    Vizio PDP50X3T012 Nightmare

    Vizio P50HDTV10A Plasma Nightmare. Ok not a big fan of plasma and my experience is limited. what I am getting is a ghosting type flashing of the screen with no picture just that. Va and Vs voltage is right on the money and no blown fuses or swollen caps or anything getting hot that I can see. Other than this I'm not sure what to look at.

    IPM's on the Ysus are failing. You will need to replace those or get a rebuilt Y board. And probably the buffers too.

    I have one here doing the same thing, turns on, screen flashes a ghostly white/with a line down the middle.

    does it act like this?

    Vizio thread here, I know yours is a different model but I am sure they are pretty close internally.

      That looks almost exactly like it but I don't get the wide line down the center. I though a fuse would blow when IPM failed??

        they are technically still working but they are on their last legs and will eventually die/pop.

        I have been told in this state to not power the unit on with that plugged in cause if those IPMS do go they can/might take out buffers and cause more damage.

        Buffers are cheap, the Y-sus is about 135-155'ish.

        Oh and you got the Panel part number on your title (PDP50X3T012) is the screen its self

        P50HDTV10A is the correct one, or should be anyway

            No problem!

            I have had a couple of these beasts, when they are working they have a pretty nice 720P picture and were I am at they sell pretty quick right around the 200-300 range.

            Good luck!

              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...

              Vizio M65-C1
              by mrtek
              Hi.

              picked up another TV. This time is a Vizio M65-C1. TV does not turn on. I had repaired another 60 inch vizio , Bad main board.
              When power button is pressed, the Power led indicator on the bottom right, turns for a few seconds and then it fades away. No backlight or Vizio logo on screen. Removed back cover and repeated test.
              This is the TV This TV is a little different from the Samsung I have worked on. Power supply is on the Left side, Main Bd is on the right side, T-CON , not in the picture is on the bottom. I am assuming that the boards in the middle are the LED...

              Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel
              by howardc64
              Failure Symptom



              No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

              Where is the short?

              Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



              Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...

              Vizio SmartCast TV software bug that looks like hardware
              by howardc64
              Bug looks like hardware so thought I posted it here. Exact same behavior on 2 different model 4K Vizio TVs running their SmartCast smarttv software. After launching youtube app, press vizio button on remote to return to the smarttv menu, once in awhile, a column of bad pixels will show for few seconds on the left hand side.



              It seems the vizio software is reinitializing hardware when returning to the smarttv menu. In general, SmartCast software isn't very good. Also will randomly (relatively infrequent) get no network connection when on wifi and require reboot....
