vizio e701i-a3 lcd panel made in china

Hey all. Brand new to the forum. I just acquired one of these TV it has been troubleshooting it no picture condition. I"m really surprised that I went to Target yesterday and found the same exact TV still on sale along with a 60 inch counterpart. I found sharp panels used in very very many large screen TVs. Anyway one of the three pin transistors most notably the one labeled COXA has apparently a short between the center pin to the top right. This transistor operates what appears to be is a 3.3 volt voltage is for the gamma IC processor. I have two of these boards both with the same problem the new one that I ordered I haven"t even connected to the panel yet and it was failed from the box. It appears that these boards for previous buyouts from previous failures it has a Chinese label on the back of the board but it came from ebay in the US. I myself am trying to still figure out what"s going on I contacted the vendor and they"re setting yet another board. I can"t seem to locate even in my parts stash thid 3 pin MOSFET with this label. Cox is the equation for the silicon inside the MOSFET it has something to do with the wavelength. This is a really odd transistor. I think its funny how shopJimmy sells this transistor and the EEPROM 8-pin IC. Has anyone successfully repaired this board yet are replacing the components?

Vizio is offering a warranty part replacement on all the units with the bad chip assembly. Vizio will replace a recalled TV that has already lost its picture with a new unit (not a refurbished one as they customarily do) according to its customer service representative. Vizio HDTVs are sold by Amazon, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, Costco, BJs and Sam’s Club. All the recall details appear after the break.

Our research indicates the Vizios with the bad chip assembly were made and offered for sale in the 4th quarter of 2012. We checked our local Costco and verified all the E601i-A3 and E701i-A3 now being sold are new production, past the serial numbers of the recalled models.

HD Guru recommends to all readers with one of these HDTVs that fall under the serial numbers below to call the Vizio customer service phone number now. Don’t wait to see if the screen goes black as there is no way to tell if the affected chip assembly will become back ordered in the future.

Vizio is also extending the warranty on affected TVs (within the listed serial numbers) from one to two years for this issue. Below is a verbatim copy of its “Special Bulletin”. It is on their website here.

“A limited number of VIZIO’s E-Series 60” and 70” LED Smart TVs (model numbers E601i-A3 and E701i-A3) may experience a loss of video due to premature failure of a chip assembly sourced from a supplier.  VIZIO is working with its suppliers, retailers and consumers to resolve the issue as quickly as possible for affected users.  As part of its continued dedication to customer satisfaction, VIZIO is proactively communicating with its customers through direct contact with registered owners, through VIZIO’s retailers and through online and social media about the potential issue, what to look for, and how to reach VIZIO’s dedicated support team to receive help.

In a small percentage of units with serial numbers in the ranges of LFTRNWAN3800001 to LFTRNWAN4805300for Model E601i-A3 and LFTRNXAN4500001 – LFTRNXAN4702936 for Model E701i-A3, users may experience a loss of video on the display although audio can still be heard.  This issue is attributed to a limited batch of chip assemblies from a supplier, in which there is a small percentage chance that the chip assembly prematurely fails; this causes the timing control board to be disabled, which disrupts the video signal to the display.  This potential issue appears to occur typically around the first 500 hours of usage or first few months of normal usage and does not present a safety concern.

VIZIO has promptly notified its customers of the possible issue so that affected users can have their units repaired or replaced free of charge.  In addition, VIZIO is also extending its standard one-year limited warranty to two years from the date of purchase for this specific issue to ensure that customers who purchased the E601i-A3 or E701i-A3 can continue to enjoy their TV with full peace of mind.

If you have a VIZIO E-Series 60” or 70” TV with a serial number that falls within the ranges of LFTRNWAN3800001 to LFTRNWAN4805300 for Model E601i-A3 andLFTRNXAN4500001 – LFTRNXAN4702936 for Model E701i-A3 and experience a loss of video, please call VIZIO’s Customer Care team toll free at [email protected] to directly reach our dedicated service team who will assist in resolving your issue as quickly as possible.

Since its founding more than a decade ago, VIZIO has taken pride in its unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.  Standing behind that commitment, VIZIO is taking prudent measures to reach customers to inform them of this situation and provide expedited support for affected users.  With its all-U.S. based award-winning support team, VIZIO remains committed to taking care of its customers.”

As you all know the Vizio model referenced above as a major failure point. There are other members on this forum including myself they have had failures of the Vizio 70 inch model. It represents itself with it was working fine and then the picture went out but the back light stays on. On at least two occasions including myself replacing the t-con board which is the affected problem just blows the board again. There are repair kits for this t-con which includes a DC converter also EEPROM and a few small SMD transistors. First of all it seems the only transistor that gets taken out is the coxa that is directly connected to the small square SMD style IC to the right of the board. This IC is known as the gamma processor.

