This kit is used in E601i-A3 TVs with serial number beginning with LFTRNWAN, LFTRNWBP or LFTRNWAP. It is also compatible with all versions of model E601i-A3E.

My wife was on a local Facebook group and heard of someone getting rid of a broken 60″ led tv.  She asked me if I wanted it.  Because I like to fix everything or at least figure out how it works, I immediately said, “Yes!”  So in not too short of time I had a Vizio E601i-A3 opened up for inspection.

The common problem on these models is that the T-con (timing control) board goes bad which results in a blank screen (no picture) but yet there is sound.  The backlight is on but since the Timing Control board has a problem it can not send the proper signal to the pixels on the lcd panel.

Since I know this is a common failure on the E601i-A3, I took it out to take a closer look.  The internet tells me to test one particular transistor on that board and guess what, that transistor is fried.  So I ordered a new one, it cost $.54.  After soldering in the new part the TV fired up great and has been working great since.

The 70-inch Vizio E701i-A3 does cost twice as much as its 60-inch brother, however, and if you"re spending two grand on a TV, it"s worth considering the alternatives. Sharp"s LC-70LE640U is a better performer, Panasonic"s 65-inch TC-P65ST50 is better still in pretty much every way, and both can be had for just a few hundred more than this Vizio. But if you"re OK with that and just want a huge, very good LED TV, Vizio E701i-A3 is a spectacular value.

The E1-A3 series, whether 60 or 70 inches, is the nicest-looking Vizio TV I can remember. The frame on the 70-incher is mighty thin albeit a bit thicker than the 60- along the sides -- about an inch. It"s less than that along the top and a bit thicker along the bottom. The 70-inch Vizio"s bezel is about the same size as that of the 60-inch Sharp"s LC-60LE640U.

To make it easier to enter searches and other information into Smart TV apps, the E701i-A3 comes with a remote with a full QWERTY keyboard on its flip side. While not up to the standards of a good

The E701i-A3 sits in the features sweet spot for LED-based LCD TVs. Its edge-lit LED backlight forgoes the local dimming found on models like Vizio"s own M3D0KD, but the company does include 120Hz processing. Also left off the list is 3D, although in my book that"s no big loss, especially on a TV priced this competitively. If you want a 3D Vizio, your largest screen choice so far is the Sharp"s LC-70LE745U is the closest 70-inch 3D competitor.

Picture settings: The E701i-A3 has Vizio"s trademark list of picture modes named after sports -- Football, Golf, Baseball, and Basketball -- that have little to do with improving image quality when watching those sports. Advanced settings include two-point color temperature and a couple of

Connectivity: The back presents a strength for the E701i-A3, with four HDMI ports, one component-video port (shared with the single composite video port), a PC input, and two USB ports.

Viewed next to the Sharp, its natural competitor, the E701i-A3 showed more washed-out and less punchy dark areas, like the nighttime ship scenes in chapter 5 of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World"s End." The letterbox bars and dark objects, like Will"s shirt as he approaches Elizabeth (29:39), were lighter in our dark room, robbing them of some impact. The 65-inch Vizio wasn"t much better in terms of black level, but the 55-inch Vizio along with the Panasonic plasma were both superior in this area.

Color accuracy: Again both sizes of E1i-A3 Vizio looked largely identical, and color accuracy in all but the darkest areas was a major strength. The face of Elizabeth in the moonlight came closer to the excellent ST50 than on any of the other TVs, and in particular I appreciated the lack of bluish tinge seen on the other LCD sets. The Sharp was also quite close, however. Later on the beach under bright sunlight (40:18) Elizabeth"s skin tone again looked better than on the other sets. For what it"s worth the 70-incher also showed less greenish tint in the sky behind Jack (40:37) then did the 60-incher, but that"s an extremely minor advantage.

More obvious was the E1i-A3 series" discoloration, specifically bluish tinge, in black areas like the letterbox bars. It was more obvious than on the Sharp or the Vizio 55-incher, and as usual the plasma didn"t have this problem. That said, both the 65-inch Vizio showed even more discolored blacks.

Video processing: The E701i-A3 acquitted itself well and even managed to outperform the M3D0KD in this category, primarily because it rendered 1080p/24 sources with the proper film cadence. When I watched the helicopter flyover from chapter 7 of "I Am Legend," for example, the E701i-A3 delivered the smooth but not soap-opera-like look of film, while the Sharps, for example, evinced the stuttering cadence indicative of 3:2 pull-down.

As usual, there"s a trade-off: if you minimize smoothing by using Off/Off, the E701i-A3 scores basically the same as a 60Hz TV on our motion resolution test. Engaging any of the smoothing modes causes that score to improve. I"ll personally take a smoothing-free image over a better motion resolution score any day because for me it"s quite difficult to see any blurring in program material, even when the E701i-A3 is set to Off/Off.

