In this video I show you what the problem is on your Vizio LED TV that is causing the top or bottom to be darker dimmer than the rest of the TV. Whether this has happened slowly or happened overnight, I first show you 2 possible methods that may fix your TV. If those first 2 methods do not fix your TV then you will have to replace the LED back light strips. The process takes time and space and you will need some suction cups to remove the display carefully. Watch my TCL 55in TV fix video and that will show you the steps you will need to take. My new led strips are on order and I will make this fix video very soon so stay tuned. Thank you for your time.

Anyone with this issue, as I had, I found a fix that he vaguely covered I believe. So I had the top half super dim and figured it was time to chunk it and spend another $500 on a new one but wait, I fixed it!! I tried the unplugging, pressing the power button for 30 seconds, etc but that didn’t work. So I thought I would try this: menu, Reset & Admin, Reboot TV. Bam. Works like a charm now. Would’ve never thought that it would be such an easy fix. Thank you!

Update: worked once but the top half darkness returned the next night and the fix did not help this time. Not sure why it worked the first time but not the second. Will look into it more.

Were you ultimately able to fix this problem? I have a Vizio D55-F2 with the exact same issue. I repaired several dead backlight LEDs and tested all strips before putting it back together to no avail. Going to check the drive signals next. This set has LED strips divided into five left-side and five right-side which makes it kind of odd to lose just the upper half backlighting. Thanks.

Thanks for this because this very thing happened to me earlier today for the very first time as I was watching tv. I tried the soft recycle three times to no avail and since my tv is only 15 months old and I LUCKILY bought the extra 3 year warranty, I filed a claim with Allstate. But then I came back and re-watched your video because I had passed over the part about unplugging, depressing the power button and repluging in and I did that and the darkness was all gone! Just as clear and bright as it was before! So thanks a lot!! I wonder what it is about that process that made it straighten up.

Did the LED backlight strip replacement actually fix this television, or was it something else, like the power supply board? I looked for the follow up video that was mentioned and could not find it.

@mikeoleksa 2 жыл бұрын

To follow up on my own comment... I went with the LED backlight replacement first, since it was only 55 USD for the strips. It did fix the issue with the top being darker than the bottom. I'm pretty sure it would fix most dark/bright screen issues after having the TV apart and seeing how the boards and LED strips all connect to each other.

If i go to picture settings, More picture settings, then Clear Action. Turning Clear action OFF then ON again fixes the issue untill the tv is turned off. But once turned on I have to repeat the process. Sooo Annoying. Any idea about why it just started doing this or how to permanently fix this bug? Thanks

My Vizio D55-F2 is doing something weird... When I first turn it on, if it's on a TV channel, the screen will be full bright for about a half-a-second, maybe one full second. Then it goes dim in spots. And the same spots every time, as if some of the LEDs are burned out. But those LEDs work for a half-a-second or so -- and every single time, too. When you first turn it on after it sits overnight, or when you turn it off and back on after watching it for hours. So clearly those LEDs at those spots are capable of working. It's almost as if they're being de-activated by the TV (as if, say, the local-dimming circuit has gone a bit nuts). I fear that buying new LEDs won't fix my problem, since these LEDs do work, 100%, for about half a second or so... Consistently... Any tips?

Yes because they used good full sized parts. But of course, they also weighed 100lbs and took up about 20% of room space lol. Nowadays, in order to get those stunning pictures and slim profiles, they have to use microchips and itty bitty SMD components. They're much more prone to dying out from anything, but especially temperature issues. So it's all a trade off.
