To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset.

Checking the input is a good idea. This is going to be the button on your remote labeled INPUT or SORCE. The fact that you have the Vizio logo coming up says your screen is good. The other thing I would check are you connections by replacing cables with know working ones.

Try the old electronic trick of switching all OFF and removing the plugs to TV and cable box for five minutes then reconnect. I have found in the past this works !

Rick Do you have other devices connected to your t? Such as a router, a decoder or an apple tv? If you have, restart them and change the batteries in the remote. You may think that is a silly suggestion, but changing batteries in remotes has helped me more than once. Oh and do not forget to check all cables and connections as well as the power. This method does not always work the first time, in my experience it works. Patience and coffee. kolbrun

If you are pulling channels out of your cable box. Reset your cable box or replace it. Good Luck!

That capacitor could possibly be the cause. On some sets, the 12V supplies both the video and audio circuits. I would recommend replacing the cap and checking power supply outputs especially the 12vdc supply.

This is either due to some incompatibility or change of format of picture. Also the color system should be same like PAL/SECAM etc.

Sorry to hear what your going through the issue is with your main board ,there is no troubleshooting for This issue , you would have to take it into a electronic shop for repairs sorry

Just press the CC button on the remote. Some TV stations may not send out CC data. Pressing the CC button many times will cycle thru all the options including OFF.

Take a bright flashlight and place it on the screen. Around the edged of the flashlight see if you can see an image moving around on a good channel. If so you need an inverter/lamp repair/replacement.

inform the cable operater

It may either be your remote sensor on the front of the TV (http://cgi.ebay.com/VIZIO-VA19LHDTV10T-IR-REMOTE-SENSOR-715T3347-/170472611897?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b0f5a039)

You can test this by manually switching on the power vs using the remote.
Or it is this part that failed.

Replacement is pretty straightforward for the power supply, but the eye will require some soldering skills.

Call Vizio for a warrenty repair.Ur DVD Combo,the laser eye is dirty,must take the tv aparts and clean it.But it under warrenty,take ur warrenty from Vizio let them take it aparts,can clean it for u.

Look for 'Aspect' button on the remote control.

I would check the internal fuse first.
