V, Inc. Vizio P4 Plasma Television Questions & Answers
VIZIO VO42LF says no signal when connect to PC after power on/off
Could be a sensitivity problem, have you tried to switch tv modes back and forth, sometimes if you do that it will save you from restarting the computer. I had a tv about 10 years ago that had a sensitivity issue, went to see about fixing it, unfortunately, the tv brand was no longer in the country and user service parts were not available.
How do i download a dvd from tv to pc
There are two ways to do this:
1. Put the dvd in your computers dvd drive and use a DVD Ripping software to save the movie to your hard drive. This is the easiest (and cheapest) way to rip a dvd movie.
Here is a good list of the 5 best DVD Ripping software.
2. Buy a capture card for your computer and record from the TV. This method is more expensive since a good capture card costs 100$+, this is also more time consuming because you would need to connect your computer to the TV and watch the entire movie while recording.
I have had a problem
This is most likely cause is overheating, the plazmas use fans to keep them cool and they are subject to overheating issues, all plazma's not just Visio. Chech to see if you can hear or see any cooling fans running in the back of the set.
Do you get any flashing coded on the front of the set? if your vizo p4 blinks red 10 times its your power supply board ckeck your two fuses on the board,if those are not bad change your power supply board if you can find a board for that model vizio p4 .the phillips tv uses the same board.
If the fans are running and no flashes on the power indicator then the only other possible thing can be your sustainer is getting bad. Sustainers are the two boards mounted vertically on both sides of your TV. Its function is to power up your screen. Changing these two parts will resolve your problem. you can get parts at vizparts.com or vancebaldwin.com
The x and y sustainer boards run around $150.00 apiece so you might want to weigh your options and look at newer sets. i know 4 years does not seem long enough to own the set before it craps out, but you have been fortunate with this make and model. Most don't last that long.
42in Vizio black screen, no sound
I had the same issue happen to my vizio lcd just this weekend. Everyone is telling me is a bulb or backlight or something. It would explain the loud pop and no picture, but I'm not getting sound either so I'm not sure what exactly happened. Only after about 2 years too. I'm trying to find parts to just fix it myself.

when you hook up the cable, what type of connection do you use? if you're using HDMI then try some other connection. Cable box seem to have HDMI connection problem. Also make sure that what ever the input you hook the device to, you have that input selected.
My inner screen is shattered....
Yes, everything is fixable but at a price. In my opinion, it is probably not worth it as the screen is the most expensive item inside your TV. Not only that but it is also the most labor intensive part to install.

My replacement rc-518m remote control is stuck in TV mode how do I get back to a/v
It may be necessary to take the remote apart and clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol and a tissue on the board that is inside. If that doesn't fix it, a replacement is necessary at Ebay.com https://www.ebay.com/itm/394877786274?itmmeta=01HT47X6X7WE749Y2CMG3NX54S&hash=item5bf08cd8a2:g:7pQAAOSwn7BlAn8h&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4OMK5%2BdFWZwJQhIS5nEQ3eO7C2zq5QRICeu%2BbPKwqrfkc8con3byi0%2BbabcDYrBTOEyKclvkbzHrOJ1lVMfwduYTPcx0fAcW5XmaZ3ZRWS1%2FnVxMUIwno%2BPNUVuNqN%2FCSDJJ3gG2hQ%2BbGGyfUiO2ppgtjsvtiihnrClntKtSssM8RikHgpG8y9SjAz6z0V0GPkVJf6gypymGRdzz4HfuNn%2BkiMmAXp2NHVWpP6xfbghej%2B1MkOgqhJxV4V1B%2Bp8wVx%2BKV36M%2FVEdzoejZajCMt9ApRe1beW4a0rCXTdGZRuV%7Ctkp%3ABFBM2u70h9Fj
