bro my vizio just went off after insetting a flash disk and it shows no signs of turning on

[@Patrickhook-3]

Mine can turn on and I can hearing everything I just can’t see I did all the steps and everything didn’t work I look at my tv closely and used a flashlight I can see a little bit but how do I fix it I can’t get a new tv because where I live we ain’t doin to good on money

[@panthera7291]

My vizio TV stopped working. It just shows power on led blinking and then black screen. I replaced the control board and it worked for a day. Next day same symptom. Black screen. Power on led blinks at the start and then nothing. Finally found the issue. The power switch in the back presses a tiny metal piece which was weak and was permanently stuck in the pressed position. I used a pin to make it un-stuck and Voila !! Tv now works. Swapped back the original control board and that too works. So all along it was a stuck power switch ! Hope this helps someone.

I had what I thought was a backlight issue (very dark and flickered in the right quadrant) but since I was desperate, I tried a factory reset (after a power reboot failed) and it WORKED! (Yeah, it was a pain in the ass reentering all that info but WORTH EVERY SECOND!!)

Vizo smart cast has been a pain for me since day one. I should've got a Samsung TV. 🤬

[@daftelf]

Samsung performs better for sure. I have both now. But you can't add any apps to the Samsung smart TV that they didn't make a deal with, like no dis+. That's ridiculous.

[@spencergallucci5309]

I have both and enjoy the Vizio UI way more than the Samsung. Plus i can stream anything to the Vizio but am restricted to what was already on the Samsung so no Crunchyroll

[@mr.walston732]

I have a black screen and sound. But the V shows up on start up as wel as the cable channel info/guide and Vizio menu options. What would be the problem then?

[@grandmumshands9596]

#3 worked for me! I didn't have extra batteries at hand so I moved directly to #2 and waited the required time. It didnt work and I became worried when I couldn't find any buttons, only one cord and plug. I had to remove from stand and lay it down to find the single on/off button on the lower rear that my hand had previously glanced over. THANK GOODNESS! I am another who wasnt excited about the prospect of having to purchase another unit with this one being in service 5 months. Thank you Juan!!!

My vizio was 7 years old and went black screen last night. Never has a oroblem before. Vizio good my bro has had then 10 years and he never had a problem. One minute unplug wirked

[@carlosonthekeys]

One time, my desktop computer had this problem. Powered up, but no display. Several beers later, I urinated on it and cursed at it while doing so. Many sparks and a shocked monkey later, and the computer ran better than ever.

[@jqbaker418]

You spank the monkey don't shock it!

[@msistah247]

None of that worked for me. Found out that the outlet was a major issue in my bedroom. Switched to a power strip. Worked fine now.

[@jamlady1000]

❤️

[@rae4110]

Welp, so far first try on the unplug and also trying the hard reset has not worked. So my mom's Vizio might be dead. I can see the picture a little bit, looking up at it from a low angle, but it's pretty much black, and now the sound doesn't work either... And it's only a little over a year old. We will try it again in a few days or week and see if anything changes...

[@marytravis-xi7hf]

My problem exactly. I will not buy another Vizio.

[@RedlegMP727]

That means that the backlighting in your tv has blown out... common issue with tvs, and it will depend on if it is LED or LCD to determine how much it will cost to fix... or just buy another... they are not hard to fix... just finding the right replacment part and the time to take the tv apart and fix

[@L.P.1001]

I just bought my tv from circuit city about s week ago. And now it’s black screen. I tried all the methods and nothing worked... I don’t have money to just buy tvs

[@EsoTownBizz6500]

What if there is no power button on the tv?

[@mcds362]

Wait what if this happens shows the logo then goes to a black screen ?

[@brotherdave1948]

That's the problem I have. I have been tricking back on by waiting for the input selector the immediately pressing the input selector on the remote. It's getting more finicky.

[@Jmacatac]

I just shook my tv one good time and it worked, granted after several shakes and like several hours. My flat screen is on a swivel stand, and I just kept turning the swivel back and forth - back and forth; then I shook it one good time and it worked, at least for now. I didn’t have to pull it apart. Turn it off and on a bunch of times. This happens a lot with my tv and all it takes is a good shaking and it works again. So, if that is the case, is it really the LED board, maybe it’s faulty, but it isn’t completely shot!

[@carlosonthekeys]

This is the most amazing solution ever. Also, this is a good way to quiet an infant that is being unruly. WAAAH WAAAH! ...several shakes and several hours later ..... *serenity*....

[@theambitiousqueen8283]

I hear sound, but my screen is black. I put a flashlight up to the screen about 3-4 inches away and was able to see the background. On my Vizio remote: I hit the menu button-system -reset & admin-reset to factory default. I changed to different outlets. I held the power button down for 60 seconds. I did all of this and to no avail…it is still a black screen. My LCD Mother Board May need to be replace, but I’m no good with electrical stuff. New TV it is for me 🤦🏽‍♀️ 📺.
