How do I fix a vizio e320vp tv that turns on and then back off after about 20 seconds
This TV had been working fine, until is set up a LG tv near it. Planned to move vizio to different room, noticed LG remote was changing Vizio settings. When I relocated Vizio, it would not come on. Pushing power on, would light indicator on front, screen lights with vizio logo,in 10-20sec. goes black and power indicator goes out. Same as being shut off. Read in a manual, this may happen if looking for computer input. I connected lap top to vga connector, but same result. On, logo screen, back off. Did something break inside? Is there a part that needs replaced?

Fault to its main board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here.

If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

Back - light problem. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement.
If I have trouble with a brand new TV I always take it back and am sure to get another brand entirely. Personally I've had good luck with LG, SEIKI, and Samsung.
If you're trying to display output from the laptop to the Vizio you'd be better off using an HDMI to HDMI cable. The VGA port on the Vizio E320 only supports 640x480 resolution; you have to set your display output accordingly, usually in control panel. Using HDMI you're able to keep the signal HD, @720p. The E320 also supports 1080i, but you're not going to see all 1080 lines. If for some reason you're trying to go from the Vizio to the laptop it just doesn't work that way.
Hello
Just type in E320VP'VIZIO in Google sercha box and serch. You will enter to Vizio website from you can download the user manual for your device or get into this iste www.vizio.com/support/result/?support_product...E320VP OK.
I had the same problem with my 42" vizio. Was working fine for about a year and a half, then a month after all stations went digital, I couldn't see any digital channels and it wouldn't scan for digital signals
This is a strange go around, but it worked for me. . Tried unplugging, pushing power button for two minutes... did everything the forums suggest, with no resolve. But, here's what DID work for me. Trust me, it sounds strange, but it continues to work (and, yes... it's not a permanent fix... the channels still go out once in a while, but I can always get them back now)
Use your Vizio remote control. Turn your TV on. Press the "input" button until you get to "RGB", which is what you would connect a computer to. Make sure no computer is connected, or it's at least off if it is connected. When you get to RGB, you'll see a message that says "No Signal". After about 5 seconds, the TV will enter a sleep mode and seem as if it has turned off (orange Vizio logo). Once it completes it's little sleep cycle and "clicks" off, wait a few seconds and hit the input button again. It'll go to the next menu item. Keep clicking input until you're back on "TV", and VUALA! The channels are back!
I accidentally figured this out when trying to troubleshoot, but I'm glad I did. Didn't want to dishout $250 to get it fixed. Let us know if it works for you too!
James,
I have been researching this TV and found that many had motherboard issues with this exact problem. The fix was to replace it. I would contact LG support ASAP and get it to a service rep before the 1 year warranty runs out. Good luck!
