    VIZIO E552VL has mirrored, glitchy display

    A friend of mine brought this TV over and said that it had been looked at by sears or some other "professional" and they said the "panel was separating" or "the layers are separating" or something like that.
    we plugged it in, and it looked fine for about 30 minutes, then it started freaking out.
    heres what it does first: the image appears to be mirrored along a horizontal axis in the middle of the screen so you just see the top half of the screen in the top half, and the bottom half is just the top half again but upside down.
    better you see it for yourself:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSG4...ature=youtu.be
    and then after it does that for a minute or two it starts doing this:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSG4...ature=youtu.be
    actually after looking at it closer, it seems like in the first video the menu is not being mirrored along any axis, its just upside down..and backwards?
    oh and there used to be sound but now i get nothing.



    so is this indeed some kind of panel failure, or might it be TCON or Motherboard?

    the no sound and the strange backwards letters in the menu make me think main board

    could only find one main board for sale on ebay:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Main-Board-3...item1e92554413
    and its 193$ ...ouch!

    guess i better check the voltage regulators at least

      could be tcon, can't be certain, if you aren't the testing type, tcon might be worth trying, depending where you buy, they can be maybe 15-35 bucks, good luck.
      Quit because THIS SITE LETS A ROGUE MEMBER TYPE ANY GARBAGE HE PLEASES AND THE POWERS THAT BE NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SO HE NEVER QUITS. THEN YOU GET A PENALTY FOR RESPONDING TO HIS ATTACKS. BEEN GOING ON FOR WAY TOO LONG. DONE SUPPORTING A SITE THAT ALLOWS THIS BS.

                  and of course, its over 100$ to gamble... would be totally worth it if i was sure that was the problem.

                      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 E70-E3 Half picture with half TCON
                      by Fly_Among_Stars
                      Hi,
                      I have a VIZIO E70-E3.
                      Symptoms: Black screen, no picture, but LED backlights are working.
                      I probed the power board and voltages are as listed on the board.
                      Main board appears fine, too.
                      I believe the problem is either a bad T-CON board, or connection to LCD, or bad LCD.
                      There are two separate ribbon cables feeding the LCD.
                      If both are connected, the screen is black.

                      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...

                      Vizio M65-C1

                      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...