To my finding the reason that it keeps blowing this one transistor which is usually the only problem on the tcon board is because of a failed horizontal driver tab on the right side of the LCD panel. It appears that usually only one of these tab drivers fail. With this particular set up the main board does not have the ability to shut down the TV in protection mode like some other manufacturers do. The tcon board and the panel are both made by sharp. The problem lies within the driver IC built into the tab on the panel.

If you have this problem and you order a new t-con board, do not and I repeat do not power up the TV with the new board before you try this first. On the right side of the screen, if you"re looking at the back side of the TV then look at the bottom left, you will find a small white ribbon cable that connects the side boards of the panel to the bottom boards of the panel. You want to disconnect the white ribbon cable connecting to the right side board you should see the ribbon cable connector on the bottom of the screen on the side. Just disconnect that small white cable. Now you should be safe to power on the TV with the new board. If what has happened to your TV is correct, you will see the screen presented itself with a nice solid bright picture on the left hand side on the right hand side it will be dark, and possibly a little blurry. However you will see as small section spanning horizontally that looks completely normal. And what I mean by normal is that it"s just as bright on the right hand side in this small section as it is on the left. Wherever this lies on the screen is in the same area where you have the failed driver.

Now then I don"t endorse this as a permanent fix but if you have given up all odds and you"re about to throw this TV out in the trash because you cannot make it work anymore many have tried everything, what I did to Repair mine was carefully peel on the right hand side driver tabs directly clean off the panel. Remember this is only done on the side that is causing the failure. A few have had success with this and some have not. I however had excellent success with it so far.

You should know that Vizio televisions are not made by Vizio, and yes, that is indeed true. Vizio televisions are made by electronics OEMs. These companies design the TV models, negotiate the price, and then produce the TVs under the VIZIO brand name. Making TVs to order for companies that own a particular brand is a fairly common practice today. According to the Chinese website https://themoney.co/ VIZIO TVs are made by OEM companies BOE, Foxconn, Innolux, KIE, Tolly, TPV, Zylux.

If you need to know the model number of your VIZIO TV or the serial number. The easiest solution is to look at the model number on a sticker on the back of the TV. There you will see a sticker with information about the TV.

Depending on the year of manufacture of your TV and what factory it was manufactured in. The location of the information label varies, you will have to look at the entire back of the TV, some models may have two information stickers. The first is a fuller, larger sticker, the second is in the form of a barcode with the model number and serial number on the side of the back panel, closer to the edge. Of course, if your TV is mounted on the wall and access to the back of the TV is difficult, there is another solution.

If you can’t find the model number on the sticker, missed the second way or just don’t want to look there, here is the second way to find the model number and serial number of your VIZIO TV. You can find the model number of your TV in the menu. To do this with a few keystrokes on your remote control, follow these steps. Depending on the version of your operating system the procedure may be different, I’ll show you some options, if your TV has a slightly different menu, the search will still look something like this

Since the TVs are made by OEM companies, VIZIO TV model numbers do not give much information about the technical characteristics of the TVs. The model number is only needed for information on screen size, TV series, and year of development. More detailed specifications can be found in the description of the particular TV. However, you can get some information from the model number of your TV as well. VIZIO TVs are divided into series, e.g. M, P, D series. Depending on the series, the technical characteristics of the TVs differ greatly. But you should know that VIZIO TVs mainly belong to the budget segment.

M – The first letter indicates the TV series. Vizio divides its TVs into series, which are indicated by letters or the full name, such as OLED or Quantum. You should know that series may be available for several years, for example, the M series has been available since 2013. But the 2013 TVs are very different from the 2022 TVs. You should keep this in mind when choosing a TV.

VIZIO TVs are sold in the North American market in the United States, Canada. Vizio does not have its own factories, the televisions are assembled by custom electronics assemblers. TVs are assembled in Mexico and China, but at the factories of what companies – is unknown, there is no reliable information, the company modestly keeps silent about it. Vizio followed the way of aggressive pricing; the TVs, where the declared parameters are similar to the TVs of leading manufacturers, cost 10-30% cheaper.

Because users in the U.S. and Canada pay little attention to technical specifications. The main thing the buyer pays attention to is the picture quality, price, access to network resources, such as Netflix and the like. VIZIO took advantage of this by building a business model focused on the North American market. The company’s employees work in two areas: sales, design and service. The company tries to keep up with the technology of other manufacturers, and it seems to succeed, although the picture quality is somewhat worse than that of the leading manufacturers, but the TV sets are popular among customers.

