Checkout this video, I had the same issue that you are talking about and I documented the repair in this video:- czcams.com/video/0roc63psaEY/video.html

Wow, sounds like you discovered another fix that my video did not cover...thanks for your comment and glad this video helped out somehow!!

These cells are called 18650. They are available all over, even in laptop batteries are made using the same cell. Just search online... pretty common cells that you can find pretty much in any portable rechargeable electronics.

Good Questions! The problem isn't in the ribbon, the true problem is in the actual panel/screen. No, this technique won't work with horizontal lines. You can tap the other side ribbon if you have lines on other side.

@@Xx_TheCuriousBrain_xX I disagree with you, I think it IS the T-Con board. I'm going to try this tape method in a few minutes and report back to this video. I've been trying to get a working T-Con (timing control board) from a few vendors in the past month and they are not to be had. One vendor had every part for my particular model, EXCEPT the T-Con board. I'm confident that this is the weak link of these V Series Visios TVs. I'll let you know my finding soon. Thank yoy for your video.

​@@Salty_Knuckles that's okay, you don't need to agree with it. Let me tell you this:- After making this video, I decided to move the tape around and start blocking more terminals to see if it maybe fix color issue...tried bunch of times without turning the power off and ended up blowing my t-con board. IC on t-con board heated once and then no pic on the screen at all no matter what I did after, so I knew at that time I got a bad t-con board. I had to make the decision of either throwing away this TV or purchase new t-con board. Ordered new t-con board, came in mail, installed without tape at first to confirm if my previous t-con board was bad and nope, same lines with brand new board, put the tape carefully and then lines were eliminated. It was painful to damage working t-con board and had to wait good 3 weeks for AliExpress to deliver me cheaper t-con board compared to expensive local board.

Oh yeah, it was pretty crazy!!!

Very true about greasing tools...one thing I learned over the years... everything requires maintenance and they will last way longer if you maintain well. So yeah opening tools and cleaning them well and applying new grease will extend life so much in long run. I also install fan on my TV's on the back side to keep them cool as heat is #1 reason why most tv breaks. So I guess I will make one video on that too..I normally connect fan wires to USB Port on the TV itself so it only turn when you turn on TV and low on speed soo it not noisy enough to notice but enough RPM to keep tv main board cool. Thanks again for watching my videos...

@@Xx_TheCuriousBrain_xX ... The fans are a Great idea... I think I'll use that. Thanks for the tip...

Glad this video helped someway... I'm sure they got different brands over there. I'm born and raised in India and know you can buy something similar in India too that works on 220w...just search variables power supply, I'm sure you will find something online there.

Thanks for the sub!

Thank you, here is the link:- Kungber DC Power Supply Variable with Memory, 30V 5A Adjustable Switching Regulated DC Bench Linear Power Supply with Memory Recall and Output Disable Button 4 Digits Display and Alligator Leads a.co/d/4zsVWKG

I am planning to make a detailed video on my power supply to help understand how exactly it works and how it's useful for pretty much anything. Meanwhile feel free to subscribe to help support channel.

Lol, yeah it's more of a luck type repair because you never know exactly where the problem is...you can try blocking more terminals to see if that helps since there is no clear indication which one would help. I only made video after I knew I was able to fix it until then it was just a matter of time :)

In another video, the guy moves the tape to cover the next few connection in the ribbon if the first 4-5 don't do the trick. Keep trying, don't give up.

It's called dc power supply variable, lookup on Amazon and you'll find many.

Definitely NOT a battery issue because like you said it's charging. So the battery portion is good. I'm pretty sure either some relay on main board or mosfet went bad. See if you hear click noise when you turn ac outlet on?

@@Xx_TheCuriousBrain_xX Yes there is a very noticeable, audible click when I turn the AC outlets on and the Overload text flashes. Would that be the mosfet?

So if you hear click, it means relay is good. Now seems like overlord message is preventing it to work like it's stuck on that message. Now I'm not sure how exactly it's programmed and what components trigger overload message. Maybe Google it to see if someone knows about it and maybe contact ecoflow directly if they have a way to reset it somehow?

Here is the link I found online, seems like it's a known issue and people couldn't figure out this issue yet...maybe contact ecoflow on this... checkout this link below: www.reddit.com/r/Ecoflow_community/comments/10funsh/overload_sign_on_display_heres_what_to_do/

@@Xx_TheCuriousBrain_xXI have this exact same issue as well… I’m out of warranty since 2 weeks ago…

Good comment, will try that but I guess when you plug cold solder first in power, it should consume most power too at least at startup to kickstart...

That's what BMS (battery management system) is for but it's not smart enough to only charge cells that are unbalanced. It basically stops charging when it detects unbalancing which I guess makes sense because there is no programming or processor that can calculate all that in these BMS. Now you know why expensive cars like Tesla are way advanced as it shows you individual cell voltage and you will know exactly what cells are bad etc.

