What causes vertical colored lines on a TV screen? When a TV is showing vertical colored lines, a loose wire cable in the TV might be the cause. If you knock on the back of the TV, the vertical colored lines MAY disappear temporarily. This is a sign that a cable is loose or the T-Con board is faulty.

Are you under warranty? Chances are real good that you need the signal board....the one with the rca jacks and rf connectors. This may be pricey $$$$$ but will surely repair the problem.

The PDP ( plasma display panel) is defect.You can look for badly soldered SMD resistors on the COF panels wich are located at the bottom of the screen.
Beware,the flatcables wich the resistors are located on are verry fragile!

SOURCE: I HAVE A VIZIO 42' LCD TV WITH A 8' BLACK BAR

You panel has a TCON (timing control) board which feeds the panel connector (1 or 2) inside the LCD panel, the picture information is then broken down inside the panel assembly via a connection board. You have 2 options: Replace the panel or toss out the TV. If you are going to toss out the TV, you may as well make a project out of it and attempt to fix it... what's the worst that can happen? You break it? It's already broken. So here's what I would do. Take the TV apart (photograph as you go if you are worried that you will forget what goes where). Remove the LCD panel and place it in a clean area. I would clear the kitchen table, cover the table with a soft blanket and then place a bed sheet on top of that to keep the dust and fuzzies to a minimum. Place the LCD on your work area and patiently and carefully take it apart. When you get to the connector board inside the panel, disconnect the panel connection directly above the black bar (should be a hinge style connector, a tab will flip upward to release the ribbon cable) and then reinstall the connector. You need to be careful here, these cables can tear if you get too forceful with them. After you reinstall the cable, go ahead and reassemble the panel and then the TV. If this doesn't fix it, you are back to option 1... replace the panel or the entire TV. Option 1 is more often the TV as the panel cost is close to or more than the TV. Here's an illustration I made for you to give you an idea of what the connection board is doing:
40fa02c.jpg
Then signal comes in on the red connector from the TCON then goes out to the panel on the yellow connectors. This is just an illustration, your TV may be a bit different, but the principle is the same. I hope this was helpful, best wishes.

55 inch Vizio smart tv no video

It sounds like you may have a problem with the video signal on your Vizio 55 inch flat screen TV. The fact that the TV turns on and has sound, but no video and vertical lines on the screen, suggests that there may be an issue with the video processing or display.
It could be a problem with the T-CON board, which is responsible for the video signal processing. It could also be a problem with the LCD panel itself.
It's also possible that there's an issue with the cable connecting the T-CON board to the LCD panel, or a problem with the software on the main board.
I recommend consulting the manual of the TV or contacting the manufacturer for further assistance. A professional technician should be able to diagnose and fix the problem.
It's also possible that the issue is with the mainboard or the T-CON board is not compatible with the TV. Thus, it's best to check the compatibility of the parts with the TV before installing it.

Vizio has sound but no picture.

Hello
The T'Con board [Timing Control Board] has damaged. This board can be located at the bottom side of the LCD panel. You have to open the tV, to take it out. There is no repair to this board, and only card basis replacement should be done. OK.
