Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis.

To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board.

SOURCE: I have a Vizio E550i-b2 55 LED TV. I have no LED backlight. When I hold a flashlight to the screen I can see the images and I have sound. I was going to replace the LED driver? Thoughts??

Hi Jimmy,
If I may suggest, before changing, please check that the inverter board is producing the necessary voltage to drive the backlights or not. If the board is producing the necessary power and still the backlight is not coming on, there is possibility that some of the LEDs in the backlight array have failed.

Testimonial: "No matter which HDMI input I use the screen is totally black again. The apple tv works fine on a different Vizio TV with a different HDMI cable."

SOURCE: 55 Vizio LED e550i-b2. Confirmed no back lights. Unplug for few hours, replug and works again for a few days. Is best bet led invertor going out? Visually the boards and connections look ok.

Need Vizio TV E550i-B2 repair board replacement suggestion, TCON or LED driver?

This model set has local dimming and not a lot of issues with backlights failing, but it has issues with connector CN202 having bad solder joints from the factory. Chances are there isn't anything wrong with your old board other than bad solder joints and I have a feeling the replacement you got has the same issues but only a couple of them are bad making most the lamps light. If you've able to solder and have an iron you can repair it yourself, a little free advice is use a lot of flux to keep the connectors from wanting to solder together as they're quite close to each other.

Backlight for tv

One or more of the LED backlight strips behind the LCD have failed. Difficult and sometimes expensive to fix.

U are on the right track - problem is caused by the board that drives the backlighting - the inverter board.

If you can get the number for the board it may be available on the cheap on ebay.
