My Vizio M60-C3 was dead. No power, no lights. Just nothing. So I took the back cover off and noticed 4 bulging caps on the power supply board, so I replaced them (green low esr capacitors in the picture). The tv now works! But there are some areas that look dim (see picture). In particular, the left side has a dim band. I know that the led strips run horizontal, yet this band is vertical. Could it be that the led driver board is bad? Could the blown caps have taken out the led driver board? Or is this just a coincidence that every left side led on each strip just went out?

Originally posted by dskall View PostI just repaired a 65" Vizio. The lower left quadrant was dim. When I got it apart there were 16 strips, and only 3 were working.
I ordered a full set from ebay and will report back the repair.
Could the cap issue have caused damage to the strips maybe through overvoltage ?
