[@firstandlast8674]

Thanks for the video. With your help I was able to narrow my D650I-B2's problem to the T-Con Board. I also Dremmeled out the IR window to make a better connection with the remote from a further distance. The hardest part of the fix was separating the back from the TV! yeesh! That thing was stubborn! Thanks!

[@BigHossPlayz]

What was your tv doing? Mine is having issues as well

[@davidbrown8303]

The makeshift TV stand you had it on I can see why it fell and cracked the panel.

[@HammSilv]

thanks. This helped a lot.

[@robertalopez1263]

OMG! Thank you! I blew the speakers on my VIZIO M60 and needed help removing the back to replace the speakers. Your video was priceless. Additionally, The back had built in clips I couldn’t see so it was harder to detach the bottom edge. While lifting the top edge of the TV back I could see A vary narrow gap around the bottom edge that wouldn’t release. I pressed a flat head screw driver in that gap while gently raising the back. Pressing the screwdriver released the built in clips and caused the rest of the TV back to release.

[@TechTalkvideo]

So grateful we were able to help. Thanks so much for the feedback as well as the extra tips to help remove the back casing. Hope you were able to get your speakers working great.

[@Berkner80]

Little late I know but I would have just output the sound through a small stereo or computer. I don't even use my tv speakers.

[@robertalopez1263]

I agree. Thank you. Especially since I typically run the sound through an amplifier and external speakers (Blowing the TV speakers was a fluke event). However, I knew that if I ever wanted to buy a new TV, at the very least, I would want to give this TV to someone to use and I wanted to make it easy for that person to just plug and play. The speakers were only $13 each, if I remember correctly, which allows me to keep it out of a landfill a little longer, and allow someone else to get use out of it. Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@heartysquid]

I have a model E320i-A0 Needed to crack into it because of the power button wearing out and breaking from its mounting. Unlike yours here the IR stuff is entirely mounted on the front/right(other lower corner from the IR sensor) and levering up gently with a flathead to pop it gently loose and then you shouldn't have issues getting into the back after... Rather than glue they appear to have used plastic catches so I'd reccomend taking it slow and gentle.

[@chanceskye]

what size little screws go around the perimeter of the tv?

[@wuxadded]

I have a Vizio V435-H1, it`s hard to get any info about pulling the back for the speakers because I bought it blown the rest works. I can`t get a repair video or manual. Can you help?

[@Berkner80]

Mine is way harder to remove than yours. I'm done for tonight but should I try and remove first from the bottom or the top? I have all screws removed but still will not come apart.

[@Rayray11517]

I used a random card to run along the edges

What screw driver one tho that work the length? It showing more than one screw driver

[@lonely_babe22]

Does this tv have a way to control volume on the back of the tv??

[@dalemettee1147]

Now, I've found that one of the problems with these sets is the grounding screws come lose from temperature expansion. do you know what size they are. Panasonic fixed their sets with lock washers. What size are the screws for the washers? I'm thinking internal tooth star washers.

[@mishmash6991]

I'm looking for the exact location of where the spy camera is that they put in these, so I'm not spyed on and cuz I need a small ass camera....for free...thanks Vizio hahahaaa

I have a 2016 Vizio P65. I have dust between the outer screen and the display. Any advice?

Does this help with the black flickering screen when your trying to watch tv or something? Can't seem to watch anything because the screen is so dark and just flickers

[@gardenlovechild2671]

Can you please tell me where the power button is located?

[@cat-lw6kq]

FYI smart tv's with Wi-fi have another cable so be careful to unplug as you lift the back cover.

[@theNecksLevel]

The model in this video is a smart TV with a WI-FI. The little chip near the top middle, that's the wireless board.

[@ckc1468]

bro what i took all the screws out and this thing does not "pop off" its locked or superglued or something i dont get it

[@TorbertTrio]

Thanks!!! I have the back of ours off. Our picture began to go light grey... & then from top-right of screen.... began to cover screen in black. We have sound. We are a US missionary family... residing outside the US.... so ‘help’ is not a readily thing. How can I figure out which part of the boards are bad? Thanks 🙌🏻

[@theNecksLevel]

I have a very similar issue. I took it to a TV repair shop and they told me it was the t-con board. I will be replacing that and I'll let you know if it fixes it.

