I have a vizio e550i-B2 that has a bad picture. Wondering if the problem is a bas power board?

Across the top 20% the picture looks normal. The bottom 80% goes from a normal to picture to gradually very dark. You can see the picture, but sometimes just barely.

I assume you mean BAD power board...the power supply is the only board that wouldn't case your issue..chances are you have some bad LED's in the panel, in time the set will get to where it won't come on at all, you can take it apart and find the bad lamps and replace those strips if your somewhat mechanically inclined, be really careful handling the panel as if its broke then all is lost

SOURCE: I have a Vizio VW46LFHDTV10A - the problem is the

It can be main board, T-CON, or LCD panel. I would try reseating the ribbon cables between the T-CON and the LCD panel first.Unless you have service manual and scope to look at the signals it will be difficult to be 100% for sure as to which board is bad, the repair guy will more likely to do board swapping, starting with the T-CON board.

SOURCE: Vizio VW46L10 TV has a 6 inch dark band across the top of the picture.

Change input device to some other like a DVD player.
Switch off TV, switch off power, remove plug and wait for 48 hours and retry. If problem persists, call in a qualified service technician.

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.

Back - light problem. 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.

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.

Vizio e550i-b2 TV. Audio has started intermittently losing sound

First thing is test power supply voltages as the power board on this model has had some issues. You need to test the 12 Volt supply for correct voltage and ripple as cap failure is somewhat common. Don't worry about the 5 volt supply. If the voltage looks good you have a bad main board and that board will be hard to find and expensive, over $100 in most cases. As strange as it sounds a bad inferred sensor board will also make no sound but I can't say I've head of that issue being intermittent.

My Vizio E550i-B2 nothing happens when turned on,, Replaced power board today but it did not fix it?

Vizio are known problem TV set. Before you do anything else contact Jimmys tv online. They have all kinds of tech help. If you have a knowledgeable person about electronics they can help determine which board is bad. Look for swollen caps, burnt parts, may help determine the board. But also look for a service manual online, helped me a lot.
