LED Backlight Strip Kit
The positive flashlight test confirms that the T-Con board and LCD panel are processing video data correctly, but the light source has failed. Vizio M-Series TVs often utilize LED strips wired in series; when a single LED diode fails or burns out from heat, it creates an open circuit that shuts down the entire illumination array. Replacing the complete set of strips ensures uniform luminance and prevents future failures from aged diodes.

Power Supply Board (LED Driver)
The LED driver circuitry, which is typically integrated into the main Power Supply Unit (PSU) on Vizio models, is responsible for converting line voltage to the specific DC current required by the backlights. If the driver's capacitors or MOSFETs fail, the board cannot supply the 'boost' voltage needed to illuminate the LEDs. This part is the likely culprit if the LED strips themselves test as functional but receive no power.

T-Con Board
While less likely given the flashlight test results, a failing Timing Controller (T-Con) board can occasionally fail to send the 'Backlight On' (BL-ON) signal to the power supply. If this logic signal is missing, the backlights will never initiate despite being otherwise healthy.
