After i replaced main digital board, horizontal lines appeard and screen was distorted. i unhooked the LED ribbon and reconnected it and the display was fixed. how ever, TV still randomly gets distorted with the horizontal lines. How can i check to see if the Ribbon or the LED Driver?

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.
Before going further; try a hard reset first. If it does not help you, replace the main digital board. There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so.

In what way is the screen broken? cracked, distorted picture, no picture but has sound?

If it is cracked. Replacement of screen is expensive. Cheaper to buy a new TV.
If Distorted. Parts linked to the screen can be the culprit. Most common part to fail is the T-con board. Main board may not be sending signal to the T-con board.
If its no picture but has sound. Back lighting has failed which could be several things that can cause that.

without any other details besides "broken" it will be hard for someone to help with diagnosing your problem. We need symptoms like. has sound but no picture. Picture has horizontal or vertical lines. part or half of the screen is black, black borders don't count. Hope the info here has, in some way, helped bring you closer to what to do with your TV.

46in Vizio LCD HDTV distorted black picture when tv is turned on

Hi There are three things that can cause this problem. Your lcd screen, t-con board or the signal board. Most likelly in your case since you say it's only half the screen it's going to be your t-con board. You can try removing it and cleaning all the contacts and replacing it see if that helps. If that doesn't help then replace it. If that does not solve it then it's going to be your screen.
