why do you need one?

Fault with the main power supply regulator board. Check and replace damaged component/s at its main power regulator [SMPS] section circuit. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ It will be best to replace the power supply regulator board as card basis rather than making "Surgery" to it; which usually will make loss for both money and time. Even though you can make it right, it will cost around an amount equal to the cost of a new board; including the cost of (spare parts + service charge) More to say, most of the spare parts to it will be difficult to get from open electronic spare part market. This is true to most of the flat panel TV power supply boards; irrespective of its brand and screen size.

Just go to www.vizio.com. On the choices at the top pick "register". It's that easy. I just did it.

This could be a capacitor fault, or a surge might have taken out a transistor or several, or the EEprom may be scrambled because of electrical discharges. Google "Capacitor bulge" and then search Youtube for your make and model to see if anyone has done an instructional video. You'll need to be comfortable dismantling the TV and be able to use a soldering iron. If this isn't you then take it to a repair shop. Silicon issues are harder to diagnose without either seeing something that's obviously blown, or fault-finding on a board down to component level using an oscilloscope. But that's an incredibly tedious and time consuming. It's not something I'd recommend for a novice.

Two possible areas: batteries have become too weak to transmit if signal or Vizio remote needs to be synchronize with tv. I assume it was working. Try pressing button marked 'tv' close to bottom of keypad and then try on/off. A few remotes have a reset hole takes a paper clip, I do not believe your model is one. You should be able to test your remote with a cell phone or digital camera. Using camera on your phone, aim remote at camera as if cell phone was tv. Press on off key ( vol, channel up/down ) and if you see red light when remote buttons are pushed...remote is transmitting. If nothing...make sure you remote is not enough radio frequency or RF.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Short circuited component/s at its main board. Contact any service technician. This is not a user repairable fault. Gopakumar Gopalan Google

Ok..........un plug the set and your cable or sat reciever.........plug back in to reboot both........be sure your set up shows captions and text "off"
Next step if this does not solve is to play a dvd and see if ok. this will separate the tv from your cable or sat reciever. If still continues your set may have corrupted data in the eeprom and need main board. Try the ez stuff first!!
