Vizio 42 in smart tv won't turn off

If your Vizio remote quits working, it can from having low batteries, or a blocked TV sensor or a power residue of the remote and the TV or a dirty power source or a stuck memory of the remote or problems with the TV itself.
Make sure that none of the remote buttons are stuck or jammed . Try and reset the remote. The remote might not work temporarily due to the poor contact of the battery or and static electricity. Remove the batteries from the remote.

Lots newer sets have hidden menus and resets. Contact Vizio for reset on the set.

It can be noted at the back cover of the TV; or at its chassis inside.
Electro help

1. pull battery from remote for 10 seconds. This will force reboot of remote. test, if fail move ahead,



2. do a main reset on Tv,, pull power plug from power source,, wait 10 seconds, reconnect, turn on!, fail continue



3. ? when you turn on TV is the stand by led light amber, when you turn on LED\'s does it start to change color , but standby light is still on? if test positive with findings issue should be your motherboard or even power board but it should be Mo/Bo..

i think that you have to program the remote

The power supply regulator board shouldbe ckecked for fault. Check the fuse. If it is found burned out, find the reson for that. Surely there will be a reson for blowing of the fuse, if it is blown up. Without rectfying it, inserting an other fuse in place, might make things more worse.

Sound issues and answersa short list:

sound on set or a box muted or turned down?

speakers inside the set (see menu) switchedon or off?

internal/external switch somewhere in or on back of set?

Clearly it could be a audio problem (a model number?) but explore all here thatyou have not already done--make sure theremote set to TV and look for a button on it marked MTS and if there cycle it.

You can also determine if same trouble when you play a DVD.

Your T.V. is programmed to store the last input you've selected. You have to manually switch it back to your T.V. channel input after each time you switch it to HDMI or any other input even when you turn it off. The "Source" or "Input" button on your original T.V. remote will change this.

There are at least two power supplies in any set with remote capabilities; one is on any time the set is plugged into AC and is supplying that indicator and the receiving circuit of the remote, otherwise it wouldn't turn on under normal conditions. The second power supply produces the needed service voltages used when the set is in use. This second supply is a common failure in many sets and it is generally traceable to poor design and the use of low-quality components of a certain type. Vizio may have a repair or exchange program through their service center. I would guess the cost will be between $50-$150 and you might remove the back panel of the set and look for a smaller board with larger-than-average parts on it and is related to the AC cord coming in. It should be fairly easy to remove and replace as these are often outsourced and just plugged into the rest of the set with dissimilar plugs making it simple to install and reinstall.

Hi, I had the same problem. My vizio remote for my 42 inch 2 month old vizio also seemed to stop working. Here's what I did: My vizio remote (like most remote's nowadays) was designed for multiple components (tv, dvd, vcr, etc). All you need to do to make the remote work again is set it back to tv. Now, the confusing thing about vizio remotes is that they actually have TWO places where you can switch the remote to the appliance you want to control. One is on top of the remote, the other is on the BOTTOM. Switch it back to TV using the BOTTOM. My remote had stopped working because I had inadvently switched it to another component on the BOTTOM component switch.
