vizio m502i-b1 lcd panel failure factory

postal1in, it is pretty impossible to find replacement displays. If you do find them then the part and shipping are most often more than a replacement TV would be. You can try an look it up by the number on the LCD itself and see if there is anyone selling those. I would suggest that you try and find the same model TV that has other issues and switch the display.

Newer VIZIO TV"s that have a white LED power indicator light are designed so that the indicator light fades out when the TV powers on. If the light doesn"t fade off and just turns off then there is a problem with your TV. To check on eligibility for warranty and request service

If your Vizio TV won’t turn on you need to reset it. Unplug your TV from the wall and wait a full 60 seconds. After the 60 seconds are up, plug your Vizio TV back in. This will soft reset your TV and it should power back on no problem!

While the TV is unplugged, find and hold the power button on your Vizio TV for 30 seconds. Make sure you are holding the power button on your TV, and not your remote! (The power button location will likely be on the back right side the TV).

While this fix should work for about 80% of cases, the remaining 20% can be a bit trickier. If you’re still having trouble getting your Vizio TV to turn back on try the fixes detailed below.

If either of the two steps above fix your Vizio TV power problem but then a few days or weeks later you run into the same issue, you’ll want to try factory resetting your TV for a more permanent solution.

Then find “Reset & Admin” and “Reset TV to Factory Defaults”. Sometimes the Vizio TV will ask for a code before resetting the TV.If it does the default code is four zeros, 0000.

Your Vizio TV might appear to not turn on because of an incorrect input source. You have to choose the proper input source for your TV to work correctly.

While unlikely the cause, if you’re still having no luck up until this point then I would try plugging your Vizio TV into a different power outlet in your home.

If nothing has worked to this point but you really want to keep your Vizio TV, you can try removing the TV’s power supply and sending it in for repair.

Vizio TVs are some what known for faulty/weak power supplies but the good news is they only cost about ~65 bucks or so to repair (if you’re willing to do the work of removing it from the TV yourself).

After you describe what the issue is and Vizio makes their determination of whether or not it is covered under warranty, they will either repair or replace your TV.

My vizio tv worked fine last night and try turning it on this morning and can’t get it to power up? I tried disconnecting all wires and still nothing? TV is a little over a year old.

Ok, had a power outage. TV had no juice for hours after power came back. Left it unplugged, tried it tonight after 24 hours and the Vizio logo lights up showing it has power but doesn’t turn on. I cycled the power but nothing. What could this be? Power received but not turning on?

My Vizio tv stopped turning on unless it was off for at least one hour. It would just try for a second and cut off, sometimes not even showing the Vizio sign. That was a two day window. Now, it just flat out doesn’t work. Of course, I purchased it at the end of 2014, which puts it barely outside of the one year warranty range. Unless they fix it free of charge, I’m starting/joining a social media campaign to make people aware they should boycott Vizio. I’m furious.

I’m also having this problem now. Vizio ESeries 5034, 13 months old. Noticed a few weeks ago where it would take 2 or 3 tries to turn TV on. It has slowly gotten worse, now it’s really hard to turn it on. I read somewhere that this might be caused by defective capacitors on main board. I have 0 experience with this kind of stuff, but since a repair costs $300 in my area I might try to change the capacitors myself, repair is pretty much the price of a new TV

I purchased this tv because it and Vizio had a good review and the picture was great and it had a lot of desirable features. Less than two years later, and thankfully was still under warranty, the tv died. They said it was the power supply and apparently this is a know issue. Vizio customer support was great and since it was still under warranty, they sent us a refurbished model of the same tv. I wouyld have preferred a new set since that is what I paid for but, I felt it was still better than no tv. Less than six months later guess what? Yes, that tv died. Now they are sending a lesser refurbished model. Again, better than nothing, but I will never buy another Vizio based on being so unreliable. Two years, two tvs fried. I expect this replacement will only last a matter of months

My Vizio does the same thing.. Complete piece of crap. If the tv is left plugged in after watching it that night before, it often won’t turn back on the next day.. The power light lights up, but no picture is illuminated.

If we unplug the tv the night after we watch it and then plug it in right before we watch it the next day, then there are no issues and it works fine. Of course, this happens about 15mths outside of the warranty. Luckily, I purchased the tv with my Amex, so they refunded me for the $330 estimated repair, but I now don’t have any faith in Vizio’s products. Terrible company with a sh*t product.

I have a Vizio 42″ E422VA over a yr old so out of warranty. 3 mo ago the HDMI ports started Not working, now the TV does Not turn on. I opened the TV short circuited the fuse and still not working. PLEASE BOICOT VIZIO THEY SELL TRASH TV’s!!

Yep, we had various minor problems with tv from day 1 but would call Vizio and get some minor help for a while. We bought our tv from Costco so 2 yr. manufacturing Warranty but never thought to call Costco Conciege always went through Vizio they don’t know 1/2 of what they should for their tech. support. When we just passed the 2 yr. mark the problems magnified by quadruple and we kept thinking “oh, the next firmware update will resolve all isues”, and sometimes it helped a little sometimes not. Luckily we paid for extended Squaretrade Warranty and now working on getting a repair but have so many issues don’t think 1 repair item will resolve all so hoping that they will have to replace it…
