I have a Visio 47 in LCD HDTV Model GV471 FHD that just went dark in the middle of a show we were watching. The remote has no control but does light up all buttons then goes off with no function. I unplugged it then plugges it in and the orange visio logo was on. When I pushed the power button the visio turns white but the entire row of function buttons lights orange and won't go out. No picture no Sound no Nothing. I then have to unplug to turn off. I could use any insights.

If it were a Tivo series 3 you might have better luck with it.

I've had my series 2 Tivo for about 2 1/2 years and never found the correct codes for it. I think it works off of a list of TVs manufactures about 3 years ago.

SOURCE: How to clean the screen of our 42

Vizio TVs come with a cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. If you don't have that anymore, any lint-free cloth should do. If any smears are stubborn, dampen the cloth, then wipe clean.

Never use household cleaning solutions on your screen. Some chemicals can damage plastic.

This is the second time I have seen this problem this week. Seems like a common issue on Vizio LCDs. Anyways the problem you mentioned indicates that the tv-micro IC has failed. THis is located on the main audo/video board and a component level repair is not possible in this case. The main A/V board has to be replaced and it should cost you around 100-125$. Would you like to do it yourself?
