Re: Backlight replacement mess, Vizio V505-G9

@nomoresonys thanks for your replies. I believe I did crack the upper left corner. Could that one quarter sized area create all the image problems I am having?

Hello, I would appreciate your expertise on this. I have about 5 years experience with copier repair, so I have done a lot of board and component replacement. This is the first LCD TV I tried to repair, and it really humbled me. The issue was that on power on the TV power light would go on and then fade out seconds later, and there was no image at all, screen stayed black.

I thought this meant there was a power board problem, not realizing that the power light fading out was by design, probably so the light would not distract the TV watcher. This is not my TV, so I wasn't familiar...
