Vizio Tv that will not turn off

To program a Vizio TV with the Greenbrier International 110064 Universal 6 In 1 Remote, you can follow these steps:

1. Turn on your Vizio TV.
2. Press and hold the "Code" button on the remote until the LED light stays on.
3. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the code "11864" for Vizio TVs.
4. Press the "Power" button on the remote to see if the TV turns off. If it does, press the "Enter" button to save the code. If it doesn't, repeat step 3 with a different code from the list below until you find one that works.

Other possible Vizio TV codes for the Greenbrier International 110064 Universal 6 In 1 Remote include:

• 11758
• 11756
• 11742
• 11740
• 11738
• 11687
• 11670
• 11587
• 11365
• 11136

Note: If you can't find a code that works for your Vizio TV, you can try the auto-search function on the remote. To do this, follow steps 1 and 2 above, then press the "Power" button repeatedly while pointing the remote at the TV until the TV turns off. Once it does, press the "Enter" button to save the code.

If only one button does not work at all or all do not work the unit may have a lock out feature that would be explained in the owners manual.

The instructions on letting the Hipi remote to seach for the code that came with my remote are not correct. I used the instructions from HOWTO.COM and printed below. There are two changes from the printed instructions. The first is to push the <TV> button after the <Code Search> button. The second is that the <Enter> button saved the code not the <MUTE> button.

Instructions
1
Turn on the Vizio TV.
2
Aim the Jumbo Universal Remote at the Vizio TV and hold down the "Code Search" button on the remove for roughly 3 to 5 seconds. The LED lights on the Jumbo Universal Remote will come on.
3
Press the "TV" button at the top of the Jumbo Universal Remote.
4
Start pressing the "ON/OFF" button repeatedly until the Vizio TV turns off. (This took only a few tries for my Vizio TV)
5
Press "Enter" on the remote immediately after the Vizio TV turns off to save the code.
6
Test the Jumbo Universal Remote by trying to control the Vizio TV with the remote. If the control doesn't work with the remote, repeat the entire process.

Newer brands of tvs are using new codes that old remotes don't have. Only older learing remotes from original remotes or USB upgradable or newer one that were made after the tv was made will work.

I had the same problem with my 37L and 42L Vizio TVs but my 26w vizio TV guide works perfectly. on 12/28/2009 I called vizio about the problem and they said that Vizio lost a law suit with a company (tech didn't tell me the company name) that said that Vizio did not own the "TVGUIDE" technology b/c the other company invented it first. So, Vizio was forced to turn this feature off in their new TV's so that's why my guide button with older Vizio 26" TV (bought in 2007) works and my newer 37" and 42" Vizio TV's (Bought in 2008) do not even though the instructions are still in their user manuals which the tech said will be removed in future user manuals.

why should i tell you (fixYa) how i fixed the problem for free? You wanted to charge me for your info so i think it's only fair that i charge you for mines. I did figure out and solved the problem.

there a problem on power side.. chage the ic and the resistor going to ic and check also the signal diode.

Unplug set and hold and press the power button for about a minute. Replug set and turn it on. If nada, then the issue is with the power supply of the set. Given its age and the high cost of repairs it might be more cost effective to get a new set.
