In this video we will show how to replace the LED strips in a Vizio TV, model number E60-C3.
It is recommended to take pictures during the repair process to use as a reference point.
Be sure your TV is unplugged.
Begin by unplugging the TV and removing the screws and back cover off the TV.
Disconnect the ribbon cables on the t-con board and address buffer boards.
Find the small clips and release them form the chassis.
They will be completely removed from the TV in a later step.
Disconnect the necessary cables on the main board and power supply board and remove them to gain access to be able to release the small clips that are under them.
Re-attach the boards when done.
Remove the IR sensor to access a hidden screw.
Remove all of the bezel screws around the TV.
Tape the speakers to the chassis and then flip the TV over.
Disconnect and remove the bezel from the chassis.
Remove the screws and panel brackets around the TV.
Remove the larger panel frame on the bottom of the TV.
Very carefully and gently, release the address buffer boards from the chassis.
Flip up the address buffer boards and tape them to the panel.
Check the IC ribbon cables on the panel.
Be sure that they are not stuck or connected to anything on the chassis that will damage them.
Lift the panel with suction cups and remove the panel from the TV.
Remove the screws and the filter frame around the TV.
In order to remove the filter frame, you may need to remove some panel padding, that rests on the filter frame. Be careful as this padding will need to be reinstalled later.
Tape the layers of diffusion in the corners to hold them together and then remove them from the chassis.
Remove the plastic clips that we released earlier from the other side of the chassis and plastic rivets in the chassis that hold the reflector sheet down.
Slowly remove the reflector sheet. Do this carefully as the reflector sheet is stuck to the chassis.
Remove the tape that is holding the strips to the chassis.
Disconnect the strips from the power cable and remove them from the TV.
Align the replacement strips on the chassis and connect them to the power cable.
The replacement strips should come with adhesive on them, if not you can use our double sided tape to hold them in place.
Reinstall the reflector sheet.
Reinstall the plastic rivets and clips.
Reinstall the layers of diffusion.
Reinstall the filter frame around the TV.
Reinstall any panel padding that was removed.
Reinstall the TV panel.
Release the address buffers and secure them back into position.
Reinstall the panel frame and screws.
Reinstall the bezel and the screws.
Reinstall the IR sensor.
Reconnect the ribbon cables.
Reinstall the back cover and screws.

I just successfully replaced all 12 of the LED strips in my E60-C3 last weekend after progressively watching them go out over a 2 year period. A total of 10 strips stopped working by the time I got around to replacing them. This video was a huge help, along with the detailed comments provided by artgoat and orbitaladmin in this comment thread. I didn't run into any real problems throughout the whole process. I just took my time, took lots of pictures for reference, and kept track of all the screws/brackets that I removed by putting them into small plastic cups as I went (so I wouldn't lose them or forget what order to put them back).
Thanks to artgoat's comment, I was careful not to break any of the plastic connections between the rear panel and the plastic bezel before trying to remove the panel (not totally true...I broke one). Everything else was pretty straightforward...even removing the reflector. Previous comments indicated that the double-sided tape holding the reflector down made it difficult to remove without damaging it, but mine came off pretty easily just like in the video here. I guess I just got lucky. In my experience, the most annoying part about the whole process is removing and replacing all of the plastic rivets that hold down the LED strips and reflector. I mean...it wasn't hard or anything, but I think it took me more time to do that than anything else.
I think it's important to mention that I don't work with electronics for a living or even as a hobby. The only thing similar that I've done to this was installing an aftermarket stereo and speakers in my car. I think if anyone takes the time to do some good research and planning prior to attempting this repair, pretty much anyone can do it as long as you're patient throughout the process.
Just finished this job. It's nice to have the whole screen lit again. Things that could be clearer in the video: took me a bit to puzzle out how to release the ribbon cables (I've seen about 6 different locking mechanisms in my decades of electronics work). Also separating the rear cover from the bezel is non-trivial. Just prying it apart WILL result in broken plastic. On mine, the stand-offs were BEHIND the reflector, so there was no need to go to all the effort to release them before flipping the set. Even if they aren't, the hole in the reflector is large enough to slip over them, so it's questionable whether this is an important step. I took the front diffuser and retainer off in one piece. It's tricky, but certainly do-able, and negates the need for fiddling with more tape pieces. Releasing the rivets is done by carefully prying up the middle part about 3mm, and then the entire thing can come out without damage. When I tried to lift the display off, I discovered that my display panel was secured to the diffuser retainer with two strips of tape. Thanks, Vizio. Why??? Oh, well!
