I have new RCA model VHP141 Headphones but will

Visio might not have a headphone jacks at all! Look around your set and, probably you won't find jack marked as headphone. You might need to use wireless headphones, what have an rca plugs and connect them to audio monitor out on your tv set.
Good luck!

I have vizio sv470m and all of the 4 hdmi plugs stopped working one at a time.

Power doesn't have to be knocked out for a cable box to destroy the HDMI ports on a TV. Thunder miles away will put voltage spikes on the cable system which in turn trashes the main board in the TV. You can get parts for your TV here: TV Parts Universal TV Stands DLP Chips ShopJimmy

We had a lightning storm last night. The tv was

Sadly, only testing of each component can suggest the extent of damage. Many years ago, lighting can in through the window of my living room, hit the TV, blew the knobs off the TV (that date's me), shot into the kitchen and shattered the kitchen counter top. What I want you to take from that is that the course of a power surge is a bit unpredictable. No one can guess how far it got until you find a lamp that works.

I have a Visio 47

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. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board.

Vizio e472vle will not power on

Are you currently able to push the Device Selector Slider all the way to the right, into the TV position, and Press Power, to turn the TV On or Off? If not, go back to the first 2 or 3 Codes in your list (or the one the Installer selected, if he wrote it down) and see if you get AT LEAST that functionality out of the DTV Remote. One of the Codes will usually do that much, if you can get it to control volume, but not ALL of them: volume control, like many functions, may remain the same through several changes in Remotes, for many manufacturers. Don't forget to push the Slider back over to the standard DTV position, after you turn on the TV, or you'll change channels on the Vizio, and then you'll have to reselect DirecTV as your Input Source. :-)As to finding the best possible Remote Code, for whatever reason, DTV's Online Remote Code Lookup Tool, and the Built-in Code Lookup often list Codes not found in the other. On top of that, If you call DTV Customer Service, after you've exhausted these other sources, and armed with your list of previously tried Codes and their results, in my experience, they often have 1 or 2 Codes I haven't come across, which will sometimes work. I know this is kind of frustrating process, but hopefully it will be worth it. And being able to Power your TV via the Slide Selector is a decent fallback, even if you can't get it to work from the On/Off keys. I hope that helps.

Tv will not turn on

Probably bad capacitors in the power supply. Look for the top being domed up or pregnant. Common problem.

Black screen with sound

My 47" LCD Smart T.V. was working fine last night. I got up this morning and I have sound but no picture. The VIZIO icon lights up as usual but I get no picture, only sound. From the time I turned it on, nothing appeared on the screen. I have already tried unplugging it for a while and still nothing.

Vizio tv prolems. TV comes on normal for about 10 seconds (bright w/ colors) then picture dims with a hissing sound from the electronics. Anyone has an idea of a repair video to watch.

The hissing sound is over current from a shorted component. you best bet is to call around and see if anyone can repair it. Ask price first because you might be better off just buying a new one.
