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!
Thank you so much! My 8 year old TV was working fine last night, today----nothing! Your very first suggestion worked like magic. Saved dumb me from running out to buy a new TV, I'm very grateful! 😄
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.
I had tried everything on my Vizio TV before I found this video after I unplugged it and hold onto the power button for 15 seconds and then let the power button go and wait an extra 30 seconds before I plugged it back into the wall it immediately lit back up thank you so much You helped me from having to buy a new TV because I thought the TVs went out.
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!
Thank you so much!!! agree with everything everyone says about your great advice. We had new Verizon set ups done yesterday, upgraded the service w/ new boxes, etc and I think there was just a lot of activity that could have caused this power build up or whatever it was you said! Incredibubble.
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.
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.
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
Mine is doing the samething but using flash lite I can see faint picture that being said there saying power supply . Cause t con is good so is motherboard . Did you fix yours ?
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
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!
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
Exactly, as in they downloaded an upgrade which is crap. This is my third Vizio and this fun by far is the f****** worst-ever I want to go to my I have fire stick at can't get on in the local antenna is jacked customer service attempts to help but they f***** up
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?
The tv E500i-b1 model was working great and then the backlight didn't come on the next time I powered it up. I unplugged the tv and tried again and it worked great. Next day I turned it on and the vizio symbol blinked on then the screen went blank . Re tried unplugging and plugging it back in but the power led comes on and stays on no picture. This sounds like the main board to me?
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
I was watching my TV and the screen suddenly froze, then half the picture disappeared, and the screen stayed that way for a few seconds. I was able to turn it off and figured it just needed the usual unplug and wait 30 seconds cycle. But none of that worked. Whether I use the remote or power button on TV, the light comes on for about 5 seconds, fades out and then flashes a few times before stopping. Any suggestions for that?
I have the same issue, just replaced the power supply but its still doing the same, sometimes the power light comes on and becomes dimmer until its off, sometimes it blinks for a while then turns off, no image, does this mean its irreparable?
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.
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.
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.
How do I get back to my RUclips 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 RUclips 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

Did the first step twice. Waited for a couple of seconds and the tv now works. Thank you. Saved me from buying another tv.
Same here! I unplugged the tv and held the power button and then plugged it back up and it turned on. I am so glad I did not have to buy another tv!

I thought my tv had stopped working and all I had to do was hold the power button down for 15 seconds! Nice video!
Glad it worked for you!
You’re a genius!! The power button issue worked perfectly! Thank You!!!
Thank you a million times! It was our surge protector!
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!!
Oop.. except I went to open Hulu and it started doing it again….. :(
Now it’s working…? I’m never buying a Vizio again….
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.
I love Vizio. Had mine for 10 years before experiencing this problem.

You the goddamn man this TV was about to hit the curb hard😂
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
Exactly, as in they downloaded an upgrade which is crap. This is my third Vizio and this fun by far is the f****** worst-ever I want to go to my I have fire stick at can't get on in the local antenna is jacked customer service attempts to help but they f***** up

THANKS FOR TAKING YOUR TIME BRO WORK LIKE A CHARM !!
No problem 👍 Glad it worked for you!
Thank you. It worked.
It worked for me! Thank you!
Glad it worked!
It worked!! Thank you so much
Would this work when your TV plug is connected to an extension cord? The Entertainment center is way too heavy to move?
That could be the issue
Maybe I should go to power plant and switch that breaker on and off
thanks that was awesome!
No problem!
Thank you sir
What do I do in the upper right corner it is saying your storage is running out
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
Agree.
This is excellent
Great video.
I'm disabled and need help. Please tell me where to call for repairman.
Worked! You tha man
You’re wonderful
worked for me
This works! Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Google and YT to the rescue, again. Thank you!
Thanks
Thank you!!!
Welcome!
Thank you! Your a life saver.
You're welcome!
Thank you. it worked
Awesome!
Thnx. It works
I got a power light that's stuck on but screen is black and power light again is on all the time .
Worked!
Now, what if you have to power cycle it every time?
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
Thank you sir. That first trick worked for me!
What would I do to have my parents tv. When your television just came on.
My tv turned of bye it’s self but the only thing that happened was something got unplugged so I looked this up
I was watching my TV and the screen suddenly froze, then half the picture disappeared, and the screen stayed that way for a few seconds. I was able to turn it off and figured it just needed the usual unplug and wait 30 seconds cycle. But none of that worked. Whether I use the remote or power button on TV, the light comes on for about 5 seconds, fades out and then flashes a few times before stopping. Any suggestions for that?
I’ve tried everything! I still have a picture just blinking light on the bottom
Sorry to hear that...likely a power supply board issue. Either will need to replace that board, or buy a new TV.
I have the same issue, just replaced the power supply but its still doing the same, sometimes the power light comes on and becomes dimmer until its off, sometimes it blinks for a while then turns off, no image, does this mean its irreparable?
What if the green led light comes on but the tv will not??
This trick used to work, not anymore. Now it requires being unplugged 3-4 hrs to bring up the screen.
Didn’t work.
Thank you but no luck for me. I guess its time for a new TV.
Sorry to hear that, good luck!
The power light just stopped coming on. You know the Vizio insignia is lit while power is off.
I’m having that same issue if you ever figured out what to do could you tell me?
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.
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.
O
Worked for me when i held the remote power button 15 sec
That's great!
Cannot change channels
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.
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 .
How do I get back to my RUclips 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 RUclips 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
I dont even have a manual on off switch🤦🏽♀️
my tv looks like a strobe light.. any idea why?
👍
When I turn my tv on the Vizio sign flashes on then off.
Same and I can't find a solution
Did you figure it out I have the same problem
