Vizio VP503 color issue..

[Digglr]

Hello all!

I've been tinkering with TV's for a awhile, and with the help of this forum, have been pretty successful on repair. I have a new issue I haven't seen before. Its a Vizio VP503.. the screen looks fine upon initial turn on, but when it goes to the input (TV, HDMI... doesn't matter)... the color gets all saturated and distorted. Has anyone dealt with this before? Is it repairable? Thanks in advance for the help!!

Looks like t-con failure.


If the menus appear as normal then it would suggest mainboard fault.
If the menus are also appearing strange it will be the t-con.

If it has a mainboard/tcon combined then it's that.

Thanks for the reply! The menus are fine. Not sure if the Tcon is seperate. I'll do some research. Thanks!!!

I got another main board... but unfortunately same thing. The menu's seem fine... but any input (HDMI, CABLE, ETC) are like the pic I attached. Any other ideas?
