Vizio 60" E60-C3 LED TV Repair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2017
- TV just gives a quick flash and shuts down back lighting because of defective LED's.
I recommend to replace all 12 strips if you can find them in stock.
Each strip has 8 LED's for a total of 96 LED's.
The LED's are 3030 3v SMD.
Tools I use:
Microscope:
amzn.to/2xH6N7Q
Microscope light:
amzn.to/2wuzLsW
Microscope barlow lens:
amzn.to/2vWb3OK
Hot air station #1 (I use the industrial version 8900):
amzn.to/2vVZOpq
Hot air station #2 (cheaper)
amzn.to/2xHHLFQ
Soldering iron #1 (small stuff):
amzn.to/2wxAgRv
Soldering iron #2 (small stuff):
amzn.to/2vCEwlt
Soldering iron #3 (for high thermo):
amzn.to/2vCtCfF
Flux:
amzn.to/2wyq1w8
Solder:
amzn.to/2vVSSJ3
Solder Wick:
amzn.to/2vVUxyh
Multimeter:

I got this tv from a friend who was tossing it out. Thank you for the video, and keep your fingers crossed for me lol
I picked up exactly the same model at a curb, and it displays exactly the same symptoms as yours. I used a flashlight trick to confirm that LCD screen actually works and all I'm missing is the backlight. I am amazed though, that you immediately started digging into the LEDs and didn't try to blame the LED driver board (which is integrated into a main board in this model). I was hoping I'm not gonna have to mess with the LED strips, but your video is very convincing...
I now have two videos of this model. Both same issues. Check out my channel for the other.
Great video! You absolutely did a thorough job of explaining the crazy amount of work that goes into repairing one of these. I personally don't think they're worth repairing, and, considering how many hours this video has gotten, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Mine went into the dumpster. I repaired it once, and had it repaired three times by a pro in Hays, Kansas. His name was Jerry. Very professional and great at his job, that guy. As the daughter of an electronics engineer, I know a great repair guy when I see one. You've got my seal of approval. I will definitely subscribe. I will not, however, be purchasing another Vizio product for as long as I live. Not worth the effort! I should suggest your viewers spring for a more reliable brand. I bought a Samsung to replace this giant old brick, and am planning on purchasing another for my office.
Again, great video, and thanks for taking the time put it together. Much appreciated. There's obviously a market for such a video!
If the TV is having multiple failures and requiring multiple repairs than I'm going to assume at the time of repair only the single bad LED is being replaced instead of all the strips replaced with new. Generally once ALL the strips have been replaced it's good to for a long time. It's not just Vizio that suffers from bad LED's, they all do. Even the other big names like Samsung, LG and TCL. It would be like having a Ford that got a flat tire, then you traded it in for a Chevy while expecting to never get a flat tire again. A bit of a false sense of security.
@@jeffescortlx Nope. Every single time, ALL the LEDs were replaced. I haven't had this issue with the Samsung at all, although, I did wall mount it instead of having it sitting on a TV stand like the Vizio. It doesn't get jarred that way, so this could be the reason for its reliability with the LEDs. It definitely doesn't have anything to do with your assumption. I don't half ass anything and neither does Jerry, although the warranty company did attempt to talk him into doing the replacements that way. He insisted upon replacing them all. The Vizio was much slower to connect than any others I've tried. I'm wondering if that's specific to the brand. If not, then I suppose I just got a shit TV and the dumpster is the best place for it either way.
@@IAmPamPoovey I would have felt compelled to get to the bottom of it. Did anyone test the strips individually just to see if the new strips were having LED failure or some other issue? Depending on how the TV is put together firm ware can play a role. Just out of curiosity do you run backlighting at maximum settings?
@@jeffescortlx No, I usually run at about 50% of max.
@@jeffescortlx And, yes, the new strips were always tested. They worked fine. A few months later, not so much.
I was given a Vizio E60-C3 and I have the exact problem that you have. Being a Computer Tech and having motherboard soldering skills I think I can do what you did to fix said problem. The only thing is I don't have a desire to do all of what you did with each light. I will just replace the entire strip. I will look online for complete strips. I love your video. I have never seen the inside of a LED TV and I was shocked at the price that they charge for these TV's and when you take one apart, there is really nothing inside. Thanks again.
I have a newer video here:
ua-cam.com/video/rkIwv77MqlY/v-deo.html
Of the same model. Replacing the complete strips is the right way, but more expensive than LED replacement.
Exactly what I thought when I took mine apart. Nothing to them. I guess its all in the complexity of manufacturing that led panel.
I have an m60-C3 that has a few dim areas. Not completely dark. TV is still watchable but just annoying. Most noticeable when the picture turns light colored. Is this the same as an E60-C3? Is there any prying or separating of glued things to take it this apart?
Same TV issue. Used LED tester. Strips light sometimes 1 light comes on after a min using tester, but when I turn tv on only 2 strips I'll stay lit. Woukd the few LEDs that are slow to come on cause the other strips not to light?
Being that this model has a reputation of having bad LED's it's safe to say to just go ahead and replacace them all with new strips.
I replaced my leds, plugged it in to test brightness with everything still apart, and the leds are dim, they brighten up a tiny bit when I touch them. Please help w some advice !
When you first turn it on is it all bright?
Do you have any advice or tips for removing the panel safely? I need to change a few LEDs on my m60-c3. I've taken my 50" LG fully apart about 17 times with no issue however this 60" is larger of course and kind of intimidating. I seen suction cups used online but my local store only had 1 in stock so I only have 1 for now, probably bow the screen with 1 lol. Any other ways to remove panel ? Most likely I'll be alone doing it as well so only 1 set of hands unfortunately. Thank you for your time!! Cheers from Canada
60" is doable by yourself. Just use common sense and be careful.
