Amazing!!! I'm a 73 year old great grandmother. I followed your directions and voila!, It worked. You are wonderful and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

My dad was an electrical engineer. You are really thorough! I got my TV from my aunt. I’m 54 soooo everyone including the TV is old now. I’m still getting black screen of death. Not a financial problem at $100 replacement so new side bedroom TV will be purchased. Thanks so much for your in depth info!

Did the first step twice. Waited for a couple of seconds and the tv now works. Thank you. Saved me from buying another tv.

THANK YOU!!! This is the 4th isssue I’ve had with my Vizio. I’ve only had it 2 months. I am returning it this week. DO NOT BUY A VIZIO. And if you still can, just return it and get something else.

My power light comes on then logo comes up then it goes down & the power light fades. Any suggestions?

Your video is awesome and fixed my TV. The screen was lighting up, but no icons; it stayed black(ish) but the panel was 'gray'. I for the heck of it turned the volume up and down on the remote and it showed feedback on the screen... but then started working. Thanks for your help! Cheers- mike

Just tried it and it seems to have worked like a charm! I have a Vizio smart tv and it would turn on but not load the home page. First time in months I’ve been able to actually use my tv. Thanks!

Na, nothing worked . Still a black screen. Nothing

That first step was EXACTLY what i needed!! Thank you!!!

I thought my tv had stopped working and all I had to do was hold the power button down for 15 seconds! Nice video!

Thanks, it worked . . . sort of. I have to push the ON/OFF button, on the TV, several times before it 'takes'. The small white light bar ( on the front of the TV) in the chrome trim, will come on for a second, then when I let go of the button it goes off and 'dies'. I have to press and hold it several time to get it to turn on. Plan to do more of the tests you recommend once it gets dark.

You’re a genius!! The power button issue worked perfectly! Thank You!!!

Thank you! The unplug and push the power button worked!🎉🎉

First option worked for me. It’s been flashing the Vizio logo. I called and they reset it and it was still doing it so I went to google. Thank you!!

Thanks. I was looking for this subject a couple weeks, but no situation videos showed up. Now, months later, your video just popped into my feed. I just subscribed. I have just been unplugging and plugging it back in, since I have a 32" set.

This tutorial was amazing! Worked perfectly to fix our tv. You saved us!! Thank you!

Thank you for the great instuctional help....it worked perfectly. You saved me a lot of frustration, and possibly money....a thousand thanks

Thank you!! Just got out office tv working again thanks to this video. 🙌

Thanks! switching to another outlet did the trick.

My Vizio TV has Control Board problem. In particular, the two ICs under the heat sink have soldering problem. So far, using heat gun at the devices for 2-4 minutes seem to melt the bad solder joints and heal the problem. This process requires removing the back cover of the TV

Great advice thank you my tv is now fixed, great video

These new TV's are terrible. Old school tech wins again. Back in the day you just turn the things on for years and we get what we want

GREAT JOB! FOLLOWED YOUR INSTRUCTION & EVERYTHING ON TV FINALLY WORKED TX!

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes it sure did work!!

I discovered the power plug that plugs into the back of the TV wasn't a tight fit when it was plugged in I took pliers and squeezed the connections in the plug and made them smaller causing the plug to fit tighter into the TV it worked for me hopefully it works for others as well

The remote step worked!!! Thank you!

Excellent review, thank you very much for doing this! Question with my Vizio that is a black screen without image. I am wondering if the fact that the Power On LED light (on the front panel) does not come on is a factor in making the correct diagnosis? Otherwise, at this point in my diagnostic attempts, I am suspecting the T-con board. Appreciate any help and keep up the good work!

Thank you!! Thank you!! It was the remote!!

Appreciate all the troubleshooting methods! Mine was fixed with plugging into a wall outlet rather than a surge protector

I'm disabled and need help. Please tell me where to call for repairman.

