1yo old Vizio tv going out

damn that sucks

I have a 55" 4K P series from Vizio that randomly locks up and restsrts. Only 2 years old.

If you bought with a credit card, it might extend the warranty by a year.

if you're in new orleans metro area look up video vision, they came out and fixed my tv at my house. easiest thing ever.

I've only bought one Vizio product in my life and it sucked.

Bought a Blu-ray player back in 2009 and it wouldn't play jack shite. I gave it to my kids for Christmas so I unboxed it and set it up before we went to my hometown for the weekend. Naturally I threw the box away.

Three days later we get back home and I fire the thing up. Nothing.

Walmart wouldn't take it back because I didn't have the box even though I had my receipt.

Many if not most cards have this. You likely need the receipt and a copy of the credit card bill/slip and a copy of the TV warranty. (That's what my VISA asked for.) Print that card slip now before it gets too old to access online.

I had a shitty Sony that was repaired a couple times, so I registered it with the credit card for the extended warranty. You don't have to register, but it speeds any claim, and it gets your docs on record before you misplace them.

I went through three of them in 4 months under warranty. My BNL has one going out too. Vizio is gawbage in my opinion.

I went through 3 in one and a half months. The third is now working fine but their product quality has gone down tremendously. I bought one in 2007 before they were big and that thing still works like a champ after 10 years of daily use.

they don't make the tvs

they buy parts from china and assemble them I believe in Mexico ftw

Have you taken the set and isolated it away from the area it's in now? You could potentially be subjecting the television to some strong magnetic interference from speakers, receiver, electrical lines, elevator, or your next door neighbor's house.

Also, are you using an electrical surge protector or are you plugged in straight into the wall outlet.

There is also potential for a ground-fault loop problem at this outlet. Moving it and testing it at another location in the home could help determine if this is an issue.

They actually did replace it with brand new ones each time. Its just a pain in the arse. Like can you not build such crap technology so I dont have to do this.
