    Vizio P65-F1 White Spots

    Vizio 65" P65-F1
    Original issue: No power, no picture, no sound
    Fixed the issue by replacing bad Main board 715G9370-M02-B00-005T (typical Vizio reflow issue) with 715G9370-M02-B00-005K
    I realize the boards are not completely the same, but I have seen repair videos in which many do use different boards like this, so I took a chance.

    Replacement board fixed original issue but now I see ( not sure how to describe this ) white glows in certain parts of the screen which will move depending on what is shown on the screen. This issue is clearly more obvious with black backgrounds but still noticeable in most screens.
    To be clear, this is not the same issue I have fixed in the past with LG TVs where the LED lens fall off, these glows/patches/spots move depending on what is shown on the screen.
    I could take pictures but it will be difficult.

    What I have tried so far:
    Removed and re-seated all ribbon cables especially the ones to the Tcon
    Factory reset
    Through the Service menu Backlight Test
    Removed main and made sure it was firmly in place with heatsinks lined up over thermal pads


    Questions
    Could this issue be caused because of the T to K main board difference ?
    Is there any sort of main calibration function that the TV can be put through so that it calibrates to the new Main ( if that even exists )?
    Should I replace the Tcon ? Although usually when I have seen Tcon related issues the artifacts are static and not dynamic like in this situation.

    Thanks

      I think replacement board is programmed for different LED pattern. What you described looks like dimming, but in wrong places. Try to disable auto-adjusting picture settings.

          Maybe you can select different panel somewhere in service menu?

              I think you guys are on the right track, I set the Picture Mode to Computer and now the backlight issue is gone. I will try later today to play with all the settings to see which in that mode caused the change..

              I will also check the service menu to see if I can find anything related to panel.

                  Finally narrowed down the issue the Active Full Array feature under "more picture settings" . As long as I keep this OFF then does not matter which Picture setting I use.

                  Also found this article which is exactly my issue:

                  Thanks for the help guys

                      Full array dimming is nice - when it works. You can probably get that to work properly by swapping the NAND firmware chip from your dead board to the replacement one, but if it works...

                      A working TV? How boring!

                          I do have the capability to do that but the board is now long gone so I will just stick to not using the feature.. Still a good secondary TV

                              Vizio m601d-a3 backlight issue
                              by Mectronik
                              Hello, I'm working on a Vizio m601d-a3 with a backlight issue that I am having a difficulty diagnosing it. As it sits, the tv powers on, displays the Vizio symbol and with nothing hooked up it will then display no signal but you can only see half of the screen. I know it's a back light issue because the picture is there without light behind it, as I can see it by doing a light test. I've taken off the paneling and done a visual inspection. If I disconnect the tcon ribbon cable to the affected side then the entire half of the screen goes away. I've checked voltages at the LED driver from the main...

                              Asus rog strix scar 17 G733QR display Issue(flicker, black/white))

                              Hello,

                              Asus rog strix scar 17 G733QR
                              My Asus laptop started flickering from time to time and more and more in last months. First the screen was going black but sometimes if I moved the screen it would work again, other times I needed to plug/unplug the laptop or close and open the lid to make it work again.

                              In last days I see that if I move the laptop lid to about 45 degrees it will flicker or get white or black screen(it's random, sometimes white sometimes flickers etc). I was trying to troubleshoot it myself but seems like it's either the cable or the display....

                              Vizio P759-G1, Tcon issue?
                              by EazyBone
                              Got this TV free. Guy said it tries to turn on and doesn't. I haven't seen this specific issue before but shown in video. Any way to test the screen to rule it out on these Vizio? Or anyone seen this issue before?

                              Any help appreciated

                              Vizio E65-E1 strange image issue
                              by remmurdmd
                              Hi everyone. First new thread here. I picked up a TV on the side of the road. It appears to function correctly with the exception of an image issue I'm unable to describe. I've searched for “double picture” and “double image” all over the web and all I get is repair videos for when the picture is blurry and the connections are getting interference between the display panels and the t-con board. I believe this is a t-con board issue, but I haven't found anything telling me conclusively that this is where my issue is. I'd appreciate any assistance you can provide. I live a pretty busy life...

                              Issue with 42 Vizio TV
                              by derrickcaputo
                              Hello,
                              I have a 42" Vizio TV. I hooked my tablet to the HDMI inputs. Everything was fine until the screen went black and now the only input that works on the TV is coax. No hdmi, no component, no rca. I tried hooking up a laptop to the Hdmi port and the computer
                              detected the TV model but no image.

                              Is there anyone having the same issue? Did you find any solution?
