Vizio 42 inch remote is dead. Except volume up /

I have a similar issue with my 10 year Vizio 42", it is the infrared receiver in the TV that is the problem (tried other remotes).

remote has nothing to do with it you need to replace your power supply and mainboard buy [email protected]

I have the exact same problem. Let me know if you find a [email protected]

please follow the steps below with you sky remote:

TV
RED + SELECT (hold these down until it flashes twice)
TV
0056

Try the volume button if this works then press SELECT. If it does not work then press TV again then try the volume ( repeat this step until the volume works. Dont forget to press the SELECT button to save the code to the remote.

This should sort you out. Please leave a thumbs up when you get it working.

my vizio 42 inch plasma want show a picture. i turn it on i can hear the volume but no pictures, whats the problem

Hi, I had the same problem. My vizio remote for my 42 inch 2 month old vizio also seemed to stop working. Here's what I did: My vizio remote (like most remote's nowadays) was designed for multiple components (tv, dvd, vcr, etc). All you need to do to make the remote work again is set it back to tv. Now, the confusing thing about vizio remotes is that they actually have TWO places where you can switch the remote to the appliance you want to control. One is on top of the remote, the other is on the BOTTOM. Switch it back to TV using the BOTTOM. My remote had stopped working because I had inadvently switched it to another component on the BOTTOM component switch.

Hi Re Easytouch 42" HD TV - look for Hisense - I took a guess and LCD3204 EU code 376 - remote works but buttons don't tally up - getting there slowly!

Just bought a madeforyou 4:1 remote that is programmed on my PC.

Ok - not proper solution yet but nearly there!

I have a 37 inch vizio and had the same problem. After a little web research, I came across a suggestion that the LG codes might work. I tried it and found that the code 19 worked. You might try that. If 19 doesn't work for you, one of the other LG codes might (they are 06, 21, 22, 23 or 78).

I contacted Vizio the other day. They tell me that they use the same generic codes as LG. I have Suddenlink Cable, formerly Charter, so I still use the Charter remote. My remote only needed 3 digits and I have noticed that many need 4 or 5. I can tell you that the LG code worked for my tv. I can power on/off, volume, and change the channel. All other functions require the manufacture's remote. The code I used is 005. There was also 004 but that did not work on my tv. Hope this helps someone!

ok please open the remote then clean it with pencil eraser.
