vizio m502i-b1 lcd panel failure supplier

postal1in, it is pretty impossible to find replacement displays. If you do find them then the part and shipping are most often more than a replacement TV would be. You can try an look it up by the number on the LCD itself and see if there is anyone selling those. I would suggest that you try and find the same model TV that has other issues and switch the display.

The Vizio M502i is reasonably priced at $729.99. There is less than a $200 difference between the 50 and 55 inch sizes. If you have the room for the 5 extra inches of screen space, it may be worth the extra cash. Otherwise, it"s an excellent value for the amount of screen space and features included. The 2014 rendition of the M series has focused on upgrading picture quality and smart TV features. It is important to note that Vizio has ditched 3D playback in all M series models this year. It keeps the price down, but may not be good for those who have been building a 3D content library. Full-array backlighting is the star addition that has a direct effect on the overall picture quality. This bumps the contrast to levels that compete with some of the big name TV manufacturers. Vizio"s internet apps plus provides access to all the streaming services you"ll need as well as second screen abilities for smartphone and tablet integration.

The overall 2D picture quality of this TV will depend a lot on the picture mode you select. Active LED Local Dimming with 32 zones to enhance contrast control is one of the standout picture quality features of the M502i. Black levels are more saturated than we saw last year, and the TV certainly has plenty of brightness in whites. Active Pixel Tuning helps even further by addressing contrast issues at the pixel level for stronger brights and darks. In terms of sharpness, we"ve seen better from the big names like Sony and Samsung. This is a result of the picture processing engines and Vizio is certainly not among the worst. To further the screen refresh rate, Vizio includes a 720 Clear Action Rate feature. This backlight scanning feature will help with sports programming and fast action, but is better off left disabled most of the time.

Vizio has added a Plus to the name of their smart TV features this year. 802.11n wifi is built into the TV for speedy connection capable of problem free HD streaming. Some of the highlighted content streaming apps include Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon, Vudu, Pandora, and all the social media you"ll need. The new backlit remote even has dedicated buttons for Netflix, Amazon, and M Go. The whole platform has recieved a redesign with HTML 5 in order to achieve an inuitive user interface. We think it is an improvement upon previous iterations. Second Screen interactivity is also a feature for iOS and Android devices. Compatible apps will be able to broadcast their content to the M502i"s display without any wires.

My vizio tv worked fine last night and try turning it on this morning and can’t get it to power up? I tried disconnecting all wires and still nothing? TV is a little over a year old.

Ok, had a power outage. TV had no juice for hours after power came back. Left it unplugged, tried it tonight after 24 hours and the Vizio logo lights up showing it has power but doesn’t turn on. I cycled the power but nothing. What could this be? Power received but not turning on?

My Vizio tv stopped turning on unless it was off for at least one hour. It would just try for a second and cut off, sometimes not even showing the Vizio sign. That was a two day window. Now, it just flat out doesn’t work. Of course, I purchased it at the end of 2014, which puts it barely outside of the one year warranty range. Unless they fix it free of charge, I’m starting/joining a social media campaign to make people aware they should boycott Vizio. I’m furious.

I’m also having this problem now. Vizio ESeries 5034, 13 months old. Noticed a few weeks ago where it would take 2 or 3 tries to turn TV on. It has slowly gotten worse, now it’s really hard to turn it on. I read somewhere that this might be caused by defective capacitors on main board. I have 0 experience with this kind of stuff, but since a repair costs $300 in my area I might try to change the capacitors myself, repair is pretty much the price of a new TV

I purchased this tv because it and Vizio had a good review and the picture was great and it had a lot of desirable features. Less than two years later, and thankfully was still under warranty, the tv died. They said it was the power supply and apparently this is a know issue. Vizio customer support was great and since it was still under warranty, they sent us a refurbished model of the same tv. I wouyld have preferred a new set since that is what I paid for but, I felt it was still better than no tv. Less than six months later guess what? Yes, that tv died. Now they are sending a lesser refurbished model. Again, better than nothing, but I will never buy another Vizio based on being so unreliable. Two years, two tvs fried. I expect this replacement will only last a matter of months

My Vizio does the same thing.. Complete piece of crap. If the tv is left plugged in after watching it that night before, it often won’t turn back on the next day.. The power light lights up, but no picture is illuminated.

If we unplug the tv the night after we watch it and then plug it in right before we watch it the next day, then there are no issues and it works fine. Of course, this happens about 15mths outside of the warranty. Luckily, I purchased the tv with my Amex, so they refunded me for the $330 estimated repair, but I now don’t have any faith in Vizio’s products. Terrible company with a sh*t product.

I have a Vizio 42″ E422VA over a yr old so out of warranty. 3 mo ago the HDMI ports started Not working, now the TV does Not turn on. I opened the TV short circuited the fuse and still not working. PLEASE BOICOT VIZIO THEY SELL TRASH TV’s!!

Yep, we had various minor problems with tv from day 1 but would call Vizio and get some minor help for a while. We bought our tv from Costco so 2 yr. manufacturing Warranty but never thought to call Costco Conciege always went through Vizio they don’t know 1/2 of what they should for their tech. support. When we just passed the 2 yr. mark the problems magnified by quadruple and we kept thinking “oh, the next firmware update will resolve all isues”, and sometimes it helped a little sometimes not. Luckily we paid for extended Squaretrade Warranty and now working on getting a repair but have so many issues don’t think 1 repair item will resolve all so hoping that they will have to replace it…
