    Vizio VF550M No picture, blue streak at top.

    Just acquired this old girl from a neighbor that didn't want to mess with it. Thought I would at least check it out and make sure it's not a cheap fix. I can't really seem to find any common denominator's with this model so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I've attached a picture of the screen, and this is universal to all inputs (including the OTA tuner) so I'm thinking it's not the input board. Any ideas on where to start? I know this isn't worth spending much on, but would be nice to get a few years out of it if I can still find parts.

    Thanks in advance for any and all help.

              When I first started working on LCD TVs I spent lots of money on lots of T-CON boards expecting to fix this problem but none were fixable.

                  Hello, i am working on Vizio M70-C3. It can hardly power on, it takes 15 power button presses or remote. Seems like eeprom problem that I seen before but all reading online says that this tv has power board or main board problem.

                  Vizio M65-E0 No Picture, No Sound
                  by ggil44
                  Hi I inherited a Vizio M65-E0 that isn't working. It must have been dropped on the corner because I found that the infrared circuit had a capacitor with one end broken off of the board and some green corrosion around the plug to the main board. I re-soldered the capacitor and cleaned the corrosion well and tried turning the M65-E0 on and I was successful. My problem is that while the back lights come on and appear to perform local dimming there is no picture or sound. It kind of looks like you are looking at the TV through a very dense fog, where changing the input on the remote will change bright...

                  Vizio m65-c1 picture flashing on and off on the screen
                  by maricm
                  HI all,
                  hope someone point to the possible issue before I start buying replacement parts.
                  Tv starts normal and responds to remote fine, PSU voltages mesured fine 19v was 18.9V under load and 19V with main board disconnected.
                  Backlight stays on all the time,
                  Sound works fine.
                  screen keeps changing form black to full picture in about 1sec intervals.
                  Picture looks fine with no visible artifacts.
                  I have disconnected backlights and flashlight test confirmed that picture is still doing the same.

                  Vizio D50u-D1 Powers up no picture
                  by csmith
                  I replaced the backlights all good. Two months later set was dead, had a shorted D9100, replaced all good again.
                  Now months later set powers up,backlights light ok,no picture. 12volts missing from fuse on tcon. 12VA on power
                  supply is 19 volts. Changed D9100 again, same, 12 volts measures 19. Am I looking at a power supply or mainboard
                  issue. Set will power up with remote but not power off....

                  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...