Thanks! The first step fixed my issue

Maybe I should go to power plant and switch that breaker on and off

I had the flashing til out power light issue. My powerboard is integrated in the motherboard. I replaced the motherboard and still have the no pic fading power light problem. Could it be I purchased another bad motherboard?

Thank you. It worked.

This worked for me~~!!! Thank you so much...

Thank you , it was plug going to back of tv !! Thank you again

Thank you! Worked for me!

This works! Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Google and YT to the rescue, again. Thank you!

Worked! You tha man

Well that got the tv back on, but now neither the remote or the buttons on the back of the tv work. This vizio has been nothing but trouble since I got and Vizio's only answer is, It's out of warranty

It worked thanks

Thank you so much! This saved me some frustrating and money!

The first option unplugging TV for 45 seconds and then pressing the power button does work, but only 1 time. I have to redo every time that I want to watch the TV. Any thoughts

It worked. Thanks!!

Worked perfectly thank you

Thank you so much! It absolutely worked.

Thank you working great .

Worked thank you!!

BOOOOM !!!!! THANKS FOR TAKING YOUR TIME BRO WORK LIKE A CHARM !!

worked for me

IT WORKED !¡ 😮 Thank you .

This is excellent

Thank you sir

It worked for me! Thank you!

Thank you sir. That first trick worked for me!

What do I do in the upper right corner it is saying your storage is running out

Great video.

Thank you but no luck for me. I guess its time for a new TV.

Would this work when your TV plug is connected to an extension cord? The Entertainment center is way too heavy to move?

The TV's on the TV is on in upper right corner it is your storage is running out of space what do I do

My tv turned of bye it’s self but the only thing that happened was something got unplugged so I looked this up

thanks that was awesome!

Now, what if you have to power cycle it every time?

This trick used to work, not anymore. Now it requires being unplugged 3-4 hrs to bring up the screen.

Worked!

Thank you. it worked

What would I do to have my parents tv. When your television just came on.

What if the green led light comes on but the tv will not??

I’ve tried everything! I still have a picture just blinking light on the bottom

Mine comes on, shows the logo, goes to a semi-black screen. Screen is black but u can tell it is on. Stays this way for about 2 minutes then shows a screen save photo and locks up. I have 2 new remotes and the original remote. Fresh batteries. Still no deal.

Thank you! Your a life saver.

No such luck here, ran through your steps 4 times and still black screen. Th8s Vizio TV is only 1 & 1/2 years old and doesn't get used too often, I'll never purchase another Vizio television! Thank you for the diag tips, however.

Thank you!!!

Or you can replace the capacitors in the power board that would probable solve the problem or send your rv to this guy and he will fix it for you .

Cannot change channels

For ~$25 you can buy a new power board and replace it. It's a simple fix and takes 15-20 min to do. You save $300-600. Seems like a waste to throw out a TV because of one bad board you can easily replace even not being a handyman type.

Worked for me when i held the remote power button 15 sec

my tv looks like a strobe light.. any idea why?

How do I get back to my KZfaq channels in subscriptions that should have not been removed I had surgery I can't search cuz it wants me to join gmail which I don't want to and it says enter my gmail address which I don't have one and I don't want one how do I watch my goddamn KZfaq station not the pay stations the free ones without having this issue I'm very pissed it's been 2 days now and I hate this new freaking TV

Absolutely did nothing for my TV it’s still blinking till this day

👍

When I turn my tv on the Vizio sign flashes on then off.

3 years turned off while using it now won’t turn on. Freakin junk

Vizio TVs are such absolute shit it's actually kind of incredible

So Vizios are crap. OK. Got it.

I have been playing around with his freaking TV and its remote for 2 days now getting nowhere technical support restarted from factory blew out kicked out all my favorite channels and subscriptions and now it's asking me for Gmail I hate Google I don't want anything to do with with Google I have been watching it for years with Vizio TVs and not encountered this issue I hate Google I do not want to use Google I do not want to use my crappy cell phone

Power supply board fail me time to get a new TV

It worked!! Thank you so much

Thank you it worked
