SOURCE: no picture or sound, light comes on in the front and have to unplug tv to turn it off.

I had this exact problem on my Vizio 47" HDTV. I removed the speakers and all the screws on the back cover. Took the cover off and located the fuses on the largest circuit board. The are in the upper right hand corner of the board. There are 3 of them in a row labeled LF 1.5, LF 3.0 and LF 3.0. The are white in color with copper ends. I took a volt meter and measured continuity across all fuses individually and found the LF 1.5 to be blown. The guy at the electronics store sold me a barrel 1.5A fuse and told me to soldier it across the top of the blown fuse. It took an extra set of hands but the TV works perfectly.

For the cheap guy like me who will probably do more harm than good:
Also check for the F3 Fuse on that same main input board. It is located in the upper right corner. Hard wired fuses; very small. You will see F1-F4 (F4 is empty). You can solder a replacement fuse right over it. I would recommend piggybacking the fuse with a fuse you can replace. Will need the holder and a new fuse. 6 bucks.
Doesn't solve problem, but I can go another 2 1/2 years and the wife won't blame me for screwing up the TV in the first place.

Vizo sound bar 215 vth flashes standby but there's more. Can anyone help please?

There could be several reasons why your Vizio sound bar is flashing standby and powering down. Here are a few things you can try: Check the power supply: Make sure that the power supply is properly plugged in and that the outlet is functioning properly. You may also want to try plugging the sound bar into a different outlet to see if that resolves the issue. Check the remote control: Ensure that the batteries in your remote control are fresh and that it is working properly. Sometimes, a faulty remote control can cause issues with the sound bar. Reset the sound bar: Try resetting the sound bar to its factory settings. To do this, unplug the sound bar from the power source, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, then release the button and plug the sound bar back in. Check the connections: Make sure that all cables are properly connected to the sound bar and any other devices it may be connected to. If you are using HDMI cables, try using a different cable to see if that resolves the issue. If none of these steps work, it may be necessary to contact Vizio customer support for further assistance.

Why will my vizio E421VO not turn on?

Hi,

Please remove all extra devices (ie video game console, dvd platyer) and turn on your tv again. If not working, please attempt to change channels on your remote or remotes.

If still not working, please setup the tv like you did when you first bought it. Thank you.

Wanting to program my dish network remote to control my vizio sound bar. The dish remote is a 5.4 IR and I can't find vizio in my manual. Is there any way to do this?

I don't show we have any codes for the Vizio sound bar. Have you checked your Visio manual for the code; I know that Vizio TVs provide codes for different providers. If you still can't find a code, I have provided instructions on how you can perform a power scan for programming the remote.

Address To Other Equipment Using Power Scan
  • Remote: All Remotes (except Basic)
    1. With the desired equipment on, press and hold the correct Mode button until all mode button back lights illuminate, then release.
    2. Press and release the Power button. AUX Mode: Before pressing and releasing the Power button
      • Press 0 for a TV
      • Press 1 for a VCR/DVD
      • Press 2 for any other device
      Then Press STAR (*)
    3. Press the Up button once a second while pointing the remote at the desired equipment. Note: If the code for the equipment comes up, the equipment will power off.
    4. Press the POUND (#) button. Note: If the code entered is valid for the remote, the mode light flashes three times.

I Have a 5.3 IR Remote and a vizio VSB200 Sound Bar. The remote will not program to the Sound Bar. The Optical Audio is connected to the TV. What do I need to do.

lojr,

We have code to use with amplifiers, TVs, VCRs, and DVD players. I do not have a code that will work on this sound bar. What is the code you are trying to use? Did Vizio supply a code with your sound bar. They do have codes to use for their TVs to program DISH remotes. Please let me know if you have a code or you can contact Vizio to see if they have a code available.

I have provided the Power Scan instructions on programming the remote to a sound bar. Use the VCR button to attempt to program the sound bar.

If you have further questions, please post it here.