The SINGLE most difficult, aggravating part was getting the reflector off. That tape is aggressive! It took me probably half an hour to tease it off, and it still ended up with tears and wrinkles in the reflector. If there were a replacement reflector available, I might have said "screw it," ripped the reflector off in little pieces and replaced it. I'm mystified by the way you used the double-sided tape. There is NO need to hold the LED bars down with tape, as they are secured with several rivets each. I did use the double-sided tape in the same way that Vizio did, going across the LED strips to secure the reflector and keep it from popping up above the level of the LEDs. That being said, the majority of my new LED strips had a significant corkscrew twist from end-to-end. I was able to straighten them enough that they'd lay flat, but I was worried about breaking traces or some such while twisting them. I am wondering if putting heat-sink grease between the copper and the metal panel behind might help the LEDs live longer, but they seem to have those black strips to PREVENT the copper backing from contacting the case, but only in limited areas (weird).
One place I messed up is in not keeping track of where I took screws out. There are more threaded holes in the bezel and diffuser retainer than there are screws. I had to sacrifice some screws in the diffuser retainer to ensure that all the bezel tabs were screwed down, as they're more important. So it's worth putting a dot with a marker next to the holes that are actually used.
Here's hoping this set of LEDs lasts more than the 3 years that the last ones did!
Thanks for the pointers, even though some didn't make sense to me until after I completed this project. I too wondered about the retaining plugs and how they were removed. I followed the vid but then found out those were two parts. It might be easier/faster to use a nail punch or something to push the middle of the plug first as they are in two parts. Replacing it is a snap when you separate the two parts, squeeze the outer part (I used a wire cutter or needle nose pliers to get it back down to original size. The video does skip over a few other important details. the buffers on the side of the screen are held on by tape and SHOULD be released BEFORE moving the screen.
I solved the issues with screws by keeping 5-6 baggies, one for each stage of removal, marking and numbering them in order - then just go in reverse putting them back in again.
My screen had VERY TIGHT tolerances in size to frame so be careful to make sure the brackets on both size overlap the same amount.
Several people have complained about green stripes. that is no doubt doing a sloppy job re-attaching the video ribbons. (and don't have to remove them, just detach from the screen-side)
If you do this project, go for the whole kit. those Vizio strips will all go out. Just replace them ALL and hope the new ones will last more than 2 years 10 days.
I think this is by far the most comprehensive video on the subject so far. The technician was very detailed and comprehensive. I read some comments and criticisms of the video from viewers. Some of them have a lot of experience in electronic repairs, it seems so they may have more/differing/alternate methods or strategies and became critical of the presenter's steps but ... in any event, this is a comprehensive video and i will be using it to replace the LEDs on my E60-3. THANKS......WELL DONE VIDEO++++++++++++++
I watched the video then read the comments, I suggest everybody attempting this also read Artgoat's comment, it was very helpful. I will add to his as well. As mentioned, the standoffs were behind the reflector, no need to remove motherboards to release them before flipping the set. The video doesn't make clear that the screws around the perimeter correspond to the layers of frames; so the screws on black are to the bezel, screws on silver clamps hold the LCD, screws on white are the defuser frame, and the long silver screws on the bottom also go to the LCD clamp. I did them all at once and dealt with the fallout, I also put them in all at once because I forgot I there was a pattern - still turned out fine. There are no screws to the white frame on top on mine, so do that last and you'll have the right amount of screws when you put it back together. I was also able to remove the defuser sheets together after taping them to the white frame with masking tape, so much easier. The back reflector is indeed dumb, find the strips of Vizio's double-sided tape and pull there and it will come out mostly in one piece, use a putty knife to pop off the plastic rivets. I didn't bother with tape going back together, because there was still the original tape plus a million rivets to hold the reflector and the LEDs down.
