Re: Vizio VW42LHDTV10A screen blue with lines
UPDATE!! :-D
Got the T-Con board from my brother in the mail today, installed (screw holes lined up perfectly (even sent the screws LOL)) And here are the results! Turns out it WAS the wrong T-Con board and U33 was bad after all.
Thank you everyone for all your help, I appreciate it!!...

He said the screen went black and it had colored vertical lines back in January. He is sending me the original T-con board. I will update again after I get the board and troubleshoot further. I'm just trying to keep from buying a panel or throwing the TV away if I can help it.Leave a comment:

Great, just found out that my brother did change out the T-con board, lost the screws and looks like installed the wrong t-con board since the mounting holes do not line up....Leave a comment:

I may be grasping at straws here but I just took the cover off of the Tcon board to check the ribbon cables and realized that there are no screws holding the board in the tv. My brother must have had it opened at some point, or someone has and didn't put the screws back. Around the board is copper, are the screw points grounds for the board?Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio VW42LHDTV10A screen blue with lines
I'm not sure it's worth changing the panel, might cost close to the same for a new TV. Is there any way that I can test the panel to be sure before spending the money?...Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio VW42LHDTV10A screen blue with lines
Sorry, I am somewhat a newb posting on forums, here are pictures of when the TV is first turned on and then after sitting a minute, with a black shadow like area at the lower left hand corner. Could it still be the Tcon board or the panel? Thanks for your reply Pentium4....Last edited by BryB; 06-02-2013, 04:08 PM.Leave a comment:

Vizio VW42LHDTV10A screen blue with lines
My TV was given to me by my brother because it went out and he didn't want to mess with it. The TV would turn on, screen was black and it would not turn off by the power button. I found the readings on U33 were off so I replaced it. Now the screen is blue with lines but I can also turn it on and off using the power button. Any suggestions on what will help with the screen now?...
