Something is loose in my Vizio E5001-B1 TV, past couple days when I would walk by my TV the picture would flicker, today I turned it on, no picture, but I have sound. I tried the flashlight check, I don’t see anything inside, black screen. Any help appreciated.
It sounds like there is some sort of issue. When you hit the input button on your remote do you see any menu? If you don’t, take apart the TV and see if there is anything that looks wrong. It looks like it might be capacitors so if you see any of these cylinders where the tops are bloated or have some weird substance on the top, are bad caps and need to be replaced. If you see these they need to be replaced. If you don’t have any experience with soldering, take it to some repair shop near you to have them replace them. If you don’t see them, report back to me here and we can figure out other options. If this helps please hit the helpful button. If this answered your question, please hit the accept answer button!
Vizio told me to turn the TV off, unplug it, hold in the power button for 30 sec, plug it back in, turn it on… Wahla… It worked…
hey @ucadam did you found aNY FIX FOR TV.. MINE HAS SAME PROBLEM AS URS.. all boards looks fine . but still no picture only sound
Very easy fix, replaced the Mother Board, less than $100 took about 30 min start to finish.
The flashlight trick is difficult-dark room, use the silhouette of the light. Not directly. Has to be from the top of tv screen angled down. Move it around slowly with adjusting the light it’s self. I used my phone’s flashlight and had to cup the lighting my hand. Limiting the directability of the light. Took me a few minutes to finally see it. You can look through the back vents in a dark room setting with hand goggle’s
How do you fix back light on tv vizio
I have a vizio tv no picture just sound put flashlight towards screen seem some shadow ness still no picture how do I fix this
This happened to me. Press the on/off button and hold it for a bit. I did this a few times whenever the tv would lose picture and ow it seems to be working like new again.
The motherboard is probably shot