Interesting! I read online, it looks like cheap one doesn't have thermo regulator but yes expensive ones does.

Lol, thanks bhai!

Thank you! Subscribe if you haven't already and here is the link, that's the one I got but anything similar would do the work! This power supply help me so much, well worth it You can also use this to charge pretty much anything in your house:- Kungber DC Power Supply Variable with Memory, 30V 10A Adjustable Switching Regulated DC Bench Linear Power Supply with Memory Recall and Output Disable Button 4 Digits Display and Alligator Leads a.co/d/fVc3DCJ

Any recommendations?

Depends on length, the one I'm using doesn't...so far so good!

Thanks for your comment! No new updates, I can tell you that resetting TV or settings won't fix that discoloration as it's more related to actual panel (screen) so what I did in this video can just fix the vertical line but can't fix discoloration.

Sounds like you are doing pretty well. Test total voltage of entire battery pack to make sure it's 70v + otherwise it's possible you might have missed some of the cell.

​It's a 60v, 8ah. Total voltage is 58.3. It should work. This is my first time, but can't imagine it not working. I'm about to charge it up directly with another 60v fully charged battery. That's how I started the project. Started with no charge bars showing. After repeated charges, had three bars. Even worked in the riding mower when it was the only battery installed. Makes no sense to me.

Yes it doesn't make sense. Okay, so if it shows 58v, then technically it is close to full charge. Do a load test to see if it output fine...maybe use it for a little bit and then try to charge to see if the charger pickup. I don't remember on this battery model but normally BMS also has buttons to reset itself, maybe Google it on how to reset BMS, that might help. At this point, sounds like your battery is charged enough, BMS is being an issue now that's preventing to charge the battery.

Thank you for the comment! Something doesn't line-up. They got 8S battery, so if you got 4v in each segment, then total voltage should be 32v or so not 20. Maybe check again, something doesn't seem right.

Sorry... battery voltage at the BMS = 31.92... the of things is that 31.92 is on initial startup of the BMS... if you come back afew minutes later... it shows 20.09? bottom line . i can't charge it.. and it will not turn on

Sounds like bad cells to me, when voltage with load drop and goes back up when there is no load. If you got bad cells, then charging individual cell won't help but you can confirm it by applying small load to each segment while using multi-meter to see if voltage stays same around 4v or drop or things doesn't work when you give small load. Just connect simply like small dc motor or light bulb or anything small dc power device on each segment to see if that works. I did the same in one of my hoverboard battery repair video, hope that helps!

Not sure what you mean by memory? Believe it or not, this video was posted 3-4 months ago and it's still working great for me and does full charge every time I use it. You could be right in other scenarios...

Yes, I ended up making 3 parts. Part 2 is all about putting back everything together and part 3 is actual repair. Part 2 is set to go live on 5/17 and part 3 on 5/20. I can tell you that you will have to charge individual segments after testing with multi-meter....most likely you will have segment 1-2 bad as that's what was weak in mine.

Nahi nahi bilkul galat nahi bola and mujhe koi bura nahi laga...that's all reality :) You are 100% Correct about your statement!

Haan yaha ke log bhi garibh hote hai lekin ye yaha ka culture hai, nothing personal about India at all because my father-in-law dusro ke saath same behavior karta hai. Actually, he's more nice to me than others lol. I atleast shake hand with him and others don't even do that...lekin haan I completely agree ki jo respect indian ke damaad ko milti hai, yaha 0%....good comment :)

Apnay festival lelo ya shadiyan lelo ya padosi kay ghar dawath mai jao ya milnay jao alag hi hai maaza mai india ki baath kehroo yehan sirf paisa hai lekin barkath nahi hai khushi nahi hai apnay sanskaar alagh hi lavel kay hai apni mitti apni hoti hai bas ek roti decide karti hai kahan rehna hai kidhar lejati hai.

Kya baat hai! Bilkul sahi baat hai! Main bhi jab India gaya tha last time, bohot respect mili and bohot bhadiya khatirdari hui jo yaha 12 saal me bhi nahi mili.

I didn't and you don't need to disconnect each cell in order to charge individuall. Simply connect positive to positive and negative to negative, you will be able to charge normal. Just pick positive negative correctly while making sure they belong to that individual cell only..use multi-meter to assure positive negative are correct before charging.

@@Xx_TheCuriousBrain_xX I think I understand it now the resistance the other way around the circuit through the other 19 batteries would be so high as to limit current.

Exactly, so charge them individually. I don't believe you need to charge all of them, just the one that's low...most of those should all match, just 1 or 2 that's below average volume that cause the damage in unless all cells are below 3v or so. Once every cell matches, then regular charger should pickup charging....also do subscribe if you haven't already, to help support...thnx!!!

You know what ice is? It's useless because you already can pour it

How do you know it is lukewarm? You must have super powers through the screen. You can refrigerate the 2 liter beforehand.

It's called dc various power supply:- a.co/d/5c1U6UJ
