Substitute Replacement for Vizio VT470M & VA320M

[ALR]

I have a VT470M that I tested it down to the mainboard. Has the I believe EEPROM issue where it just lags at the initial vizio logo on the screen but doesn't finish booting. Powers on/off fine but just hangs like a PC hangs on Windows logo.

So this is the model on the board. CBPF9D1KZ3 715G3473-2

I can't find a replacement board but found a exchange service on Ebay.

Now, I also happened to find this board.

715G3417-4 CBPF9D1KZ2 Believe it's a VA320M

Here is mine on shopjimmy

I know most of the time is shows substitute parts listed but also know they don't always. They look exactly the same. I've been scanning them over. I know the IR sensors on both the models are the same.

I'm hoping there won't be any real issue by using this board and hoping to cut back the waiting game.

Also the cheaper board, guy said if it doesn't work, I can send back for a complete refund and he will also pay for return shipping.

Most of the time a mainboard from a different size tv will not work. Has to do with the programming for picture size.

It would probably display a 32" picture on the 47" screen.

I wouldn't try that, the VA320M use a LG Panel and the VT470M use a Chi Mei.
T-CON boards are not the same
