If your Vizio TV has seemingly displayed the black screen of death for no apparent reason, there"s a potential shining light in that dark, dark screen. Here are a few ways to fix the Vizio TV black screen of death.

If the problem you"re experiencing is a black screen because you can"t access a streaming service or internet app, it"s possible you just need to troubleshoot your Vizio TV"s Wi-Fi connection.

While these parts may sound complicated, they"re actually relatively easy to fix. Before you rush out to purchase the necessary parts, you should find out what the problem is.

There are different issues that may affect your television. You should narrow down the problem before you attempt any repair. Start with a sound test.

If you have sound but no image, the component that produces lighting for the television is likely the issue. You can narrow this down even more by using the "flashlight" test. You need to literally shine some light on the issue.

Replacing the power board can be complicated; both the method you use and the model number of the board will vary from television to television. However, it"s still a fix that anyone can do at home with minimal experience.

If the inverter board or another critical component has gone out, it will need to be replaced in a similar fashion to the power board. However, if you don"t feel confident in your ability to repair the television without causing further damage, hire a repair technician to handle it. If your TV is still covered by the terms of the Vizio product warranty, reach out to Vizio Technical Support.

Try a sound test, a flashlight test, or a power and connections test first to assess the problem. If you think you need to repair a component you can attempt to source a part and install it yourself, or contact a repair technician.

Some common issues that users have encountered with their Vizio TV include a blinking screen and not downloading apps. A blinking display could be caused by a bad cable or loose connection, and if apps won"t download, the first thing to try is power cycling the TV.

Enjoy greater clarity and color quality with a new Vizio 39-inch LED television. The TVs offer a ton of useful features and are available in large quantities on eBay.Which different models of Vizio 39-inch TVs are available?

There is an impressive number of Vizio 39 models available on eBay. All of the models in this listing offer a spacious screen real estate of 39 inches, which means every model listed falls under the "Vizio 39D-" product line. There are some slight differences between each model, however. Differences lie in each model"s resolution, refresh rate, streaming capabilities, and screen quality. Below are some of the more prominent models and their associated specs:Vizio D39HN-E0: 720p, 60 Hz, Wi-Fi functions, LCD screen

Vizio has included a number of different features with these TVs. Every TV available, regardless of model, features a silky smooth 60 Hz refresh rate and Wi-Fi connectivity features. Premium models even offer cinema-quality refresh rates of 120 Hz. They also offer a bevy of connectivity ports"each TV guarantees two HDMI ports and at least one of all other standard input methods, like component and composite cables. D39HN models will also include digital audio optical outputs for enhanced audio reception and studio-quality sound signatures. In short, these TVs will give you a theater-like experience in the comfort of your home. The Smart TV functionality included with many options allow you to stream HD video from online services directly to your TV, without the need for external hardware or video game systems.Can you mount these TVs to a wall?

Yes. Regardless of model or size, every Vizio TV available in these listings has a removable base and installation area on the back. Vizio has explicitly designed the mount on the back of the hardware to be compatible with every universal mounting system available. This feature makes the process as simple as possible. The TVs are also compatible with mounting systems that offer rotation and different viewing angles, which means they can be customized for a variety of different room layouts and sizes.

VIZIO’s Full-Array LED backlight technology delivers brilliant picture quality as it distributes LEDs across the entire screen for superior light uniformity and picture performance.

The all-new 2014 E-Series design introduces a side profile that’s up to 30% thinner, an ultra-narrow 10mm frame, and a new space-saving slimmer base. The new design puts the focus right where it should be—on the screen—and is the perfect upgrade to any room.

HDTVs have really become affordable over time and gained many new features too, which can often lead to some degree of technical problems later on. Most consumers can get an incredibly large, 4K Smart TV for under $1000, but less expensive models mean lesser quality components and more troubleshooting.

On a value-per-dollar basis, Vizio ranks at the top, delivering a satisfying mix of quality and cost. In addition to featuring great visual screens, their HDTVs include some of the best software you can get. However, they too have some problems from time to time.

