Vizio e701-a3

[robert phelps]

I this set is got cheap, had a bad leds strip, replaced it, put set together and on the right and left sides of the screen, top to bottom looks like mountain ranges, highs and lows areas where there is no picture. Also 3 guarters of the way up on the right side is a line that goes from right to left 3 quarter across the screen. Can the t- contacts cause this? This set has 2 boards on the right and 2 boards on the left of the panel, and 4 across the bottom of set with jumper ribbon cables

Possibility that you didn't install the white diffuser sheet properly

Re: Vizio e701-a3

Do you know if you had this problem before you worked on it?

Re: Vizio e701-a3

Don't know, guy I got it from said picture wasn't working, he knew about the flashlight test and could see the image, until I replaced the led strip was when I first saw the screen all lite up

Shopjimmy video says these sets have a 70% panel failure rate, I hope not

Re: Vizio e701-a3

if it is still not totally "buttoned up", you can try disconnecting one of the tcon to panel cables and see what the result is on the picture. It should go all white on that side... hopefully.

My guess is you put it back together wrong such that there is pressure on the lcds... much like when you push on an lcd with your finger, it goes dark.... maybe... although that looks black which I do believe is kind of like a "grounding" issue.

Re: Vizio e701-a3

Ok will try that

Re: Vizio e701-a3

The panel should be loose and not under pressure. Did you put panel directly on the diffuser sheets?

Re: Vizio e701-a3

Well unhooked t-con to panel ribbon on one side, was all white on that side, could still see edges like described, unhooked both sides from t-con and just backlights, can still see edges and line at top of screen. Anyone need parts for a 70 inch vizio

Re: Vizio e701-a3

When you removed and reinstalled the screen did you make sure that you didn't cause any damage to the LCD panel? The look I'm seeing looks like LCD pressure bleed.

Re: Vizio e701-a3

This is a symptom of what happens to an LCD panel when it gets hit too hard or pressed to the point where it doesn't crack but it stresses the panel and puts pressure on the dialectic layers. Essentially it's bleeding internally