Here's the big critical part, install your strips and before putting it back together, TURN IT ON! I did and found I had a bad strip. Unfortunately all of the original strips were burnt so I had to wait for a replacement (Thanks Shop Jimmy for getting a replacement to me FAST!). I was really glad I didn't put the whole thing back together just to have to tear it down again. It was about 2 hours coming apart and an hour putting it back together. Don't forget to set your auto-brightness to LOW.
Thank you so much for showing us how to do things right. Your video is great and we repaired our TV in less than 4 hours. That's a really good time considering this was a first for us. As a suggestion, when removing the two ribbons, first lift up the black bars and the ribbons come right out. That was the only thing that was not real clear. Other than that, all we can say is thank you, thank you. For less tan $ 100.00 we have a new TV again because of your video. God Bless!
Many thanks for the video. I was able to replace the LED’s based on your instructions and it was actually easier than it looked. You saved me about $350 and the picture is terrific.
Thank you for the video and the parts. Just did the repair and, unfortunately it didn’t work out for me. Got all the LED’s working but, after putting the entire TV back together, there are now black lines. I must’ve messed up one of the boards. Oh well. It was worth a shot.
did you ever figure it out I have a similar isse with mine right now
I love how easy your reflective sheet pulled away. Mine tore over and over, even being very careful. This was by far the most frustrating part of the repair for me.
from the bottom remove the reflector sheet by pulling up on the tape on the underside of the reflector sheet removing the tape and reflector as one.
Thanks to this vid, I recently replaced the backlights on my Vizio E60u-D3. It definitely took a while (around 5 hours), but it's really nice to have normal colors again instead of that terrible blue tint!
Thank you guys for same day shipping! I just finished replacing the strips it was a bit of a pain but thanks for the help in this video.
A tedious process but with this video I was able to fix the LED issue with my T.V. thank you so much! 5 stars!
Found 1 60 Vizio thrown out by neighbor fix the Backlighting thanks, found another for 50$ online fixed that one thanks again.
Just finished replacing strips on my m60-c3 with strips from shopjimmy.com. Reassembled and powered on TV and had 3 inch black vertical stripe on left of screen. Otherwise backlight was fixed! Dissembled TV looking for something to explain stripe. Reseated all ribbon cables. Now I only have backlight and just a flash on the screen during power up. No picture. Can you guys advise? I’m pretty bummed out I made this worse. I am at a loss and no TV repair shops in the area. Thanks for any help
Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem
I’m having a similar issue
Thanks Jimmy, Just finished my project. One strip went out a month ago then the second one and then the third one on the other side. I opened it up and checked the part number to your website for the parts and orderd them. Then moved the dead strips to the top and the bottom until i recived the parts. A fourth one went out the day I received the parts. Opened it up and took care of the switching of the strips, everything went perfect. However I turned on the tv and one strip was out............. Ok, opened it up again to the point were I could lift the defuser screen and look in to see that the tech (me) did not plug that strip in.................. D-A$$$ me.... Plug it in and put it together again for the third time and it's perfect. All I can say is pay attention because the simple things will bite you in the A.
So plan on doing this repair tomorrow and I watched this video and read most of the comments. Seems tedious but doable and I’m very good working with my hands and tools so I don’t see this not being hard. Seems like everyone had a problem with that reflector sheet. I’m going to use a heat gun to warm up the tape on the other side to help loosen it so I don’t get any rips or tears. Wish me luck I’ll report back as well how it went
Buddy, I wish you had reported back...
I tried the heat gun myself today, I melted the plastic reflector backing while i was peeling and ended up spending an extra hour trying to coax the damn thing to be flat again with a clothes iron.
To those reading in the future: for goodness sake, just pull slow and peel the glue strip like they show in the video with the 5-in-1 tool. ( i used a paint-knife for this, personally, and it worked pretty well for a spudger, too...)
So is this good for a set that’s getting dirty screen effect after the years? Also what is the best way to store the panel and sheets as to not get any debris that could be noticeable
If there's a dark spot that will randomly light back up properly could it still be the LED? I thought once it dies it's dead for good but my tv has a shadow spot that will fix itself super randomly, any advice? Thanks
Anyone have a list of tools needed? There are a few pry-tools and what not I didn't get a very good look at. I have the LEDs ready to go
so I just had to replace a bunch of leds on my tv. Upon putting it back together the screen appears as if it is cracked. Is that an effect that could come from the little ic cables that are connected to the tv ? I dont know how in the world the tv would have cracked as I made sure to be extremely careful when doing this repair.
