Cartoons looks good but other channels show it a lot more.

Out of curiosity, what would happen if I took the other side drivers off?

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

You would have nothing but vertical bars as the panel will dots be able to gate drive the information from the source drivers anymore

Pull the right T con ribbon. Let the left side only run. Do you see any dark areas on the left side of the panel? Also on the right side it will be white does that look dark in the center?

Makes sense lol. Just wondering. Im about to give up hope. Someone suggested earlier to disconnect the tcon board on that side but I never found out why.

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

Doing it now. Should I pull both on the right side and just leave the 2 on the left connected?

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

Never mind. You mean on top of the board? Thwres 2 black ones. Pull the one on the right?

There was no picture. Only sound.

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

That's what I pulled, hope it was correct.

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

you need to pull the one for the same side that the tabs were removed. If you pull the one for the other that doesn't have the side tabs removed, you will get no picture.... since no signal will be delivered to any sides. you should see half a screen with some picture and half that is white.

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

That's the side I pulled.

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

??? don't understand... after you pulled the tcon to panel cable, you got NO picture?

[sawilson]

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

Yeah. No picture at all. Only sound.

You pulled one of the two LVDS cables between the main board and the T-CON board, not the cables (4 white flat cables) between the LCD panel and the T-CON board, that is why you do not get the pictures.

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

Ok. I was wondering if I pulled the right one or not. Figured I didn't. Will pull the 2 when I get home from work. Honestly about to see if a sledge hammer will fix the problem...

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

Ok. So here's the pic after right side tcon ribbons pulled. Is there anything else that I can try? Would love to keep the TV but its driving me crazy lol. I'm a "work on it till its fixed or till its dead type of guy". So I'll try anything.

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

Does the left side still display the dark spots with righty disconnected ?

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

I would look over the areas where u removed the tabs very closely (magnifying glass). U may have shorted line. otherwise your going to have to live with pic

Yeah, there's still some shadowing there. I honestly think the suction cups were the problem. Which pisses me off. I will not use them on a panel again.

Re: 70in Vizio m70-c3 replaced led's now picture screwed up.

you never really answered the question as to whether the suction cups had "valving" for releasing air / vacuum? Also, how did you actually apply them... blaming them for this might not solve any future issue if it was "operator error", regardless of what cup system you used.
