Vizio 65" LED Strip Replacement Tutorial for a TV with No Backlights - E65 

I just successfully replaced the LED backlight strips in my Vizio M-Series. These videos are very, very helpful, but if any of you out there are also fixing an M-Series, just know that there are some significant differences. The bezel on the top and sides is one piece and glued to the TV. The glass is also not held on by the bezel. I didn't realize this until I put everything back together and could see that the glass would literally fall out if I stood the TV up vertically. I had to use double-sided tape and carefully adhere the glass back to the frame. Trying to position a 65" piece of flexible glass perfectly was extremely difficult. I ordered the 2 suction cups and I would highly recommend this to everyone as it makes lifting the glass so much easier. This probably took me about 10 hours of total time, but in the end, for a little over a $100, I have a working TV again.

Unfortunately, my E65 had double sided tape in three places on the edges on the back of the screen. When I attempted to lift the screen with the suction cups, it cracked because it was stuck. The video shoud have mentioned slicing through these three tape points with an exacto knife before attempting to lift the screen. It mentions the fragility of some items but not the screen. The tech in the video just lifts it up without any problem.

Used tape and some long flat curtain rods I had laying around (sounds ghetto but I heard suction cups left marks, and the tape/rods evenly dispersed the weight across THE ENTIRE screen when pulling, so no flex...) to pull a 70" screen I just got for $25. All for one dead led🙃 worked great, highly recommend. Obviously left a little tape residue because it sat for a week while I waited on the new strips, but it was easily cleaned. So I'm happy with it, would try bigger 75"+ using this method if I ever happen to find a deal on one.

I had a great experience with Shop Jimmy. Their customer service is second to none.

Thanks was able to fix my tv. Might want to add the lcd panel is attached in 4 spots. Had to use a box cutter to separate it. One on each side and 2 on the top of the screen.

Excellent detailed video, thanks again guys!

Very Professional, Nicely Done!

These big TVs are harder to fix last year i cracked a 80inch LCD display.

Hi when the tv has no backlight do i replace the same too strips or dose that mean all the led strips are bad? cause i picked up one today for free it powers on but backlights out. u can see the pic by shinning a flash light in it

Hello, I have tried to change the Philips TV screen, but the screen is stuck. How to remove the glue without breaking the screen. I just broke a screen. Do you have a good idea. Should you use a heat gun to soften the glue? Yours sincerely

It's missing sime details. Like when flipping the screen are the boards still on the back with the entire weight of the TV resting on them? And how did he flip the TV? It's suddenly cutscene and the TV is magically flipped.Will the lcd try to fall out when flipping the TV once all the bezel screws are removed?

Can Cofs be repaired without binding machine? Please reply

Hi Jimmy, thank you so much for your videos. I have a LG 42lg10r. A few months ago a wall mounted guitar fell on it's top bar. Immediately there was a thick single purple line down the centre. So I turned it off and sort of just left it, wanting to throw it out. About a month later I turned it on again and the line was thinner. A few months have passed and now the centre line is almost completely gone, but some colored lines have appeared elsewhere on the screen. If the TV has been off for a while, the lines are almost full bars of black and as it stays on, the bars become thinner, but they don't disappear or go away like the original centre line. Please let me know what you think about the problem. It sounds like the T-con board. But I just wanted to be sure before biting the bullet and paying for the part.

I have a Vizio M75-C1. The TV screen wont turn on but I can hear the sound. My plan was to replace the main board. Do you think that is the problem? Thank you!

Hi, I have a Vizio D65-D2. My Tv comes on has sound and picture only problem is right side is getting dark at top and along the side to the bottom. I have taken the back off and plugged up and checked the lighting on back and all lights are on but right side is dimmer than the rest which is resulting in the darker screen on front. What is my issue and what can I do to fix?

Un75f6300af wont power on . Just hearing a clicking noise . No back lights. All capacitors look good. Any ideas??

Has anyone had a problem cutting the reflector tape this way?is there another way? Thanks to all

Hey jimmy I have a tv and the left part of the screen is lagging when the image/video changes any solutions or do you have a video on this ?

Alright so who bobbing there head to the 90s porn music playing in the background while trying to complete the repair. If you haven't well your loss!

How can i private message you i need help with my tv

I need help. I have a song Young Bravia TV that won't turn on. We bought a new power supply cord and that is not the problem.

Hi my UN65UN7300FXZA model code 65 inch curved tv , hit the LCD then some dark place around 40 to 70 inch and other place it’s normal , In what way to get the same model tv LCD to repair by the new one What is your advise

Yup, buying a new one.

I don't trust them suction cups I broke alot with them I use my and grab them.on each corners but anything over a 60in ill pass

Oh hell nah

I don't believe that's a 65 inch tv. It's too small to be a 65 inch.

To much work!! Lol
