    Vizio sv370xvt

    The problems started with it taking 5-10 minutes after being turned on for the picture to show up. We continued using it and now it is just the opposite. The picture comes on immediately but then goes off not to return no matter how long you leave it on. I suspect it to be the Tcon board but I am not sure. Does anyone or can anyone provide me with some suggestions etc. I don't have the back off yet so no pictures, but I will provide some soon.

    Thanks in advance for any ad all help.

    OK, post good clear pictures of the back side of the TV so we can see how all the boards are connected together.
    Do see the backlights by looking at the holes on the back of the LCD panel or look at the front in the dark room?
    If you do have backlights but no pictures then we can suspect the T-CON, if you do not have backlights then we need to look at the signals from main board, the power supply board, the backlights inverter board, etc.

        I have taken several pictures including ones that show the screen immediately after being turned on. The screen is completely lit up all the back lights are on. I had to split the power board into different pictures in order to provide up close pictures. I think there are a total of 14 different shots of the back. I was surprised by the number of solid state caps on the boards. Have they really started improving the quality of the boards in these televisions now that they have had so many problems?

          I don't know why the pictures do not open inside the post. I am sorry you have to click on each one separately in order to view them.

            It looks like the TFT is not getting the drive voltages from the T-CON. From my experience, it is either T-CON or the panel.
            I had to fix your pictures for it to show up.

              Thanks for fixing the pictures, How did you do that? I tried to follow the instructions but they didn't open up like they were supposed to. I am going ahead and ordering a T-con board today. After it comes in I will post and tell if this corrected the problem. That should be middle of next week. Thanks for your help. I am still struggling to learn all of the ins and outs of diagnosing problems. I downloaded your guide for repairing monitors and televisions and it is a big help. I had a friend give me a 65" WD65833 Mitsubishi that is my next project. It has the flashing green light of death. So far I have found and replaced one surface fuse on the power board so I might ask for your help with it later. Can you provide me with a name of a guide that can help me learn how to follow and test board components? The T-con board for example is mainly solid state I think so it would be nice to know how to test it and verify what is bad even though it is highly doubtful I could ever repair one.

                Just ordered the Tcon board. I don't believe it is the panel because the picture comes on beautifully for all of about 5 seconds before it goes crazy. If that doesn't fix it I will just turn around and resell the board plus the other parts.
                Thanks for your help.

                    Try having ribbon cables between T-CON board and the LCD panel connected one at time to see what you get on the screen.

                      VIZIO M557-G0: Backlights or ???
                      by bpcannan
                      'Morning,
                      I get sound and picture when powering on the TV and its stays that EXCEPT that the left half of the screen will dim every few seconds then return to normal while the right side of the screen performs as designed.

                      Did the soft and hard reset options pulling the plug, using the reet option in the vizio menu to no avail.

                      I checked the mainboard - found some popped capacitors so replaced it - but that did not change the situation.

                      I checked the t-con board. It is getting good power. Then I removed one ribbon cable to see if I could isolate...

                      Vizio-D50u-D1 Pulsating Backlights
                      by csmith
                      This Vizio came in the shop with no backlights. Replaced all the strips with replacement from Shop Jimmy. Set now has backlights but lights pulsate on left side. Half the screen brightens up then goes to normal then repeats.
                      Am I looking at a defective strip? Thanks in advance.

                      Hi it looks like everything works don't know where to test except the 390v in the 2 capacitor in the hot side of the power supply and the weird 180v in the diodes in the cold side that should be discharged it is writin on the circuit no more you can read what is written on the circuit quite srrange color mixiing yellow and white
                      anyhow i couldn't t read anything else

                      by x_orange90_x
                      I've had this monster for several months as I've hesitated to order backlights for it. Finally did order them and they are due to arrive tomorrow. Besides having ample space to work, are there any recommendations for working on such a massive screen? Should I remove the panel by myself or would 2 people be a better choice? I bought the double-cup suction cups from Harbor Freight and have been using them for the last few repairs on smaller screens. They are far superior to the single cup orange ones I used previously that would often let go without warning 😱.

                      I have not replaced...

                      Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
                      by x_orange90_x
                      I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

                      I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...