I had replaced the LED’s and got the TV to turn on, got picture and all was good. Now I can’t get the picture to show. The TV comes on, can here ROKU start, I can also get Hulu to start but no picture. I have took the back off, reinstalled ribbon cables, checked for loose connections but after putting it back together, all was fine until I tried to turn TV back on this morning. Can see the LED’s are on, get light blue screen and can here ROKU and HULU turn on. Still no picture. Before I take the back off again, is there something I should look for that would cause the picture to not come on?
OK so I replaced the LEDs everything went smooth and after I put it back together and turned it on the vizeo logo came on nice and white instead of blue but that was all it did it then just went on and off every few seconds had to unplug it to make it stop any ideas its the same model in the video thanks
Is this the same procedure for an M60-C3?
Man you guys are awesome!! My friend and I just tackled this with no problems!! Even got the leds from you!! You made it so easy! Only problem we ran into was the white sheet/paper was ripping because it was so stuck to the led strips but other then that brand new tv!!
7:14 that one? The reflector sheet? I was worried if I did this and I ripped it. Did it cause any display problems for you or no?
Would you happen to know if this would be comparable to replacing the backlights in a D60-F3?
So basically what I got out of this video is that I just need to buy a new TV. Thank you.
Shop Jimmy tells me I need LED panel number when ordering Visio LED strips, where did you find the LED panel number?
Hi ShopJimmy, I replaced your led strips on my Vizio M60-C3 and now the brightness is back but the picture has horizontal flickering. Could this be a bad connection with a ribbon wire? Thanks
to keep from tearing the reflector sheet. The factory installed double sided tape across the backlights to hold them in place, shop jimmy put double sided tape on the bottom of each backlight strip. so the reflector will stick to the double sided tape. what I would do is lift up the bottom of the reflector sheet and remove the sheet by pulling up on the apes from bottom to top...slowly. Then to make sure you get the shop jimmy NEW backlicght strips aligned with the holes in the reflector sheet I would cut and remove any tape off the backlights that cover a hole. If you have not realized it yet there are 2 registration pins for each back light strip and the "push pins" go through a hole in the strip and back chasis. if you do not get this right the led lens will be partially covered by the reflector sheet.
IS THE REPAIR THE SAME FOR THE M60 C3 TV??
So I have same tv . Visio logo comes up and goes off. Has backlight but no picture. Will not turn off with the remote
Hello my same model TV powers on the Vizio logo displays for a second and then the display and led light dissapte out slowly. I replaced the main board thinking it was a bad cap. Any other suggestions? Main board? Bad display led?
Help my cleaning lady moved the diffusion screens what order do they go?
Hey, ordered these light strips - installed in the TV and the darkness is gone. BUT, I now have about a half inch green strip going all the way from top to bottom right in the center of the screen? Any idea where I went wrong??
Hi Van, I’ve got a similar problem as you on my Vizio. I just replaced the led strips and now the screen is flickering intermittently. Did you figure out a solution to your problem?
Are the vizio e60 c3 strips comoatible with the e60u d3? l'm not an expert, l dont know if they are the same models.haha
Did you ever find out?
If I have a damaged reflector sheet for this model where can I get a replacement? I've been searching but can't seem to find an answer.
What a pain in the butt. Very doable thanks to your excellent video but sheesh. I've got one of these TV's, it's two years old now and has 3 bad LED strips already. The first one went out just after the 1 year warranty expired too. Go figure. But, rather that spending $1000 +/- on a new TV I suppose I'll be doing this. Thanks for the help, I'll be purchasing one of your kits when the time comes.
