Title should read vertical lines not horizontal. Mods please edit if possible. Thanks.
I have gone through many vizio threads over the last week and I think I am ready to tackle this frustrating TV.
First, vertical lines appeared in picture the and then the 5 HDMI inputs went out shortly after that (maybe a couple months). When they went out, I limped the TV along using RGB video cables. The lines were a moving target for a while, i.e. they weren't always in the same place and weren't always visible, sometimes they went away. More recently the lines were static and always along the right side of the TV from the viewer. The HD looked sharp (other than the lines) so I went with it. Now over the last month the picture is looking like clouds of circles with color bleeding, in addition, what I would describe as rectangular pixels (my own words here). See the pictures 1 through 3.
Everything else works as normal.
I took the back of the TV today and attached are pictures of the 4 major boards. See remainder of the pictures.
I have a digital mutli meter and have used on in the past. I may be slow but I can follow instructions.
I took a look around at circuit boards and nothing looks fried or bulging.
Please any help at where to start the diagnosis would be appreciated! I really would like to save this unit if possible and reasonable.