Thanks for sharing this video , I replaced the led bulb and all the leds were working, when i put the led strip back, As soon i connected the led connector same led bulb blow again. Do u think its something to do with power supply? Can u kindly help me with this. Thank u.
Is there a more video with more detailed instructions on how to replace the individual LEDs? I have this exact same TV with all but one of the LED strips burnt out.
Yes, here: ua-cam.com/video/rkIwv77MqlY/v-deo.html
It says the LEDS for an LG tv. Assuming the specs are the same for a Vizio. I have a similar tv a VIZIO E32-C1 32 I need to do the LEDS as well. Do you know if these will work. And also how have they held up? You've posted a while ago. Great videos btw.
I have a newer video here that might have more information:

Hi Jeff thanks for the video. I have this tv and have some dark areas, I figured it was bad leds but the other day I turned it on and some of the dark areas relite, could an led come back on temporarily or would this be the driver card failing? Thank you for your time.
More than likely one of the failing LED's shorted, allowing the rest of the LED's in the row to light. I'm sure your LED driver board is ok.
@@jeffescortlx thanks for the info, you helped me decide on fixing this tv or buying new, I'm just gonna give it a try. Another thought I had was installing a switch to cut the power off and on to the led strips, that way I could keep them off until the tv boots up and stop the intial boot surge from reaching the strips. Do u think that would work or would the tv sense that there is something not right with the leds.
@@dickderbin6518 depending on where you connect the switch, you might need 12 switches since this model uses independent zones. Also it may have a capacitor after the control/regulating circuit, so it could potentially charge to max range (with no load it's likely to go to max)
Great video thanks. I have 2 darkened corners on my e60-c3 is this an LEDs issue or main board? Anyone?
LED. This TV has a reputation of failing LED's.
@@jeffescortlx thanks
I had the same TV for about a year after the warranty ran out, so four years. I repaired it once myself, and then bought a new TV. The repair worked fine, it just wasn't worth the effort, as, after about six months, the LEDs started going out again. While the warranty was still active, I had to have the TV repaired for the same reason three times. It's a cheap piece of junk. I should have gone with the Samsung in the first place. The Vizio is slow. It takes FOREVER to connect. The Samsung doesn't have this problem and I've not had to use the warranty to have the LEDs replaced with it since I bought it. I'm looking to purchase another Samsung for my office as well. LG is also a decent brand to look into. I've heard good things about Sony's larger screen smart TVs and TCL too, but I'm afraid Vizio lost my business for good with this one. Also, if you didn't get your 13 or so bucks from that little class action lawsuit payout from Vizio, you might have missed the window, but it's worth checking into. $13 is $13, right? In all, you get what you pay for. I should have ponied up the extra $500 for the Samsung in the first place. It would have saved me a lot of frustration and headaches. Just a suggestion, and, like I said, I've heard good things about LG and Sony as well. Personally, I'd go with darn near anything but a Vizio at this point. Their sound, even without the bar and boomers is decent. I'll give them that, but those LEDs popping out every five seconds absolutely turned me off of them. Have fun repairing yours if you so choose. And have fun doing it again.
And again.
And again.
😉
@@IAmPamPoovey every LG I ever owned failed under a month passed warranty its all to common now a days for all electronics to be made to fail its just a matter of when and if the bug was planted during production or passed along to you during a "much needed" software update.(sarcasm) and sadly this is something to expect from all top brands as sad as it is in today's world of nothing but greed. Good luck with the Samsung I've heard good things fingers crossed ...and for everybody else , always get the extended warranty if possible. Cheers
Thanks for the video.... There is a lot of people in my boat i guess. NICE bench btw i like your setup
I have a feeling all TV's of this model are going to experience led failure eventually. Thanks for the compliments!
great work on the video.... I just got a fee one, and it looks like 3/4 of the strips are out... the bottom row seems to be working. With the 2 tvs you repaired, have any of the new LED's you install burn out?? I was going to try doing the DIY repair... figured... I will buy the hot air soldering gun and the same LEDs you used, if they are working well for you. let me know :-) also, do you have a recommendation of what kind of Flux to use, and or where to buy. thanks
I haven't had any trouble with the new replacement LED's. Here is a newer video: ua-cam.com/video/rkIwv77MqlY/v-deo.html
@@jeffescortlx Yeah, I watched that too :-) good info there too ... watching your videos makes me want to try the repair myself... vs buying the full strips. Found a hot air gun on ebay, and the leds you used ( noticed they are rated up to 700ma, so that should be good for the 600ma spike..... is this a good flux? did you do anything to suppress the 600MA spike at start up?? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DCD9M3P/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A2HUVTR6WXW2HG&psc=1
BOOOM!!!! I not have a working 60" tv... I used my garage heat gun and de-soldered the the LEDs.... i burned the strips a little, but, still works. not bad for $10 in LEDs and no new tools purchased
@@cueballsi nice!
@@jeffescortlx and ... of course.... one of the strips that I did not touch, just went out.... FML!!!.... I'll wait till the other one falls out and i'll open it back up.
Great video thanks for the info
Last Vizio I will ever buy, I had the same exact TV after 1 year several strips started failing. I worked some magic and was able to convince Costco to take it back and then bought a Samsung... Problem solved!
Certain models of Samsung also suffer from bad LED's. It's not just a vizio problem.
Is that water in the bottle @ 4:00?
Just some rubbing alcohol
nice
Thanks
How to remove panel?
If you see a screw, remove it. If you see a clip, unclip it. Disconnect the ribbon wires and carefully lift glass.