MakeNoMistake_MyNameIsJeff My name is John Osting I also have one that’s two years old and they said his video I found out that I have strips going out on the left-hand side of my television it is dimmer but I can see the whole picture, I’m disabled it’s hanging on the wall that I had to get hope to have an install I’m wondering how I can send this out to Jeff and maybe have you do this work for me?? You can call me at 708-625-7196 John Osting
Is this the same method as with the e60ud3? And also ill need different led strips id assume
After completing this repair, the screen now has a green stripe about 5" wide that goes from the top to the bottom. It wasn't like that before. But hey, all the led strips come on. Anybody got any idea what I've done wrong?
Same thing for me! Did you figure this out? Mine are green, yellow, orange.
@@diedrichg yep, the address buffer board connection on the bottom (center left)was touching the frame and grounding out. I pulled some screws out and let the bezel kind of hang free. I know it's not really fixed, but I think a piece of tape between the address buffer board and the metal frame will take care of it. Let me know if yours goes well, I'm working a bunch of hours and not gonna take it back apart while it's working
photos.app.goo.gl/CaNxchoRnNpNdJP7A
I've tried all the cables. Feels like failure, I was not expecting this new issue to crop up.
Ordered the LEDs for my e60_e3,everything went great but I screwed up and didn't pay attention nor tape off the 3_4 diffuser panels under the screen...so. my question is, what order do the go in? Top is the panel with the boards taken off by suction cup, what comes next? I have a hard thick plastic piece, a silvery piece, a see through piece that looks like a magnifier?) And a white piece? Under those 3_4 panels is the leds and the white diffuser, I know that's right...so order please...lol...thanks in advance.
Was the disassembly the same as the video? The video is for an e60-C3. Mine is also an e60-E3.
I got a yellow/black spot on my Vizio tv was a year ago to small now its going bigger / what should I change t con or power supply or main board
My TV started with 1 dim bar about 2 months ago and has grown to 6 dim bars since then. Scattered all over the screen. Do these strips tend to fail around the same time like this or is this an indication of another problem I should look into?
IMO, yes Vizio MUST know that this is a problem with the white LEDs because I had a problem with the original, they gave me a replacement, and two years 10 days later THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! They will ALL go bad so best to buy the entire replacement kit. Also faster than trouble shooting circuits that are going to blow. BUT the picture looks great when you are done.
I just got done replacing all the led strips. Now all I have is a white screen, which wasn't there before the strip replacement. Am I looking at a bad video card now??
My question is if some led strips do work would the tv show some display? Or just dark screen with a hint of light on but no display I replace the t-con board main logic board and power board still no display
I have 5 or 6 strips that appear to have failed, leaving me with areas that are darker than the rest of the picture. Each area is roughly 12" long by 3" tall and is most noticeable in scenes with lots of solid light colors. On an all white screen, it's really obvious. I'd think that even if you only have one that works, you'd still be able to see something.
I replaced 4 strips on mine. It now works great thanks to this video. But getting to them is a monsterous pain in the ass. I will never do it again
I followed the instructions in the video but fir some reason when I was done the screen is just really bright, Any ideas on where I went wrong?
Excuse me can you help me please I have a 65 in vizio where I buy the led lights
I'm following this video to replace the led strips on a d60-f3 that has a purple/blue tint.
When taking the back panel off, do not just go for it! Mine had a little black and yellow cable that stays attached to the back panel that I could've broken if I just yanked the back panel off.
On the d60-f3 the screen has soft black/gray tape holding it down as well as a piece in each corner bear the legs. This have to be pulled down off the screen before trying to lift the panel out.
Pictures don't really help me remember where the 600 screws all go. So, I used styrofoam plates. I drew a crude "back panel" on the plate and numbered the plate. I then stuck the screws in on the diagram where they went on the actual panel.
Then, the screws aren't rolling around and I'll know exactly which size screw goes where.
Where I've messed up I think, is the plastic rivets... I popped them all out from the back like the video showed and once I got to the reflector part, the rivets were all down at the bottom of the tv and I have no clue which hole they came from.
I'm only at 7:15 of the video/process and like others have said... The reflector is horrible!! This video is NOT accurate when it comes to that thing!! Mine is brittle and wants to just crumble at the taped points when I lift it. Now I have little pieces of the reflector still stuck to the metal back (Chassis?)
