I just had my 2nd Vizio die on me in the last month! What in the world is going on? The first one was about 4 years old. One day it started flickering when I would turn in on. It would turn on, off, on, lose power completely, on, off, and then would stay on. When I got a new one (new to me- my inlaws got a 3D tv and gave me their 3 year old 42") I unplugged the old, replaced it with the new. I decided to use my old tv until it completely gave out and took it upstairs. I couldn't get it to even get power anymore. Bummer!
But now, my 2 year old small Vizio stopped working!! I saw that the WII it was connected to wasn't getting power either, so I flipped the switch on the extender and the Wii turned back on. But no luck on the tv. What in the world is happening? Is it the electricity in this place or something? I know that in the Kitchen here, lightbulbs only last around a month before they burn on. So I know there's electric issues. Could the house be killing my tvs?
(Note: Neither of these had a surge protector. Apparently, they're just extender strips. My new one is on a surge protector.)
Please use language I can understand. I know absolutely nothing about electronics