The E701i-A3 also lost black-level fidelity when seen from off-angle faster than the M3D0KD or the Sharp. I did appreciate that its color stayed relatively true, however, instead of dipping into blue or red as I saw on a few of the other sets. As usual both sizes performed the same from off-angle.

Bright lighting: Although not quite as aggressively matte as the Sharp"s screen, the Vizio E701i-A3"s screen did a similarly superb job under the lights. It outdid the Panasonic, the M3D550KD and of course the mirrorlike M3D651SV at deadening reflections, and preserved black level well. GEEK BOX: Test Result Score

replacement screens , specificly your TV’s size, are not commonly available. If you do find one it will most likely cost more than a new TV. Vizio uses a hodgepodge of LCD screen. To start your search you will have to remove the back of your TV and take a look at the panel itself. There should be a label afixed to it. Use the manufacturer and model number from that label to try an online search.

Your better chances would be to purchase a same model TV (fingers crossed that it uses teh same panel) but is broken other than the panel. Then harvest the LCD panel from that one. None of this will be easy and you will have to have patience.

Movies with dark scenes — especially letterboxed ones —fared less well. Like some other LCD TVs with an edge-lit backlight that we’ve tested, the Vizio had sub-par picture uniformity, with certain areas of the screen looking brighter than others. In the scene where the crew first explores the alien structure in Prometheus, for example, there was good contrast between the bright flashlights they carried and the dark, cavernous tunnels in the background. But uneven brightness levels across the screen gave the background a mottled, “cloudy” look that killed any illusion of depth. And it wasn’t just dark movies that suffered from the Vizio’s screen-uniformity issue; I also saw evidence of it in dim scenes from Boardwalk Empire, as well as in regular network HDTV shows like CSI.

Screen clouding aside, when I engaged the TV’s Backlight Control feature, especially the OPC setting, it helped to increase black depth on dark movie scenes, which in turn gave the picture a greater sense of “pop.” But even with its Backlight Control switched off, the Vizio’s native contrast was quite good. It even bested that of the last plasma TV I tested on this parameter, though its contrast ratio measurements fell well short of the last edge-lit LCD TV I tested, the Sony KDL-55HX850.

The E601i proved to be a better performer on more regular fare like HD sports or news. So if that’s the kind of programming that you normally watch, you will likely to have less to complain about. The set’s video processing of both 1080i and standard-def content is without fault; it also has decent noise reduction, although that adjustment did tend to soften pictures somewhat when jacked up to a high setting. Off-axis picture uniformity was below average: When I moved 10° or more off from a center seat, picture contrast faded and colors started to look less rich.

At $999, Vizio’s E601i-A3 represents a great value for a 60-inch LCD HDTV. This set’s big screen can deliver a satisfying sense of visual immersion when you watch TV or play games, and its impressive brightness and contrast make it a good option for viewing in well-lit rooms. I also appreciated the Vizio E601i-A3’s generous selection of A/V streaming apps, as well as its well-organized App Deck for browsing them.

That said, the E601i’s sub-par picture uniformity makes it tough to recommend for movie, and even some TV, viewing: On-axis screen clouding and off-axis picture fade are both just too much in evidence to overlook. The Vizio’s $999 price is undoubtedly a strong draw, but you may want to consider spending a bit more on a set that doesn’t suffer from the above-mentioned issues.

The RUNTK5261TPZC T-Con board is located in the middle top of the back panel, usually under an aluminum cover held in place by four corner screws. It may also be held in place with foil tape at the top. It’s connected to the Main board through a black LVDS cable and flat ribbon cables.

Hey all. Brand new to the forum. I just acquired one of these TV it has been troubleshooting it no picture condition. I"m really surprised that I went to Target yesterday and found the same exact TV still on sale along with a 60 inch counterpart. I found sharp panels used in very very many large screen TVs. Anyway one of the three pin transistors most notably the one labeled COXA has apparently a short between the center pin to the top right. This transistor operates what appears to be is a 3.3 volt voltage is for the gamma IC processor. I have two of these boards both with the same problem the new one that I ordered I haven"t even connected to the panel yet and it was failed from the box. It appears that these boards for previous buyouts from previous failures it has a Chinese label on the back of the board but it came from ebay in the US. I myself am trying to still figure out what"s going on I contacted the vendor and they"re setting yet another board. I can"t seem to locate even in my parts stash thid 3 pin MOSFET with this label. Cox is the equation for the silicon inside the MOSFET it has something to do with the wavelength. This is a really odd transistor. I think its funny how shopJimmy sells this transistor and the EEPROM 8-pin IC. Has anyone successfully repaired this board yet are replacing the components?
