    Vizio E422vl lightning damage

    My friend gave me this t.v. after it was hit by lightning. No burn marks and no blown capacitor. T.v. turns on and off fine. But the screen is completely white with black and colored vertical lines. Any advice? Tried posting pic but for some reason it won't work.

      Probably bad panel.

      Unfasten one of the tcon ribbons and see if you get a picture on 50% of the screen.

                    It tried to retain some white and colored vertical lines but the black slowly crept up and covered it

                        sounds like you got 2 problems. the tab bonds on the panel and the board.

                              with both unplugged it should be black. Plug in the left cable with the right unplugged and then the other way around.

                                  with one of the cable combination you got a half screen. Did the vertical color lines disappear or is it that where the screen retains some white and color lines and the black is creeping up?

                                    Lines disappeared. On half of it. Then switched sides when cables were switched
