In this video we will show how to replace the LED strips in a Vizio TV, model number
E60-C3.
It is recommended to take pictures during the repair process to use as a reference point.
Be sure your TV is unplugged.
Begin by unplugging the TV and removing the screws and back cover off
the TV.
Disconnect the ribbon cables on the t-con board and address buffer boards.
Find the small clips and release them form the chassis.
They will be completely removed from the TV in a later step.
Disconnect the necessary cables on the main board and power supply board and remove them
to gain access to be able to release the small clips that are under them.
Re-attach the boards when done.
Remove the IR sensor to access a hidden screw.
Remove all of the bezel screws around
the TV.
Tape the speakers to the chassis and then flip the TV over.
Disconnect and remove the bezel from the chassis.
Remove the screws and panel brackets around
the TV.
Remove the larger panel frame on the bottom of
the TV.
Very carefully and gently, release the address buffer boards
from the chassis.
Flip up the address buffer boards and tape them to the panel.
Check the IC ribbon cables on the panel.
Be sure that they are not stuck or connected to anything on the chassis that will damage
them.
Lift the panel with suction cups and remove the panel from the TV.
Remove the screws and the filter frame around the TV.
In order to remove the filter frame, you may need to remove some panel padding, that rests
on the filter frame.
Be careful as this padding will need
to be reinstalled later.
Tape the layers of diffusion in the corners to hold
them together and then remove
them from the chassis.
Remove the plastic clips that we released earlier from the other side of the chassis
and plastic rivets in the chassis that hold the reflector sheet down.
Slowly remove the reflector sheet.
Do this carefully as the reflector sheet is stuck
to the chassis.
Remove the tape that is holding the strips to the chassis.
Disconnect the strips from the power cable and remove
them from the TV.
Align the replacement strips on the chassis and connect them to the power cable.
The replacement strips should come with adhesive on them, if not you can use our double sided
tape to hold them in place.
Reinstall the reflector sheet.
Reinstall the plastic rivets and clips.
Reinstall
the layers of diffusion.
Reinstall the filter frame around
the TV.
Reinstall any panel padding that was removed.
