Bought this TV earlier today. Was told that it gets power but nothing else. Got it home, confirmed that the Vizio light turns amber when the set is plugged in but the TV does not respond to anything (power button, remote, etc).
After taking off the back, no visible signs were evident. Based on previous posts I suspected that a reflow of U48 might solve the problem. Took out the mainboard, ran a heatgun over U48 for about 60 seconds and then waited for everything to cool down.
The TV has been running now for over an hour. I will repost if the issue pops up again, but I wanted to give my results.
Thank you to all the previous posts on the E371VL that helped me diagnose.
