Hi I recently acquired a Vizio LCD TV model VL370M and when i unplug it to hard reset sometimes it works perfect. then shortly after it has rolling colored line horizontally. I would think its the T CON board except most common is vertical lines. Ive been told bad Lcd screen but why would it work perfect sometimes? Pressing on the screen does not change any look at all. I have takin pictures of the different behaviors and hope i can post them here. (new to all this) Just wondering where you guys would start with this thing or if its a junk screen. Thanks!

Re: Vizio VL370M
It can be that the ICs on the flexible circuit board between the LCD glass panel and the long tab bonding circuit boards heated up and failed to function.Never stop learning

Re: Vizio VL370M
Ok so i finally got some cold spray. Started it up from hard reset, works perfect, warms up and starts acting up, spraying around and hit t con at one point, fixes it for a minute, cant replicate again on same reset cycle. Is it at all possible that t con board is causing the issues or the flex ribbon connecting it? If i leave it alone unplugged and go out tomorrow after it sat on hard reset the TV reliably works perfect for a minute or 2. Any thoughts?Comment

Re: Vizio VL370M
I would be curious to see what happens if you start it cold,so it works perfect,then keep spraying cold spray at the t-con,to keep it cold(enough to keep it frosty) and see if you can keep it working good longer. That would tell you its tcon related,yes/no.Proud owner of dozens of broken TV's and many,many,many boards.

Re: Vizio VL370M
Thank you for your suggestion Martino, freezing the t-con seems to directly effect the picture and fix it. I am willing to take the risk on trying a new t-con board and hopefully end up with a fully functional TV. I was about to trash it because nearly everywhere states that horizontal lines such as the ones pictured above can not be t-con related. But alas the board on this particular set is not next too anything else so it has to be at the very least a part of the problem. Ill let you all know when the part comes in.Comment

Re: Vizio VL370M
Do you have the pictures of the area of the T-CON that you freeze spray and causes the pictures to be normal again?Never stop learning

Re: Vizio VL370M
well the tv displays an different problem now, the old T-CON board seemed to had died. The screen only has backlight now. Replacment part came today, same problem. Any possible causes or suggestions? Not sure what else could make it seem like a T-CON issues, maybe bad main board? Where to start.Comment

by spice_discI'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.
The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...1 Photo -
by Ryan.manHello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!
My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.
This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen... -
by smic717394Hi,
I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on... -
by paqmanSo our beloved M60-C3 up and died the other day. I was not there, my wife mentioned that it came on, displayed the logo, then showed the right half of the screen white and fuzzy, with the left half of the screen ok. However when I got around to looking at it, the screen would not come on at all. The indicator LED will come on, then dim a bit. After a while, the LED might blink a bunch of times. I can't get it to be consistent to do that.
So I've got the back off and am checking voltages. The capacitors on the power supply board visually check out. No bulges or anything. They all show... -
by ChrissygizmoHello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same... - Loading...
