1. make sure you have power
a. connect a working device such as a clock, radio, or lamp to the wall receptacle to verify power works at receptacle
b. confirm power cord is firmly inserted into receptacle and to the tv.
c. some appliances have a main power switch in addition to an on/off switch. confirm that if this is the case and make sure the main switch is set to on if applicable.
d. check tv to be sure it is powering on. you should see a power indicator illuminate or you may see the screen illuminate and perhaps display a logo screen when it is turned on. If the set is on, operating volume and channel or other functions should display something on the screen.
2. Make sure a working device is connected to your TV and is powered on.
a.. if the set is powered on, a source must be connected to the set in order to view a picture and hear sound. you should see connectors on the back of the set for various devices and connections. If you have an antenna, connect it to the antennae connector terminal. you will need to acces the settings to do a channel scan or set up to see any channels you might receive.
b..you may have a dvd player or set top box for satellite or cable or an internet streaming device such as a roku to connect. connect the device using the appropriate connectors and cables. once the output of the device is connected to an input on the set, select the input the device is connected to on the set from the tv remote or the side panel buttons and power on the device. hopefully you will see a screen displayed on your tv. if your audio is connected, you should be able to play a video and hear sound. just check all connections to be sure your output connections on your connected devices are attached to the appropriate inputs on your set with the appropriate cables. you may need hdmi, s-video, optical, rca or other cables depending on the device connections and your set connections.
c. if you still can not get a picture or sound, try your device with another set and try other devices on your set such as another dvd player or a camera.
hope this helps.

Today my 55" vizio screen popped and then turned red. I unpluged and restarted everything and now the audio is on, the chanels change, but the screen is completely read. some images are readable.
If this is a VO47LFHDTV20A TV set, the problem is most likely your LVDS(cable from the main board to the t-con)cable is faulty. When you turn the set on, do you have a red screen instead of the standard blue screen? Do you also have red tints on all images on all inputs? If this is the case, your LVDS cable is bad. If you are comfortable opening up your set, track down where the LVDS cable goes into the t-con board. Turn on the set, and wiggle the cable, if the red tinting goes away, you will need a LVDS cable, about $24 part.
Vizio M421vt no picture
If audio is OK, the fault should be with its backplight inverter baord. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Viewing it in "

Need the code for the charter remote
For example, to search for a code for your TV:
- Turn on your TV.
- On the remote control, press TV once; it blinks once. Then press and hold SET UP until the TV key blinks twice.
- Enter 9 9 1. The TV key blinks twice.
- Press 1 (the device code digit for your TV). The TV key blinks twice. Aim the remote control at the TV and press POWER once.
- Press and release the CH+ key continuously, then stop when the TV turns off.
NOTE: In the searchmode, the remote control sends IR codes fromits library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.
- Press POWER. The TVshould turn on, then press SET UP to lock in the code.
NOTE:
If the TV does not turn on during step 6, then slowly press and release CH- to go back through the codes, then press SET UP when the TV turns on.
Vizio VO47L FHDTV10A black screen no light
If your LCD TV or monitor has stopped working, or is displaying one of the following symptoms, then it's a candidate for some new capacitors
- Flickering screen
- Screen image disappears after several seconds
- Dim screen
- Slow start
- Power LED on, but no picture
- Unusual colors and/or lines
The primary cause of LCD TV and monitor failure is caused by faulty capacitors. You can examine the capacitors in your LCD TV or monitor and actually see if they are bad.
If they appear bulged on top, then they need to be replaced.
New capacitors will solve a host of problems in LCD monitors and TV's and will extend the life of your monitor or TV by several years.

Vizio Universal Remotes
One thing I learned about universal remotes . They do not support all models. Vizio was a walmart brand (correct me if I am wrong) that was just a tv made by sony under a diffrent name. try the sony codes.I had a weird tv plasma the name escapes me but it was clearly not a common name and no remote would work with it even in the search mode. one day we where playing with a viewsat (one of thous free to air remotes) and we where able to successfully scan and make work the tv with it. we tried all types of remotes! in fact at one point we bought a logitech (expensive ) you literly are controled by that company you have to have a account and a internet connection and they want all this personal info just so you can program Your (although would argue like micro$oft that you just had a licence to use meaning you didn\'t own) just to use the tv it was junk $170 back then. So think Viewsat , or some sort of free2air box remote. for Legal satellite viewing (yes you can actually get 100 of free channels legally with a bigger dish like history, and more free) the remotes have extra features like universal remote and since some of these companies have a tarnished reputation for being dirty they seem to have more support then a average universal remote.