When I put the reflector back on I'm hoping I can just line it up with the still stuck parts like a puzzle 🤦🏻♀️
.... That's all I have so far. We shall see how well it goes with the last half of the video 😬😬
I have no clue what I managed to do.. the LEDs are working great... Only now I'm stuck with a blank screen 😭
How do you get the tape that holds buffer tape to buffer boards
I found this very good but while installing filter frame the screws on the bottom had some spurs. when I installed screen and replaced address buffers the back of the boards were damaged by the screw heads and shorted out. There should be some insulation over those 4 screws to protect the address boards. Make sure you check these screws are not going to touch the address boards.
my TV was trash after this. lesson learned after replacing 14 LEDS and getting it working the screws behind address boards killed everything.
did this make your tv appear cracked or something similar I jusr repaired mine and now it looks cracked and is super messed up cuz I know I didnt crack the screen at all
@@pillaryclinton6187 yes you may have damaged the address boards or they could be shorting out against the screws or damaged the circuits behind the boards. Also check the ribbon cables that come from the Tcon board.
One of the tabs to the buffer board ripped off any help? Felt like it was held to the screen by adhesives.
Hi, great video
Could you plase tell where can I buy replacenent led screen for lg tv/ thanks
@shopjimmy.com Ok got one for you .. I have a LH55EDDPLGC/ZA and checked boards all over seems to be ok however when i plug it in the backlight constantly flashes when i unplug the led plug coming from the power supply to the tv backlight turns off obviously and boards have good voltage .. i’m thinking these backlights are suspect . I-am i on the right track here ? Thanks for the help !
Thank you soooooo much for this vid and your time
Results to come lol once I get those strips
I’m guessing this isn’t in correlation to blackscreen if your tv flashes the vizio logo and then shuts off back again, the vizio logo shows bright and clear
I performed the led replacement and now my screen is yellow. I hope someone can point me in the right direction for this thanks 😊
@Shopjimmy.com what all tools are actually needed to do this repair
None of my rivets are going back in. I’ve been struggling with them toooo long.
Easiest for me was to separate the rivet into its two parts, pulling the stem out of the body of the rivet. I compressed the feet of the rivet a little with a pair of needlenose pliers, then used a small screwdriver (like a flathead 00) to guide the feet in. Once the body of the rivet goes in, push the stem all the way in. Hope that helps
Yea I finally figured that out, but now I’ve completely rebuilt it with all three boards and 12 led strips but still have messed up picture. So I’m betting my wiring might be bad now. Idk. I literally just now finished working on it and hooked it up and it’s better than it was but it’s still discolored on the same side.
how much 2 get the service done
Can anyone out there tell me if my Samsung 72 inch television has the jumper where it would quit flickering if I clip it if it doesn't let me need where to go from there
Can anyone out there tell me why someone would come to a video about replacing leds on a Vizio TV and ask a question about a jumper on a Samsung TV? I'm genuinely curious. Maybe I've been doing it wrong by searching for the brand and model of the TV I'm working on.
gracias!
How do you release the clips
Another VITAL IMPORTANT thing that's not mentioned is how careful you must be when moving the black LCD screen on and off the tv. I took it off with help but then I tried putting it back on by myself and broke the god damn screen.
sir LCD ki glass dameg hogai he kya glass ko chenj Marne ko 40 ec ko 25000 hajar bol raga he so ple sir aap meri kuch madat kro
Just replaced the LED strips I bought from shopjimmy. Followed the instructions step by step, and now the picture is even worse. Super bright, a line down the middle of the screen, and the projection looks like a negative from a camera. not good...
Tim O'Malley did you figure out what was wrong with yours? I have pretty much the same problem after replacing the led strips on mine....
it was partially due to the ribbon cable connection. i made an improvement in the picture when i pulled them out and carefully reinstalled them, but the picture is still pretty messed up. my friend said the t con board could be shot also.
Tim O'Malley which is what those two ribbon cables connect to I'm assuming. I had a color picture before I replaced the led strips, so not sure what might've happened to the video (t-con) board in the process. Ah well. Thanks for the reply.
@@timomalley3643 Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I also have the same problem. I replaced the T-Con board and that only fixed the negative image. I still have lines.
@@Mike-tg6bj Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I also have the same problem. I replaced the T-Con board and that only fixed the negative image. I still have lines.
flip the black tab to release the ribbon would have been helpful
is this compatible with the E60 E3
You ever find out?
