I have the rc-681m remote control and I have tried the codes for my tv from the manual but they do not work. Are there any other codes I can try or is it a lost cause?
In my Vizio manual it says to try 1758 or 0178. I tried both and the 0178 worked for my rc-681m remote

I turn the tv on.....I get a blue screen that says "no signal" and then 5 seconds later the TV turns off. Pressing the menu or input button does nothing.
I fear it could be the main board. What are your suggestions?
Just hold down the input button on the right side of the tv. This is the bottom one. So,
With the tv off,
press and hold the bottom button (input)
when the tv turns on, and you see the input menu
release and press the button to put the tv into a mode that works!
Thanks

Hi, I am swapping a smashed LCD with another one I bought locally as a non-working tv with a good LCD. I have removed all the screws but I can't seem to take the back panel off to get inside the TV! Any help or tips on how to remove the back off of a Vizio GV42L LCD TV?
Thanks!

remove all the screws and start at the bottom and push in the tabs, and work around the edges, being careful not to pry too hard, the cover has clips all around the tv. after the bottom is free and one of the corners the cover will kind of pop off if you use the palm of your hand and lightly tap as you apply sum upward pressure.

MY BROTHER THREW A WII REMOTE AT OUR LCD TV WHILE BOWLING AND CRACKED THE SCREEN. CAN THIS BE REPLACE/REPAIREDD? IF SO, HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST US? ALSO, DO YOU KNOW OR HAVE YOU HEARD IF THE PANEL REPLACEMENT PRICES WILL GO DOWN ANY TIME SOON. WE WOULD LIKE TO REPAIR IT BUT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RIGHT NOW DUE TO THE COST.
YOUR THOUGHTS?
Try to find new screen on amazon here Amazon com vizio 42 screen replacement. Hope this was helpful. cheers

I was watching y Vizio L37 when the sound went out. I thought it might be because the home theater surround sound system had a problem but I can not even get sound through the TV when I disconnect the surround sound system.
I was watching tv, the picture blacked out and came back as white snow.
The picture came back, but no sound.
I had the same thing just happen and I used the following instructions from the Vizio Website for "humming sound" on tv and it worked. My sound is now working!!!!
1- Power off TV
2- Unplug TV from outlet
3- Press and hold in the power button on the TV for 30 seconds (while it is unplugged from the wall)
4- Release the power button
5- Plug in the TV into a different outlet
6- Power the TV back on.
Reset the TV settings.

vizio television screen flickers like a strobe light
lcd sets use florescent tubes to light the display and, a ballast to power the tubes just like the lights in an office ceiling.
the tubes are called cold cathodes and, the ballasts are called inverter boards. replace your inverter circuit board it connects by wires to the cold cathodes so; isn't hard to find.

how do you set our vizio to 1080p it is currently set at 480p
You really don't think you set the TV for this, if the TV supports 1080p and the device was 1080 capabilities then the TV will recognize this. If you using a cable box make sure your using the HDMI port on the cable box. I have seen in the past cable companies just using the component ports.

only get black and white picture using vcr/dvd why picture
Hi There,
The most likely reason for this is that your connections between the DVD player are incorrect. This usually happens when a Composite cable is connected to one the Component input sockets on the back of the TV.
If you are are using a composite cable (red, white, yellow plugs), please make sure the yellow plug is not connected to a socket labelled Y, Pb/Cb, or Pr/Cr on the back of the TV or the DVD/VCR. The yellow plug needs to be connected to a VIDEO OUT socket on the back of the DVD/VCR and a VIDEO IN socket on the back of the TV.
Do not use sockets labelled Y, Pb/Cb, or Pr/Cr on either of them.
If you are unable to determine which sockets to use, please let me know the brand and model number of your VCR/DVD and confirm the model number of your TV is GV42L. I will then be able to draw you a diagram showing the correct connections to use.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
BElectric
