Hey Guys,

Been looking around this forum a lot and people have been super helpful, well I totally figured out HOW to fix this tv, after disassembly I found out it was the Tab Bonds, two to be exact, with specific and exact pressure I can get all the lines to go away along with image blurring, I'm just wondering what advice people have for where to get thermal padding and how to attach it etc..

Thanks again everyone!

Re: vizio m3d650sv with Ghosting and vertical lines

Is it worth taking it apart and checking the tabs or swapping out a 15 dollar TC board, if I tap on the screen itself it just gets whiter/lighter anywhere but I can't directly affect the line or the ghosting from tapping anywhere as far as I can tell.

I found this TV outside so there isn't really a loss for me, just wondered if it was something I could fix (i'm pretty technologically inclined)

Hi I'm Michael,

I have a vizio m3d650sv with 3 1/2 -1 inch thick vertical lines on the left panel that are both black and colored. The panel also will leave behind traces of the original image with it taking some time for the original image to bleed away, even when turning to a black screen.

Think of it as a type of ghosting that is very slow, it doesn't seem to affect the left part of the panel.

However I noticed when unplugging the HDMI cable while a movie was playing, the blurred images remain even on a blank screen.

The vertical lines...
