I have a Vizio VO370M. The power briefly went out and the TV wouldn't come back on. Everything else that was plugged into the same surge protector is fine. When I turn on the TV, the amber Vizio light goes white with no other response. I can turn off the power and the light goes back amber. HELP!!!

Try unplugging it for about an hour to let it reset itself first, if it is still bad, you will have to do in-depth troubleshooting to narrow down the cause.

If you are going to DIY and have proper tools, electronics knowledge, and know safety precaution then please read on:

I had to unplug my tv today (actually the TV is plugged into a surge protector, so I unplugged the surge protector.) when I plugged the surge protector back in the TV wouldn't go on (acts as if its...

There should be a surge release button on the surge protector to bring the protector back to normal (should be red in color) Some surge protection devices have this option so just check if your s has it. If that is not the case than I think that you might have blown a fuse in your TV.Might just have to open it up and change the fuse within with the same ratings, but please be careful because do have high voltages so get an experienced technician to do this for you.
Good Luck.

I was watching my tv when my son hit the reset button on my surge protector..now my tv will not turn on. Any ideas?

Turn everything off, the tv the power and make sure the button is not active at the moment. Some surge protectors do come with a fuse but when you turn the surge protector back on itself make sure it is recieving power, there is usually a red light on the switch while recieving power. Then try again once you know there is power to it.

Went to turn on tv no power- no power light!! only 3years old.

Check your power connection and the cable going into the TV. Also, if it is plugged into a surge protector, test to make sure the surge protector is working and that it hasn't tripped. If it is getting power, but it still refuses to turn on, take it to a tv repair shop for repairs.

Tv does not turn on after a thunderstorm and several attempts at power returning to the home. The power went on briefly then shut off several times, now the television will not turn on. We had the tv...

Check the main fuse in the power supply, the TV also has small surge protection devices (MOVs) installed after the fuse, any surges the come along and big enough will cause the main AC fuse to blow. When you surge protector, EVERY connections must go through the surge protector, for example, the AC cord of the TV is connected to the surge protector, the cable connection did not go through the surge protection, the surge then can get to the TV through the cables.

No power

Unplug the tv press power on and plug it back in.
some of these units have a reset clearly marked on the back.
connect direct to wall as the surge protector may now have issue.
