I'm absolutely amazed, i baked the board for 10 minutes at 400 degrees and it actually worked. I thought it was going to melt or destroy it but it didn't. Amazing
Broooooo I did the same thing but only for 5 minutes now my tv is working again! 😂 I just put the whole board in the oven no foil or nothing. Just set the board on the oven rack at 400 for 5 minutes and my tv is back 😂😂😂
I have an M65-C1 that has sound but no picture and no backlight. is it likely the same problem as with this TV? if it is the main board, are replacement boards available? is there a way to reflow the chip without a reflow station?
My vizio logo shows up when I turn it on, but then it goes to a black it’s not faded just straight black screen I already replace the power supply board do you think it could be the main board?
Watching your vi have a Vizio model E601i- A3E and its giving no power no picture. Should I try to order a motherboard replacement to see if it will work again?
That is tough to say for certain. Vizio TVs have a lot of mainboard issues however if there's no power/standby light then it could also be a faulty power supply unit.
My Vizio M65-C1 has a similar problem. For a few months now 1/2 of the screen would glitch out and freeze the tv. It would eventually start working again. The other day it did the same thing, but this time the screen died. It still has audio though. It also does the power light fade things. I think it is also power cycling. Any idea what this might be?
Attempted to fill out your form but I got a permission issue. Please let me know how I can reach out regarding a quote for re-ball or reflow of the board - I have a slightly different model but the board looks almost identical (P502ui-B1E)
So we have an M60-D1 and it turns on but will not display anything but the menus. I can select which input and change settings. It however only displays colored lines for HDMI inputs and flashing gray screens on the smart cast. I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's the main board or Tcon.
Hi, i have a Vizio M49-C1 and the power light comes on and then fades out. No video or audio. As in your video I watch it may need a repair to the main board. Can you repair the board or would I be better to replace it? Thanks for any help. Ron
Repair or replace is suggested. The repair has a faster turnaround than waiting for a part to become available to buy online. Since the mainboard has a high failure rate the mainboards sell out very quickly on almost all ecommerce sites.
I have a M50-C1 motherboard that needs your reflow service. I would like you to repair it. What's the cost and how do I get the board to you? Do you have a website?
I have a question I got a another Vizio Would there be work of If I took that board Add it to go and put it in the other TV that's messed up what it works
If you have a Vizio tv with no image upon turn on, but you lightly press on the screen, you see backlights, or pull up on the edge trim, & see backlights, could it be one of the main boards? I have not tried using a flashlight to see if a "Ghost image" appears. Got a hold of a Vizio 50" "V" series (not sure of the pixel ratings) thank you 🤓
Same here; I lightly touched the screen and burst of lights; only difference is, upon turning mine on, I get the huge logo, nothing else and then it turns off, then on again, etc.
@@maryawkward168 Ms Mary, I didn't do any real troubleshooting on that TV. I actually got rid of it! It was a dumpster find to begin with! It could be the power supply board, one of the T-conn boards (a board for synchronizing both sides of the screen), or the LCD screen itself. If it's the screen, you might as well get a new TV. A new replacement screen isn't cheap! It's the most expensive part! As a kind of hobby I look for electronics in dumpsters and curbside stuff - PCs laptops Chromebooks gaming systems tablets... Found 4 Dell Precision towers with Xeon CPUs, & a kind of matching Dell Precision laptop on Friday! Thanks with a hug 🫂
Pretty sure this may be issue with my sons 43" Vizio. Only difference is with his if I unplug it and hard drain the caps when i turn it back on the screen will work for a few seconds and look perfect. But once a few seconds go by and it heats up the screen goes dark. Its not completely black but you can barely see anything at all. Would this be the same issue? If so what do you charge for this repair? I may be interested in sending the board in for repair.
My PX75G1 powers on but only the power button works. It works on the remote, TV, and the Vizio App. Problem is no other buttons work. I am unable to do a factory reset because the other physical buttons do not work and it won’t work initiating from the app. I am however able to adjust picture settings from the app. Quick google and this seems to be a common problem but I can’t find and guidance on what needs to be repaired. I was thinking possibly new main board or possibility reflow like you do in the video. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance
I have Vizio 40 inch smart tv model D40f-G9. powers on LED fades but doesnt turn off and no picture. Can I fix this myself without special tools?? How much do u charge if I can't do it myself??
I reflowed the chip but with flashlight, I can see the screen turns green red blue every time I turn it on while there is still no backlight. Is it toast? Vizio model D40f-F1
My Aiwa tv turns on but it’s brightness is so low, the remote buttons don’t work it just makes the LED power button turn red and back to green please help I can’t game anymore😢
I have an LG 55UM6910PUC it just shows blue/green screen. When it first happened there was audio and you could switch channels but no picture. Now there is no audio so I can't tell if the channels are changing with the Remote.
To clarify if your TV stuck in the Test Color Pattern screen? As in, it only shows Blue, Green etc.? Or is have the screen blue and the other half is green? If the TV is stuck in the pattern screen then a new mainboard would fix the issue. If the TV shows random colors (not in a pattern) then it's more than likely a panel issue.
M65-C1. Tv comes on but has colored lines on the screen in a square box. Various color screens and no sound. The tv continuously resets itself and after many attempts it will start working! It used to take a couple minutes but now it’s taking 20 minutes or so. Sometimes I get sound while it’s going through this issue. Any idea what the issue could be? Tia!

