    Vizio P659-G1 Screen Removal / Backlight Replacement

    Hi All,
    Has anyone had the experience of replacing backights on the “P” series Vizio tv?
    Model number P659-G1
    This type tv has a very small bezel holding the screen in and I’m not sure how the bezel/screen is assembled. ( I’m hoping the screen is not epoxied to the frame)
    Before I attempt this I thought maybe someone on this forum has performed this backlight replacement procedure.

    Thanks in advance

          Hi,
          I was able to remove the screen pretty easily. ( I used a very thin piece of plastic material to slide around the outer perimeter of the LED panel)
          This allowed me to release the sealant which holds the screen to the mini bezel.

          Unfortunately getting that mini bezel removed from the tv frame is another thing.
          There are numerous metal directional one way fasteners that are attached to that bezel.
          From my point of view I see no way of releasing these fasteners. I tried prying up but, had no luck in getting them to release. (Nearly impossible to even see them)

          This tv is really annoying to be built without a way to repair something as simply and inexpensive as backlights.

          So I'm at the point of just scrapping it and salvaging the parts from it.

          Hope this helps!

              Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
              by reformatt
              Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

              It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

              Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
              by spice_disc
              I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

              The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

              Trouble to identify part (Lunii screen) for replacement
              by FreakyMex
              Hello guys. I'm a complete noob in electronics. I'd like to repair my child Lunii's (a "story box"), basically an audio player that allows the childs to choose between several options the places, characters, objects of the story, and then play a story according to the choice of the child. There is a screen that display the selected option before each choice. The Lunii fell and the screen is now broken.
              I'd like to repair it (probably just have to change the part, because the lunii still works perfectly fine) but I can't manage to identify the part/order it online. Do you have any...

              Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
              by Ryan.man
              Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

              My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

              This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

              Screen Replacement for A2337
              by kino0924
              Hi,

              I have a 2020 macbook air m1 that needs a screen replacement (cracked)

              Right now, I have few options but not sure what to take

              1. Screen only from aliexpress (80 USD)
              2. Housing and screen from aliexpress (144 USD)
              3. Genuine used screen from ebay (250 USD ish)
              4. New screen from ifixit (450 USD)

              To be honest, I dont think new screen from ifixit is worth it since I can get it replaced by apple with same amount of price (haha)

              Now, I am wondering is it really worth to spend 100 more on used genuine screen....
