
                                          I replaced the backlights all good. Two months later set was dead, had a shorted D9100, replaced all good again.
                                          Now months later set powers up,backlights light ok,no picture. 12volts missing from fuse on tcon. 12VA on power
                                          supply is 19 volts. Changed D9100 again, same, 12 volts measures 19. Am I looking at a power supply or mainboard
                                          issue. Set will power up with remote but not power off....

                                          If only the ribbon cable that feeds the right side of the screen (when viewed from the front) is disconnected, the left side of the screen shows picture and...
