Can't say for positive but a new mainboard should do the trick.

Theres no lock out procedure checking like to see it has to be the same model as the old board in tv to be compatible I hear rumor ifts not just gets stuck on the logo screen as it turns on

You want to match up the numbers of the white sticker on the mainboard, the one starting with TXCC.

Who said it wasn't a match? Those 2 boards sure look like a match, just like this one: https://www.shopjimmy.com/vizio-cbpf...-m3d550kde.htm

NO, you need to take the back cover OFF, then look on the metal chassis, it will be on a sticker sticking to the chassis, sometimes it will be under some type of shield that may also need removed but not usually.

Actually the seller isn't responsible if you order the wrong board, they're only to blame if you get a faulty board, it's up to you to match the boards or ask seller if knowledgeable, if it's a match. I had that problem once, sold a board to a "tv shop" they bought the board, board didn't work for them, they said it was broken, they want a refund, I asked what their panel number was, wasn't even close. Mistakes are made, I refunded minus shipping, wasn't about to pay shipping for their mistake, now I ask the necessary info. of any buyer, no matter if they call themselves a "tv shop" or not, to try and minimize these mistakes. Sell very seldom tho, not much left after ebay and others get 13% off the top, not to mention shipping, It wasn't my fault or ebays or the shipper, it was a stupid mistake by someone who didn't do their homework.

[nomoresonys]

Re: Vizio M3d550kde Black and White screen menu has color

Not sure what "clip" you mean, try it without hooking it up, if there's no problems you might not need it.
