My husband did it and it worked, thank you for your video. Only thing I had to wait for parts to be available. It took a while but definitely worth your time.
Great Video, Thanks! However, it would have been nice, although a pain, to know if was just the powerboard...My tv was on (70inch) when I got in shower, when I got out, all I had on screen was the V logo, would not turn on or off so I unplugged, waited a minute then tried again, no joy...now to take mine apart and see how it goes! Thanks again!
One of these on marketplace I might get if the guy can meet me. psu itself is $12 on ebay. Hoping to just track down what is faulty on the psu board itself and change it.
We shouldn't have to do this. The manufacturer has some problems to fix. I spent 600 on both of my vizioz... set them both on the curb after a year. Had this problem on both of them. They would just shut off. Then after 2 or 3 days. I could cut them on and they would shut off. Then after awhile they wouldn't cut on at all.
I have a Vizio 55" t.v. Model # E55OVL it will not turn. On, what's the part number to the kit you have in your vid, also will it work for my set. Thanks Kevin.
Hi Kevin, check out link for E550VL power board: www.shopjimmy.com/vizio-0500-0507-0790-power-supply-unit-e550vl-e551vl-e552vl-e552vle/?search_query=E55OVL
Hello, was the light at the Bottom of the screen on when the tv wasn’t working? My mom has the same tv and it just went out on her and I’m trying to figure it out
Hello, since I had the combo pack and it was just a couple more screws I swapped it. If the tv experienced a power surge or broke out, both could have been damaged.
Mine is doing samething I can see the screen using flashlight. It only flashes Vizio screen for half a second then black screen unless I use a flash lite then I can barely see the picture . I have done rebooted , factory reset .
Not gonna lie.... I love this TV for my gaming, movies, and the quality of it. I've paid $350 for mines and it's the exact same one as yours in this video. 50inch 4K TV. My tv issue is the TV won't respond to my remote. N now the buttons on the TV isn't responding either. It doesn't go to Home Screen anymore or turns off on its on when IDLE. This problem started literally 24 hours ago while watching WWE live pay per view. I tried to turn it down with my remote n it didnt respond. It didn't respond to anything I was pressing. N my TV right now is still on and I'm scared to turn it off, but I'm knowing I'm gonna have to. I am very frustrated because I've worked hard for this Tv and I don't wanna spend another check on another TV. I haven't had this tv for two months yet. I don't wanna buy a tech board n do all that extra. There has to be a easier way. What happens when I turn it off??? It feels like my tv is on life support 💔😭 bc if I u plug the tv it might not come back on😭😭😭 I truly worked hard for this gift to myself.
Sounds like it might be a software glitch. I recommend you unplug it for 30 minutes. Hard reboot. It might be fine. You should use a surge protector going forward. I put links to the parts in description because Shop Jimmy is “out of stock”. It’s a very easy procedure. I hope this helps!
My smartcast freezes when casting is this a software issue or hardware issue?. The forums are littered with others with the same issue and not one resolution.
This is by far the worst vizio tv generation, lots of these tvs are failing due to the screen issues, the buffer board on the actual screen fails therefore the screen needs to be replace which is impossible cause the don't sell the screen so pretty much the tv its useless, i fix tvs and i have i bunch of those with the same problem
Carolyn, I had no power light so I was originally going to just replace the power board. But since the price for both was minimal, I chose to replace both power and main board. Good luck!!
i tried a fix on a vizeo E-75 tv. Over a thousand bucks when i bought it. It spontaneously dissolved. I replaced the power board and the main board. it is still dead as a doornail. I throw my tvs away every three years because these youtube fix videos never work and are only posted for selling parts to hapless people who think today's tvs are fixable.
Updated parts link added to description. Thanks

Hi Alan, I would agree with you. My guess is a power surge or brown out damaged electronics. Since the pair was cheap I just went all in! 😄
One of these on marketplace I might get if the guy can meet me. psu itself is $12 on ebay. Hoping to just track down what is faulty on the psu board itself and change it.
Let us know how it goes ! Thanks

Umpf. That’s frustrating. Since replacing power and main board, the Vizio has been working well. Perhaps they had a bad batch of circuit boards….
they are self dissolving. They are made to self destruct a few days after the warrantee expires. They are indeed trash.

@@terryclayton Thanks Terry I really appreciate the help.
Good looking out Terry on the Part info, got the Part in did exactly what you vid said to do, and Wallahhhhhh, steak dinners on the table 👌🏾

Thank you for this, I will be trying it out
Hello, was the light at the Bottom of the screen on when the tv wasn’t working? My mom has the same tv and it just went out on her and I’m trying to figure it out
My tv did not respond at all to the remote or the power button. If your tv power indicator lights up, I would try replacing the main board 1st.
That is exactly what i will do, thank you so much for responding!
@@quintonoquendo8350 did you try to replace the board? And did it work? I have the same situation
Exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Awesome, glad it helped!!
What made you decide to change the main board also?
Hello, since I had the combo pack and it was just a couple more screws I swapped it. If the tv experienced a power surge or broke out, both could have been damaged.
is it harder to change the main board than switching power supply? or are both process pretty much same?
Both processes are very easy! Good luck!
@@terryclayton thank you! I just ordered the parts!!!
@@summer7346did you fix it?
My 40 inch vizio turns on but only displays V logo and then turns itself off. any suggestions?
I’d go with a new video card. Good luck!!

I would try main board next. Good luck!! T

Hi. I have not worked on this but I would expect it’s software or poor signal. I will post if I find more info.

I was surprised at how many people have had this issue. This TV has been working well since the repair. No screen failures to date! 🤞

@@terryclayton. my husband’s tv buttons on caved in im trying to fix rhe buttons how dp i fix this ?
I will never buy another Vizio. 💩
Why did you change the main board, the problem were the main board
I believe it was but since I had both boards I decided to install both. Thanks,
Bit confused so a New Power board and Main board you only gave the price of 1 part and didn't explain why the main board was swapped out
That was the price for kit. So I changed both. Mine needed a new power board as it would not power on at all.
My vizio tv is wireless i dont watch tv on it i play my ps4 on it now it won't turn on i tried all thr other stuff
I would try this before you buy a new tv
@ the light don’t come on plus my tv has no plug
Power light comes on but no picture
Carolyn,

@Carolyntessneer I have the same situation did you buy the part to fix it? And did it work?
@@kyleives8510 no i turned tv off plugged back in hit reset on tv
@@carolyntessneer1604 and that fixed it?
You replaced both now we don't know what the problem was.
It was the power board (likely due to a power surge) but I replaced both since they were cheap.

Sorry to hear that. I suspect a power surge could have taken out more than a board. I will say my TV is working well since the new board.
What child or teen knows how to do that smh
It was actually very easy to do if you follow the video carefully. 👍👍
Mine was able to do this with the help of this video! He's 12 and very proud!
@@DinaWitaY Great to hear!! 👍👍
What if you heard a mild crack or like a small pop before it went out. What then? Can it still be fixed?
@@margaretwees2291 I cannot be sure but if you open it up first you may see clues to what was damaged. Good luck!
Vizio's total garbage.
@terryclayton. my husband's tv buttons are caved in im trying to fix the buttons how do i fix this?
