    post a picture of the screen showing the menu that you are using to cause the scan... might help figure out where you are at versus where the forum is.

    further what is the surrounding "environment"... house / apartment / room.... how do you know that what the incoming cable is connected to... is it in a wall plate?

    Do a hard reset, factory default, rescan channels and report back.

    Can't scan for channels on Vizio gallevia

    So I have an older Vizio Gallevia hdtv my daughter gave me in bedroom, and trying to hook it up to broadcast antenna. On the remote I can chose input then tv and I choose air. Then it takes me to Auto scan for channels. Then is only auto scans the analog channels. It just stops and never scans the digital channels. Ive tried resetting the tv from the remote. It doesn't matter. It always stops halfway. it scans analog then just sits there and stops before scanning for digital channel. There is no way to manual program them you can only auto scan.

    Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
    by Tynan Dill
    I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

    Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

    I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

    The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

    With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

    Assuming...

    by mrtek

    When power button is pressed, the Power led indicator on the bottom right, turns for a few seconds and then it fades away. No backlight or Vizio logo on screen. Removed back cover and repeated test.
    This is the TV This TV is a little different from the Samsung I have worked on. Power supply is on the Left side, Main Bd is on the right side, T-CON , not in the picture is on the bottom. I am assuming that the boards in the middle are the LED...

    Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel
    by howardc64
    Failure Symptom



    No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

    Where is the short?

    Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



    Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...