Smart TVs have been popular for years, and in that time, the software from all brands has gone from sluggish and confusing to sleek and speedy. Of course, no Smart TV has perfect software, and as much as Vizio’s features stand out, they aren’t perfect either. Their HDTVs can occasionally run into issues too, including but not limited to the following:

A soft reset clears the memory, allows any residual charge to dissipate, and restarts the device, all of which can easily fix a large percentage of the device’s problems. That’s why the process becomes the first suggestion that any technical support person gives. Performing a soft reset is easy.All you need to do is switch the device off and keep it that way for a few seconds.

A hard reset is more serious. Not only does it do everything a soft reset does, but it will also reset the firmware or configuration of the device to their factory defaults, clear the memory, and reset the device entirely. A hard reset is basically the same as going back in time to when you first took the Vizio Smart TV out of the box.

A hard reset of a Vizio Smart TV will wipe all configurations and settings. It will remove all account details for any smart apps, reset network data, and trigger a firmware update if one is available. You should always do a soft reset first to see if that resolves the issues you are having with your TV.

The above method should work on most of the recent Vizio Smart TVs. If you’ve lost or damaged the original remote, you may be able to use an RCA universal remote to reset your TV too.

Regardless, the Vizio Smart TV reset options mentioned here should “refresh” your model without trouble, whether they fix the problem or not. Bear in mind that the processes don’t work on all Vizio HDTVs, but they usually function with newer models. Some older Vizio TVs don’t have an actual reset option listed in the menu directly, but the choice is still there under a certain category or wording.

Furthermore, older Vizio TVs have other buttons on the front panel so read the manual for more information on resetting to factory defaults. Lastly, if you have issues such as when your Vizio TV won’t turn on, it doesn’t mean the Smart TV is broken. Therefore, there is no need to panic just yet! Try some of the above steps and see if you can get things back up and running!

The LED backlighting is the reason for a decent picture quality on the E370. You are not getting a 1080p resolution image, but that"s okay. A 37 inch screen is not big enough to make a big difference between 720p and 1080p. If you want this to be a computer monitor, that"s where you will see a loss in performance due to the 720p resolution. The 60Hz refresh rate is another thing not to worry about. Once again, motion blur is going to be hard to spot on a TV of this size. This TV has a dynamic contrast ratio of 200,000:1 and 16.7 million colors to make for great picture reproduction. Vizio shedded the local dimming feature on this model of the E-series.

The E370 loses the Razor LED design that many of the E series uses. This means there is a little more depth to the TV than the others. This one clocks in at around 3 1/2" while the Razor design is less than 2". This may make the E370 less suitable for wall mounting. As you can see the bezels are still less than an inch, and that makes for a great look. It"s got the standard square black glossy stand.

For $318 the E370-A0 offer a lot of screen for the price. There aren"t many TVs of this size with 720p so the competition is not as tough. Toshiba"s 39L1350 comes close but has a little better feature set. That one sells for $399. This makes it one of the best 37 inch budget TVs on the market.

I now have the solution to the problem in my question, if not the actual “why” part. See the same-day response I received from Vizio support. I admit I would never have related this problem to the network! I had recently removed the ethernet line from the TV and switched it to wireless. All I did was disconnect from the network altogether and then reconnect to the wireless.

If the TV is working correctly when not connected to a network, there may have been a device that was connected to the network with Network Sharing that was attempting to view the files in the TV memory. This can cause the TV to freeze.

If these steps not not resolve the issue, or you don"t have the TV connected to the internet.  We do not have the schematics to properly determine the issue.  We would suggest contacting a technician to inspect the TV to diagnose the issue and what parts would be needed.

(Signature) One of the first and least expensive things you can do when you have an issue is take the powerboard out of the tv, flip it over and look the solder joints over with a magnifying glass if needed, add a little flux to make the solder flow well and add solder to any joints that look even a little suspect. You can practice on a scrap pcb board if needed, careful not to bridge any joints, and always let the board sit for quite a while or discharge the big caps with an appropriate resister before working on it (safety first) to try to keep from getting shocked, it doesn"t take 1000 volts to KILL, a lot less can kill, so be careful, it"s only a tv. THANKS FOR THE NO TIP POLICY....WELL NO TIP NO WORK.
