Vizio woes	Can't Post

I was watching my vizio 470m when all of a sudden the middle of the screen turned black and only the left and right sides of the tv were visible. I was wondering if this might be an easy fix, so if someone knows the part that needs to be replaced help would be appreciated.

Vizio 470m - 2 results like the
Vizio SV470M 47" LCD HDTV,
Vizio SV420M 42" LCD HDTV
Vizio 470m - By Vizio

You'll kindly notice that "Vizio 470M" IS in the listing 2 X....
& it's there without "SV" along with those that do...
So there....
Had you googled "vizio" you'd had gotten what I did the 1st time....

I hardly ever search by the brand name. I let results that contain the brand show me that I'm on the right track. Wink

Clicking on pix takes me to site you obtained from.
