Repairing a Vizio Tv

[Gentleman Jim]

I have a Vizio 32" lcd tv that will not power on. Is this something that can be fixed reasonably and if so how would I diagnose and where would I be able to ge the parts?

You'd have to get it looked at by a TV tech.

You could try performing a hard reset. Different models have different reset methods.. I found two methods here for Vizio TV's:


Method 1

Turn The TV off.
Press and hold the {CH +} & {CH -} buttons on the TV.
Then press and release the {POWER} button on the TV.
Release the {CH +} & {CH -} buttons.
Now press the {MENU} button on the remote.
You should get your regular menu up, but with a "F" in the bottom right corner of the menu (This if for factory).
Press and hold the {MENU} button for few seconds.
The Service Menu will be displayed.

Method 2

Turn The TV off.
Press and hold the {CH +} & {CH -} buttons on the TV.
Then press and hold the {POWER} button on the TV.
Keep all three buttons pressed for few seconds.
Now press the {MENU} button on the remote.
You should get your regular menu up, but with a "F" in the bottom right corner of the menu (This if for factory).
Press and hold the {MENU} button for few seconds.
The Service Menu will be displayed.

This same hard reset can be accomplished by unplugging the set for 2 hours - and during the unplug period - hold down the POWER button for 1 minute. While re-plugging to wall - also hold the power button.

I will try this later today.

Attempted hard reset with no success. No power is getting to the unit from what I can detect. If I am getting no power is there something specific that I can look at.
