    Vizio E291i-A1 Menu problem

    I was recently given a smaller Vizio TV that has an odd problem. It powers up Ok, but has no channels setup. (says "No Channels in Master List") When I select Menu on either the remote or the switches, the menu comes up and then disappears before any selection can be made. If I connect a DVD player and select the Component input I get picture and sound so I think the power supply and panel must be good.

    I suspect a firmware problem, but the info I have been able to find regarding firmware says that these receive updates automatically over the internet.

    The "reset to factory defaults" procedure using the buttons doesn't seem to work.

    Haven't cracked it open yet, but I am about to.

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Can't seem to find any info on manually reloading firmware, but I see there are a couple of sellers that have eeproms listed on ebay. Has anyone had any luck using something like that instead of replacing the whole board?

    Thanks

      How to access Vizio m652i-b2 service menu
      by tusiime
      The current main board on my Vizio m652i-b2 only has 1 of 4 HDMI ports working. Also, the coaxial port is not working.

      So I ordered a replacement board. It boots up the tv, but the display is dark in areas, colors are off, etc. I have seen information online that a setting in the service menu may need to be adjusted. Have tried many ways to access the service menu using remote codes, but none work.

      Can someone here provide the confirmed method for accessing the service menu on this tv? Thanks in advance!

      No Power problem with Vizio E60-E3
      by rajbot
      Hi all:

      I have a Vizio E60-E3 I am trying to troubleshoot a no power problem with. Thanks to the help on this board and elsewhere, I was pretty sure I had narrowed it to a power board problem. The board in question is a 09-60CAP0D0-00. Image attached for reference, but not of my board (tv is put away at the moment). FWIW, no obvious looking issues with the board.

      I measured voltage at power in and on the fuse and saw 120V, so power is getting to the board.

      On the pins out to the main board, I got no voltage at all on any of the pins. I assumed this...

      Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs
      by theone111
      I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.

      In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.
      1. Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
        Frequency: Happened about once a week.
        Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again.
      2. Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
        Frequency: Happened about once a week.
        Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve.
      3. Problem: TV shuts down

      [HELP] SAMSUNG NP270E4E-K01AR

      1) Error trying to enter the BIOS
      --> [F2] won't let me enter the BIOS. To enter the BIOS, I had to create a shortcut and then type C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /fw /t 1 in the destination. This forced it to restart and enter the BIOS.
      Once inside, I went to the BOOT menu, but, surprise, it wasn't there. I got the following message:
