46" Vizio TV - Left side screen failure

[Nathan08T]

I purchased a broken Vizio 46" with the screen having a dark hue on the left side. Here's a video of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QO8InEMkpM

I've taken the back off and checked the capacitors and fuse and they're all fine. I checked all the connections on the backlight inverters and it works after that but was then intermittent and eventually went back to how it was. I've tried applying pressure to the screen and that doesn't change anything.

Any ideas? T-con board, backlight inverters?

is this an lcd tv? sounds like one or more display panels have gone bad.

Ya it is.. Could it be the backlight inverters? Where would I purchase display panels?

here are a couple of sites to check,although by the time you are done i think it might just be cheaper to buy another tv.
