    Vizio M470VSE LED half image

    Don't remember where I got this TV but here is what I'm dealing with.

    TV powers on and stays on. Responsive to both remote and buttons. It has audio but video is only displayed on half of the screen (see photo). Power board output measures normal.

    I initially thought it was the TCON, replaced it but no luck. Exactly the same thinng...LED driver illuminates entire screen, video only on half.

    What are the chances the main board is to blame? What about the ribbon or LVDS cables? I haven't done much with LEDs to know what to suspect and try first. I recall fixing an LG which had bad tab bonds by using weather stripping. Could the half screen video be a tab bond issue?

    Look forward to thoughts.

      I don't think a mainboard will cause just half screen to fail. Can you switch your ribbon cables and see if problem switches to other side.
      I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

          Switch the ribbon cables running from tcon to the panel. If the other half of screen starts working it is the ribbon cable. Go into menu to see more of the screen lit with an image.

              Switched the ribbons from left and right last night only to get the same issue. Doesn't look like the ribbon. I think I'll take the surround off of the panel this weekend and see if I get anywhere by putting pressure on the TABs.

                  half a image could also be a shorted smd capacitor on that side of the lcd panel pcb there been a few threads lately.

                                  Glad to hear everyone in agreement on the SMD idea. Assuming I test all of them on the bad half and identify it/them, should be able to just replace it correct?

                                      you may notice it getting hot but yes test all on that side there very small though this may not be the fault but at least you can rule them out.

                                          Hello 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...

                                          Hi guys
                                          I'm trying to fix this laptop screen

                                          Basically the owner is a computer shop and they brought it to me with two screens. They said the repair shop they use could not fix it, so I thought i would try to see if I am better than their current repairer!

                                          OK so I have the original screen which works but has lines across the bottom quarter of the screen

                                          I have the replacement screen, which they fitted and it worked. They then put the laptop on one side for a couple of weeks until they found a buyer. When they showed it to the buyer, the screen would...

                                          Hello 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...

                                          LG 55UH6150- trouble powering up, then half lit screen (pictures!)
                                          by valvashon
                                          The 55" LG has been in the basement for a few months without being used. Turned it on yesterday, set came on as it should and showed a complete screen for about 5 seconds (was on a broadcast channel but no antenna was connected), then the screen went mostly dark with about 1/3 of the screen on the right lighting up with brighter lines in that lit part (sorry, no pictures of that). Power LED was cycling too, preventing the TV from fully powering up.
                                          Pulled the back off, all boards looked OK. Pulled the LED connector, turned the set on to see if it would power up but I don't belive it...

                                          good night! I have this screen that looks half black and half white. the tcon gives a low vgh value (5-6v). the rest seem fine. I first removed the flex from one half of the panel and then the other. Removing the left, vgh increases it to 25-26v. I think the problem is in that area, but there are not many elements on the integrated controller board. there are no shorted capacitors. could they be a cof? Some help?

                                          By the way, now the entire screen is black. Maybe some flex was not connected correctly... I have exchanged the flex and there are no variations, I don't think they are the...
