Re: Vizio VO42L, Backlite & PS OK, no pic, now what?

Mike,

My Vizio E320VL would go from amber (off) to white (on) vizio logo would appear on screen then it would power off in a few seconds. After reading a bunch of forums I found information on a firmware update issue. I called Vizio and they sent me the items to do a firmware update. TV is now working perfectly. It may not be your issue but contacting Vizio and asking about a firmware update may be worth a try. Good Luck!

Re: VIZIO E320VL Powers on then shuts off within a few seconds

Hi,

I called Vizio Support with the make, model and serial number of the TV. I explained the problem and that the TV was only 18 months old, but warranty expired. I told them that I had found on another forum where someone with the same issue posted about the black box EEPROM and USB firmware update. They verified that there is a firmware update for this model TV. I explained that I would appreciate their assistance on their product even if it is out of warranty. They asked me to email scan of receipt...

Hi All,
First let me say thank you all so much for your help. I truly appreciate the input from you all. Here is my update. I called Vizio and after scanning receipt and talking to support they told me there is a firmware update. They sent me, at no cost with prepaid return shipping, a black box with an RGB and USB hookup. I connected to TV and pressed a RESET button (following instructions). Then power it on. The next step was to disconnect this box from the TV. Power it off. Then insert a USB flash drive they...

another update, some further research has indicated that it may be a firmware update issue, I called Sam's Club (vendor) and their tech support indicated firmware - I contacted Vizio as well, they need me to scan my receipt, asked them about a firmware update, even if it is out of warranty I'm hoping that they will at least assist with sending a USB drive and an EEPROM (?? whatever this is) to update it.....I'm no techie thanks for understanding.

Thank you for the responses, when I get home from work I will take the photos and post them. I don't want to order a board only to find out that it wasn't the problem. Very disappointing.

Hi All - I'm new to this. I have a [B]Vizio 32" LCD HDTV[/B] that is 18 months old. It has stopped working. It [B]will power on, amber light goes to white, displays VIZIO on the screen, then within a few seconds powers off and goes back to amber[/B]. Since the Vizio logo displays and I see light I assume the backlight is working fine. Of course the warranty is up. I have opened the TV, I do not see any visible issues with bulging or leaking capacitors. I have tried to reset, uplugged all external devices, unplugged from power source, held the power button for 60 seconds, plugged into new...