@@brileyjason Funny seeing this a year later…i’m pretty sure the lights were compatible, but while i was fixing my TV, a tiny screw must’ve rolled underneath and cracked the screen without me realizing until i flipped it back over
Was the disassembly the same as the video?
@@brileyjason not 100% exactly the same but it was similar enough to follow along and get the job the done
I have a visio e60 with this issue but I don't have the desire to fix it. I am in the suburbs of Chicago if anyone is interested in buying it from me. Serious offers only, min bid of 150 USD.
If anybody buys LEDs from shop Jimmy before you install them glue the lenses down on the LED strips about 95% of the little clear lenses that covers the LED fell off on mine and they only offer a 6-month warranty every 6 months if you don't glue them you'll be replacing them!!!
What kind of glue do I need?
I used clear gorilla super glue just a tiny drop on the three corners goes a long way to much and it will mess up the light going through the lens. Be extra careful of the LCD screen to much pressure in one spot will crack the screen and good luck trying to find new one I am by no means a expert on repair so "fix at you own risk" so with that said good luck and say your prayers..🙏
When he says to use suction cups to lift the screen, buy some f****** suction cups. I didn't, and apparently destroyed my screen.
I have the 60" M series with the same problem. 3 zones out and the lower left quadrant measuring about 10" X 10" flickers most of the time. I don't believe it is cost effective on a 2 year old set to replace any or all of the zones just to have them go out again. Time to trash this set and move on. A lesson in you get what you pay for. The picture is fantastic when new but it seems like 2 years is the magic mark for zone failures to set in.
This looks like miserable work. Might be time to buy a new TV
Gotta say, you're all better off throwing the tv into the trash rather than attempt the repair. It will take many, many hours, and your chances of success are slim. I find the comments here indicating everything worked fine and it didn't take long to be very suspicious. This video proves to be very hard to follow once you've started the project, and portions are ambiguous leading you to guess, try, and fail.
The price of the lights coupled by your own personal time makes this a total rip off. Invest your money into a new NON VIZIO television. You're welcome.
So ticked.
I made the mistake of buying the M3 65 inch from Sam's and up until about the 2 year mark it was perfect. Then 3 zones went out completely and one just strobes pretty much all the time. Vizio should come with one of those government warning labels to warn you that it could be hazardous to your mental health. I am sure if I only replaced the faulty zones then others would soon follow. I agree with you that it is more cost effective to dump it and spend the money to replace it with a Sony, Samsung, or LG.
Took me 2 hours to do, Had to replace 2 strips. My television is the Vizio 50 inch D50-D1. Strips don't cost much and much cheaper than buying a new Television
It's wasteful to throw out a TV that can be fixed, but it's your choice to make. At least take it to a recycling shop so people like me can buy them and repair them. I keep them out of the land fill and sell them at a bargain. If your worried about cost, LED's can be purchased in bulk, 100pcs for $10 shipped.
Sounds like someone didn’t have the skills.
Your chances of success are not slim. Unless you damage something in the process your chances of a successful repair is 100%.
The easy part - You need very little understanding of TV electronics to successfully complete this project . The lights themselves simply plug into a connector.
The gigantic pain in the ass part --- Is this a TV you are currently using ? Well you need to know for certain how many strips you have to replace before you order them. I thought I had 2 strips out and ordered them before starting the project. After getting the TV appart I discovered 4 strips were out so the TV had to sit there in a bazillion pieces for a few days until I had all the strips. And while the strips are fairly inexpensive ($15-$19 each). You need to factor in that cost with the amount of time it is going to take you to fix it.
And for those claiming this is a 2 hour job. LOL. If you don't have help and you've never taken apart a modern TV , I would say it's more like 4 hours . And that's if you run into no problems.
This looks...not worth it. TV is not good enough to warrant this repair. I'm going to steer away and just wait until I buy a new TV.
My question is if some led strips do work would the tv show some display? Or just dark screen with a hint of light on but no display I replace the t-con board main logic board and power board still no display
Yes, barring any other problems with the set, the TV will have a picture in the areas where the LED's are still good.
