    Vizio D65U-D2 Intermittant Back lights

    Started inspecting a d65u-d2 for losing picture while watching. Using a flash light I was able to determine a backlight issue. It could take 5 minutes or all day. Once it does it you can get it to repeat fairly quickly. Every time you shut off the tv and turn it back on the lights come back on atleast for a minute. Since I knew it was a lighting issue I started testing at the inverter board. All voltages into the inverter board tested the same when the backlight were on or off. Voltages out did vary. With or with out the back lights on the White and Red pairs of wires all tested around 24 volts. With the back lights on the black wires vary between 3 volts and .5 volts. With the backlights off all but one carries 6.8 volts. The 3rd black wire in from the left on the left connector continously varries voltage.

    I suspect bad led strips. I believe the led is getting warm and shorting out. Any opinions?

      This TV doesn't have an "inverter board" since it is a LED TV. So it has a LED driver board.
      I think that one of the LED's in the backlight is failing. So what you can do here is to turn down the backlights in the menu to next to nothing and see if the backlights stay on longer. IF that is the case, you have to tare down the panel and replace the failing LED(s) or the LED strip(s).

          I unplugged half the led driver board, the white and black side stays on and the red and black side turns off. I turned down the back lights and it has been on for a couple hours now with both plugged in.

              I figured... so you have a bad LED somewhere on those backlight strips.

                  Took it apart and found 1 led that was bad. Repaired the strip and it is working fine now.

                          Have one with backlight only staying on if turned down really low (like 30%) much brighter will cause the backlight to shutdown.

                          Ran a youtube white screen test and 1 dead row of LED was visible.



                          This TV has 16 LED strips (8x 3V LED each strip). Have a LED driver board that supply voltage to all 16 strips independently with 2 connectors. Each connector responsible for 8 strips and 1/2 of the screen. Can use a LED tester to confirm bad LED strip and not the driver board at these connectors.



                          LED driver board will also allow TV to run with 1/2 screen of backlights. Useful for debugging.

                          Replaced all 16 strips (new strips were slightly brighter and I suppose will last longer than keeping the old strips that are still good)

                              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...

                              This happened last Saturday and today I finally had time this morning before I went to work to replace two non brand capacitors

                              I will let you be the judge weather or not these are bad or not according to the blue ESR meter that I am using

                              I am comparing them to a brand new one that I installed

                              The display came back on and the programming was not lost which I was surprised by I would have thought that when the display went blank that so did the memory as well

                              My LG tv started going dark a few seconds after powering on. I replaced the led back lights after doing the flashlight test. The problem I am having now is the bottom of the screen is really bright and the middle to the top of the screen is darker. I can actually see the individual leds at the bottom of the screen. Not sure why that is. I've tried lowering the backlight setting but I can still see the led's at the bottom, and the middle to the top of the screen gets even darker.

                              by giddyupngo
                              Hello, I would appreciate your expertise on this. I have about 5 years experience with copier repair, so I have done a lot of board and component replacement. This is the first LCD TV I tried to repair, and it really humbled me. The issue was that on power on the TV power light would go on and then fade out seconds later, and there was no image at all, screen stayed black.

                              I thought this meant there was a power board problem, not realizing that the power light fading out was by design, probably so the light would not distract the TV watcher. This is not my TV, so I wasn't familiar...
