Blank/Flickering Vizio TV?

Question

i just bought it a few months back. it worked great until a few weeks ago when the screen flickered and went black in the middle of a show. now when i turn it on it works for 10 minutes or so than starts flickering and eventually goes blank. i still have audio and can change channels etc.

Answer 1

Hmm, that 5 minute power cord UNPLUG scenario MIGHT work if you do the TV and the Cable box......

But then again, I doubt it, since you have a good picture for 10 minutes, THEN it goes bad.....

That sounds like a temperature sensitive Video board or possibly a bad voltage regulator....

I HOPE that it's a bad regulator, because it's easier for a TV Tech to fix a universal regulator, than a Video board.....

Now, you'll need to get an AUTHORIZED VIZIO service center to repair it, since most Visio TV sets have a one year parts and labor warranty....

You'll need to find the purchase reciept they gave you when you bought it...the Visio service center needs a copy of it to prove the TV is less than one year old to the Visio Company....

And call Visio...they will provide you with the NEAREST Authorized service center.....

Oh YOU'RE going to enjoy dealing with them....That's for sure !

That's why I like SONY more.....

Answer 2

Power off the VIZIO TV and then disconnect the AC power cord from the back of the TV for at least 3 minutes. Then re-connect the AC power cord and turn on the TV.

Try this.........