[@Christian4everish]

How is your missionary work going?

[@ALGH2101]

My vision E420i-A0 is way harder to remove the back panel. I think it’s glued on like someone else said. I can’t just wiggle it off after removing all the screws. Just FYI for anyone else having issues.

[@benjaminvincent2578]

Yeah...I am having the same problem. Did you ever figure out a way to remove it?

[@ALGH2101]

Benjamin Vincent Yea I used a thin flat head and looked for areas I could slowly pry it open with little by little working my way down every 10in or so. When I say pry I mean nudge it a little then move down and nudge a little and continue or go back if it worked better in a certain area. Made small marks on plastic but very minor and I could have been a little more careful. Just take ur time with it and don’t do try to pry it with the flathead near the buttons or inferred sensor.

I'm still unable to remove the back panel. I was hoping for a technique to jimmy the lower part away from the screen. Ugh! I'll pull more and most likely break something. Mine will not release.

Did u ever find out the fix?

[@davidbrown8303]

It sounds like the backlights.

[@chrisrodriguez8899]

The lines come on after like 40 mins or so could it be the t con? Or something else..

[@chrisrodriguez8899]

Any advice would be great thanks

[@Jamesbond22855]

From everything I've read over the past few months trying to fix my flickering D43-F1 Vizio TV, T-Con board components or cable is usually the culprit for something like this happening. Mine is also pretty inconsistent and difficult to make it do it on command, but I plan on buying a T-Con board and cables shortly/taking apart my TV and checking for blown capacitors

[@kaylaalexandria5739]

How do you remove the neck. I’ve taken every dang screw out of this tv and still can’t remove the back panel

[@360psyco]

Its apparent he doesn't check his youtube account. I'm still trying to get my panel off

[@austinsherwood7188]

Where you plug in hdmi stuff, the background of that is not part of the back panel. So push down on that and slightly pull up on the back panel

[@juggsforlife1]

i need to get a damn big black ant out from my tv its in between the lcd and the plastic window idk wtf this is called but its stuck in place right in the middle of my damn tv and idk how to open the front part i only find videos on how to open the back i need in the front ! tbh how tf did this thing get in there ??????

Where is the volume button .!!!

[@EliteOnTheBeat]

I bet i'm not the only one here trying to look at this back panel because the POWER CORD fell out....HORRIBLE design flaw but what a remarkable TV the Vizio is. Ive owned it since 2013. I got my 60" back then it was on sell for $999. Here we are at the end of 2021 and i've NEVER had any issues with the tv. I bet this was before they started using much cheaper parts in the newer TV's. I know plenty of people who have had to replacement multiple TV's and i still have my same one. The picture quality is AMAZING especially considered its age.

[@Berkner80]

I finally got the back of mine removed but the inside of mine does not look like most of the ones in the videos. I have D55-F2.

[@justin3441]

Same.. what's wrong with it?

[@Berkner80]

@@justin3441 I checked the voltages on power supply and they seem fine. This weekend I will do an LED check. I have no backlights so it could be my LED's are bad.

[@justin3441]

I did the same and came to same conclusion. My only problem I've had a hell of a time finding right part number for LEDs I have 12 not working. Only problem is finding replacement. Let me know if you figure it out. I'm going to look over more this weekend

[@Berkner80]

@@justin3441 TV's are cheap enough, if it's the LED's I would just get a new TV. If it is my LED's that's what I plan to do. Changing out the LED's are not worth the time or effort in my opinion.

[@justin3441]

I mean if you're willing to test the LEDs then you need to take screen off anyway, so you're half way done. Just need to plug in and put back together. Most replacements LEDs are 30-60$ vs atleast 300-400$ for a new one, that might have same problem in few years. I'm definitely fixing mine, I'm to cheap I've fixed a few. just need part number lol if you were in st Louis I'd come and get yours if you were trying to get rid of it
