Vizio Model L37 no more DTV

Vizio Model L37HDTV10A
The DTV screen will not work. The other screens work; AV1, AV2, AV3, TV, HDMI, etc. I called the Tech people at Vizio and went through several possible fixes but none worked. Let me explains what happens. The DTV screen comes up but remains blue. It should switch to a station or go black with the "no signal" sign floating around the screen. When I go to the menu I can access all the except for the little TV. The little menu TV sets up all the tuner functions. This TV runs off the Airwaves and I have no problem pulling in the digital channels through a DVR that records discs. So I know it is not the antenna. It started to do this gradually when the set was turned on. I use to fix it by turning the set on and off until it worked. But it does not work any more. It seems like a solenoid switch on a relay that would fail occasionally before it finally fails for good. Any suggestions on what to replace or what to do would be appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem. bought this TV at sam's it was a return so I got a good deal. Had a great picture on HD but today it will not work any more,every other input works except RF HD INPUT, turning it on and off will not correct it any more. I guess I can see if a schematic is available to troubleshoot it or get a box with hdmi output and use that. I have satellite but no hd box. If I get a fix, I will post it here for you.

    Good Luck

    I was looking for a solution to the same problem when I found this post. I'm having the exact same issue with my Vizio L37, and like you, turning it on and off a few times used to fix the problem. All other tuners work fine, and like your tv, as soon as I select tuner in the DTV menu, the menu disappears, and I'm back to a blue screed with no menu access. I've seached for a schematic and come up empty. I called the support hotline, and they passed me on to another hotline since I'm out of warranty. If I get anything of use out of them, I'll come back and post.

Follow up on No DTV tuner after unplugging it a month for vacation. After I let it set plugged in for about 2-3 days it started working normally again and has been fine ever since. I hope this may help someone else. Genez 6-7-09

SOURCE: what is DTV??

HELLO
Basically DTV means Digital TeleVision. You select this to get your viewing through your aerial (Freeview) providing you have it tuned in of course. That's all it means.

SOURCE: How do I switch to

Hi,

All you need to do is press the TV/VIDEO button in the top left corner of your remote. Each time you press, it will cycle through the connected external inputs, e.g. AV1, AV2, etc.

Hope this helps.

I think you can do channel down, or up, 'til you go below channel 2, or above channel 125. Then it toggles through external inputs.

My plasma LG TV has a black display box in the top left corner of screen. No words or text in it, just a black box covering that coirner of picture...how do I get rid of it?

There should be a button on your TV remote that will be called "Display" or "P in P".
The display button usually displays which input you have selected, such as: SAT for Satellite; AV1, AV2, AV3 or AV4 - depending on how many inputs your TV has, to plug in devices like a VCR or DVD recorder/player.
Otherwise, if you have a more sophisticated TV, it could be that you have accidentally pressed the "P in P" button, that selects the Picture in Picture mode. If you have done this, your TV will display the main picture of the input you have selected, plus another input, (such as SAT or AV1 or AV2 etc. as I've mentioned above). If the AV1 or AV2, etc. input is not active (not switched on) then that input will only display a blank (black) picture in the top left corner of the screen.
Hope this helps...

Vizio L37

Sounds like a bad av connection on the main board. i would try to connect the xbox via an alternate av connection or hdmi to verify problem. contact vizio support and describe your problem. they have had trouble with this main board. some of their parts have lifetime warranties and the service call is free. changing out the main board is a pretty simple process, about an hour or less. hope this helps.
