Vizio E420i-a0 Vertical Lines

[mitchkramez]

Hello everyone. Fixed a handfull of tv's with this forums help over the years, hoping to add one more to the pile!

I have a Vizio E420i-a0 that has vertical lines when you turn it on, and DOES have sound. The vertical lines move and change. TV turns on and off fine otherwise.

I have a few photos of the issue here, and video on youtube:

Anything else I can check or is this just a mainboard failure - or is this full on panel failure?

Thanks for the help!

it's an LG panel. I can get you more details if you want when I'm back at home. Are you saying keep the backlights for selling them?
