Re: Vizio P55 C1 Boot loop
I might check out what Sony has to offer the next time around. Thanks again for all the help.

Re: Vizio P55 C1 Boot loop
So maybe this isn't the place to ask but is there any reliable TVs these days? I like Vizio because bang for the buck you can't beat them but considering this tv got very light use and screwed up I may look for a different brand next time. I have a sony LCD that has worked for close to 15 years now with daily use and no issues but I'm not sure what the track record is now. Any suggestions?Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio P55 C1 Boot loop
So I just did a factory reset and after that, the tv took a firmware update via ethernet cable. After the update, I plugged the wifi board back into the main board and the tv is working again. I'm guessing a bad firmware update in the past caused some sort of issue between the wifi board and the main board. I'm hoping this helps others in my situation although I won't write this off as fixed until I use it a bit more. Thanks to budwich and nomoresonys for help. Much appreciated.Leave a comment:

To be honest it may have been Netflix slowing down. I'll see if I can find some local content to play. Do you think that plugging in the wifi module to the board after the tv has started would be an issue?Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio P55 C1 Boot loop
So some research says that this is the wifi module for the tv. Not sure as to why this is causing the tv to get stuck in a boot loop when it is turned on.Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio P55 C1 Boot loop
Ok, so everything seems to be working. The picture seems a bit choppy, and it doesn't seem to be telling me the definition that it's displaying in. Also randomly the tv will restart but doesn't seem to be a timeframe just seems random. Also after the tv is turned off then on it seems like it loses its programming and needs to be set up again.Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio P55 C1 Boot loop
So that one plugs into main display board. I'm going to plug something into this and see if the tv plays Netflix or something. At least it looks not very expensive?Last edited by evox45; 02-11-2019, 08:44 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Vizio P55 C1 Boot loop
Yep, not sure why but it works out well for me. I think I figured it out! When I disconnect this (see picture) the display turns on (I've tested this about 10x) Does anyone know what this is?

Re: Vizio P55 C1 Boot loop
Ok, so they wrote me back and the tv is not worth the time apparently. I'm willing to test connections to see if it's fixable. The pins you speak of are super small, hopefully, I will be able to test these connections. The only thing that wont work is having the tv off or on. It seems like the tv powers on and off and I can't seem to stop it. I'll provide some pictures if that helps things.

Re: Vizio P55 C1 Boot loop
Thanks for the help, I guess I jumped the gun here and apparently this tv came with extra warranty when I bought it from Costco. I'm currently waiting to hear back from them what they want to do with it as I live out of town and the contract says as long as the tv is over 40 inches they have to send a repairman. If the repairman can't fix it apparently they just cut me a cheque. If this is the case I'll definitely open it up and maybe be able to fix it if he cannot....Leave a comment:

Vizio P55 C1 Boot loop
Hey guys, I'm new here but I'm hoping someone can help me with my tv.
Model: Vizio P55-C1
My issue is the tv turns on, I see the Vizio symbol but after that, the screen seems to go greyish black than after about 10-15 seconds the tv reboots. I have unhooked my receiver from the tv. I've tried unplugging and holding the power button for a few seconds. Sometimes if I'm lucky the tv will work and it seems to work well until it is turned off again. I'm not aware if the tv did a firmware update or anything, to my knowledge no. I did read another thread about a different model... -
