Vizio LED Panel Swap

[plural]

Hi! I have an M70-D3 series Vizio with a cracked screen. I've had it apart which seems easy enough but was wondering if other 70" LEDs (seem to have the same resolution) from the Vizio line are compatible.

I guess the question is, are the LED panels more or less the same, and the main differences in models software/hardware/accessory based?

May be a basic question but I appreciate the advice. The donor model would be a D70-DC in this case.

Thanks!

You need to look up the spec sheet of the LCD panel to find out what the requirement are for the LEDs'

If the Panel Nos. on donor and recipient match then yes it may work. Then look at the T-CON Bds are they different or the same? The T-CON Bd has software and may be different if the T-CON Bds are different.

Thanks so far.

As far as the panel numbers, I tried looking for part numbers online but hit a dead end. I figured I'd look up the part number for the M70 & D70 and see if they matched but couldn't find anything.

Is there a reference out there for Vizio LED Panel Part #'s or specifications that I might have missed on this Forum or elsewhere?

I can probably try to google images of both model tcon boards on both models to see if the connectors are similar.

Physically look at the panel or on the chassis there may be a sticker with the info you want....searching on-line WILL bring you no results.

Looked at the TCON boards across both models - M70 has 4 connectors whereas D70 has 2 connectors. So the connectors would be different across both model's panels (different panels basically).