I have a Samsung UN50TU8200F that keeps trying to start then back off and repeats. Every once in a long while it will come on but then goes right back to off and on. Any ideas?
I've seen that issue a lot with those models. It's a problem with the crystal display. The actual panel goes out on those models and the only way to fix is to replace the entire screen. (which typically isn'y cost effective)
Depends on model of the TV. If you send the TV model number and serial I can send you the replacement mainboard link. However, it will be out of stock.
where would i find a replacement backlight for my moms Vizio model D32xD1. im sure its the backlight cause i can shine a flashlight through the otherwise black screen and see the vizio menu when i press input button. my other question is how much will this cost me and how difficult is it to replace?? any help or tips will be a blessing and very appreciated. god bless you
I git a m65 c1 ,no sound no displsy no backlight ,power light fades,but i did notice theres suppose to b a light on mainboard and mines not on ,but the optical redlights on
My step daughter’s tv turns on like normal, clear picture and brightness. We go open Netflix and click to play the movie. There’s sounds but no picture. What do you think the problem is?
Yes, I agree. It could be a bad replacement. There's also a possibility that the LCD flex cables aren't installed properly. I'd try removing the cables and installing them again.
Question...... Why are you not using the Flux before reflowing /heating up the CPU? I was thinking :.... The Flux takes away some oxidation and it flows by itself nicely under the Cpu while heating /reflowing. Due the heating ... The Flux will find its way under the CPU. Whats the use of spraying Flux when my CPU does not get very hot anymore,... cause I also did mount a bigger heatsink with Fan on top, to keep the temperature as low as possible when switching my TV on..... 😉 👍 I did a reflow without using Flux and my TV is working well at the moment. Should I still spray some Flux before I close the back cover??? (is Flux also protecting the Cpu and preventing against oxidation, nomather if the TV is on or of??)) ✌️

@@nibz7255 You'll need to make sure you're cleaning underneath the BGA chips after done reflowing. What is probably happening is that the BGA chips are getting 70-80 Celsius during use and are cracking the solder balls underneath them. Make sure you use something like FluxOff spray. Hope that helps!
TOSS IT!! Vizio are CRAP!! My 70 inch had started dying right around the time of the Game of Thrones night battle, so it was god awful. It lasted, but with a splotchy lit screen, til this past Black Friday, when it went completely dark(Timing, right?). Well, when the freight guys showed up with my new Samsung QLED(It was a tossup between Samsung or another Sony Bravia, which I have in bedroom and is still amazing), I asked em if they wanted the old Vizio, which can be somewhat fixed(According to these videos) and the guys immediately asked me if it was a Vizio. I told him that it was and he laughed. He said he spent almost a year exchanging peoples' Vizios and they were legit garbage. It's not worth the time, energy and $$ to repair them, that's for sure. I cannot believe there hasn't been a recall or a class action lawsuit against them yet, tbh.
Yes, my name is Larry Spencer, and I work criminal investigations into fraud and misuse for the USPS Postal Inspection Team, and we'd like to know a little bit more about your makeshift heat barrier, or cardboard tent that seems to be made entirely out of priority mail flat rate shipping boxes. Misuse of just one of those boxes carries up to a 5 year sentence. It looks like you've got several dozen of them under siege. This video evidence, coupled with your flagrant misuse of the word "action" (.I.E...it's time for some heat gun action), has really caught our attention. Just Kidding, I'm not Larry an investigator, but I did get you pretty good!!!!
Yes, I agree. I also think they did a poor job washing the boards after they set the BGAs. So there's remnants of flux that cause these issues to develop over time.
THANKS! I used a heatgun on the actual heat sink with foil protecting the rest of the board and now the TV is back to working again.
Year and a half old 75” Vizio same issue. Just outside of the warranty of course. Called Vizio, told me it’s cheaper to just buy a new one. Thanks!

What does the reflow station do to the chip?
The reflow process essentially reconnects all the solder joints underneath the BGA. This a a very common practice for BGA failure.

How much to reflow my main board if I send it to you? Same tv..
We offer the repair for $100
I have a m65-c1 and the main board does not have a light on when powered on what does this mean?
Sounds like a bad mainboard.
About how much would such a repair cost?
Average cost for this repair is about $99
The problem was just cold solder?
Problem is from heating and cooling and over time there are mico-cracks in the solder. The heatsinks were poorly engineered.
How does a normal person reflow the chip? Is there a way to do this repair at home?
Heat gun baby...
What do you charge to reflow a board?
Estimated price is $99.99 but could change depending on issues.
What is your ebay store name? I found two in Tucson, reworksrus and Nicks Tv, I assume Nicks is you, so who is the other? Competition?

You need flux to help melt solder joints evenly (to prevent repeat failure). The spray I use is actually flux remover.

Yes, my name is Larry Spencer, and I work criminal investigations into fraud and misuse for the USPS Postal Inspection Team, and we'd like to know a little bit more about your makeshift heat barrier, or cardboard tent that seems to be made entirely out of priority mail flat rate shipping boxes. Misuse of just one of those boxes carries up to a 5 year sentence. It looks like you've got several dozen of them under siege. This video evidence, coupled with your flagrant misuse of the word "action" (.I.E...it's time for some heat gun action), has really caught our attention. Just Kidding, I'm not Larry an investigator, but I did get you pretty good!!!!
These companies still continue to have these chips soldered to the board directly. They always fail . Xbox ,ps4 u name it they all need resolder
Yes, I agree. I also think they did a poor job washing the boards after they set the BGAs. So there's remnants of flux that cause these issues to develop over time.
Main thing is just clean them
Do you repair TVs for people?
Yes, we do!
If I ship my TV to you, do you think you can do that for me and I’ll pay you?
Yes, we have a shop located in Casselberry, FL. We offer these repair services.
Piss on vizio 18 month old tv and the back lights go out. Vizio says oh well. Their product is just as crappy as they are. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
The speakers on my M43-C1 keep popping intermittently. Should I replace the speakers? Or the main board?