How to find out when made TV Vizio. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to find out. The manufacturer does not specify this information. Indirectly the production date can be found in the model marking. But the following information should also be taken into account. For aggressive sales, Vizio starts production of TVs in Q3, and assigns them the model numbers of the next year, this was the case until 2018. Now new TV models are released every year. Anyway, if you see that the TV model is, for example, 2021, you can orient yourself, this TV model was produced from Q3 2021 to Q3 2022.

In 2021, VIZIO did not introduce any models of its premium TV lineup. All TVs have displays with a maximum frequency of 60Hz, which of course is not enough if you use the TV as a monitor for gaming consoles. I think the sales of premium models in previous years have not lived up to expectations. So the company management decided to produce more budget TV models.

In 2020 there was an experiment from VIZIO, OLED TVs with screens from LG. But it was also a single experiment, there are no new OLED TV models in VIZIO’s lineup anymore.

I don’t delete old pictures explaining the model number of the VIZIO TV. If you are interested in model numbers of older VIZIO TVs that are not covered in this article. You can ask a question in the comments I will definitely try to answer and help you.

I have a vizio 65″ model M656-G4 had it one day leg broke and hit coffee table.Had the insurance but they won’t cover it,walmart won’t cover it and Vizio won’t even answer me.So how much and where can i get a screen? mine is not cracked but has a dent and the picture is messed uo

I have a Samsung model# UN55F6350AF / Version # WH04. The front screen is severely broken. It does power up and lights up in only about 50% of the screen. I do hear sounds as i adjust volume ,etc… So my question is can i replace broken LCD screen? Do you have a screen i can purchase? I have looked up part but am having hard ti.e finding. Your video was very imformational but would like to see how the front screen comes apart. Thanks!

I have not tried this yet. A friend told me that the larger size Vizio television screens are actually made by the same company that makes the Samsung screens.

I have a Insignia LCD TV (Model No: NS-554D20NA16) which fell off from the wall and I can see the cracks all over the screen. Can I replace the screen by myself.? Where can I find the screen and procedure to replace.?

I have a 72″ Vizio model number E701i-A3 and it was hit with a playstation remote on the bottom by my son. The outside isn’t cracked, but it looks like the inside is cracked, and there are colored lines going up part of the right side of the screen. Can the inside screen be replaced, and where would I find a replacement if so? Thank you in advance.

Vizio SmartCast E-Series 60” 4K Ultra HD Home Theater Display (E60U-D3) my son crak the screen I am trying to see if the can change the screen please get back to me

I believe you might just be out of luck. The odds of finding a replacement screen for your tv and not spending an arm and a leg will be very, very high. Did you happen to find one? The reason I am asking is that I also have a P652ui-b2 and the tv turns on for a few minutes and then shuts itself off. I see no backlights or anything. I believe I may have a cabling issue inside the tv or panel issue. I have tried replacing all the boards but have come up empty. Do you still have this tv? I may need some parts and finding parts for this tv has become a never-ending search.

Hi, I have a 31.5″ Sanyo HDTV with LCD screen. My tv worked fine when power went off. I think they were working on power lines outside. Later that night I turned tv on and top left corner looked like a spider web. But you could still see tv picture through it. I couldn’t find my warranty papers so I put tv back in original box and stored it. I took it out to put in extra bedroom and tv has lines and looks like liquid pouring in screen. There is no visible damage to screen. So I don’t think anything hit the tv. The tv is only 3 years old and has wifi, netflix, etc on it. I hate to junk it if it’s worth fixing. I paid $350 for tv. Any advice?

Our samsung lcd tv has a star looking “crack” apparently in the internal screen . It was hit by a toy. The tv is still working fine but in the corner it looks like a rainbow colored star. How long is the tv going to last in your opinion before it completely goes?

The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.10 bits

Frame Rate Control (FRC) is a method, which allows the pixels to show more color tones. With quick cyclic switching between different color tones, an illusion for a new intermediate color tone is created. For example, by using FRC, a 6-bit display panel is able to show 16.7 millioin colors, which are typical for 8-bit display panels, and not the standard 262200 colors, instead. There are different FRC algorithms.No

The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC.1073741824 colors

The backlight is the source of light of the LCD display panels. The type of backlight determines the image quality and the color space of the display. There are various backlights such as CCFL, LED, WLED, RGB-LED, and etc.Edge LED
