Line, faults & possible causes to LCD screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent.

any display in the corners of channel number av etc ?? if you turn the volume up and down does that show on the display if not likely to be a dead panel

I had the same issue. I could get the tv to work intermittantly by pressing on the boards while playing. This points to bad solder joint, so I resoldered every molex plug connector, and it nows works like a charm.

I have same problem, did you find out anything?

Having the same problem except on a 32 inch LCD

I just got quoted $705 from the Vizio certified repair partner. Nice. Nice and way too expensive. I may as well buy a new TV instead. It certainly won't be a Vizio. They told me a I needed a Y systainer, C systainer and a right-driver board.

Lame. I'm trying to find something local.
