Another VIZIO turns off randomly
I have a VIZIO 42" LED TV, model E422AR, about 3 yrs old (out of warranty). The TV is wall mounted in my bedroom. A few months ago it started randomly 'turning itself off'. By random I mean it might not happen for a few days, then happen several times in the course of a minute. The usual pattern is it happens a few times each evening.
ANSWERS:
I have been all over these forums trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong with my tv and nothing seemed to work. House 1 i was on a bottom floor mounted on my wall over a year no issues. House 2 on a wall lots of sunlight with no ac I had issues all day long as soon as spring hit. House 3 I had ac but my tv was between 2 windows I would have problems at certain times of the day and just before sunset. It finally hit me that every time my tv shut off I was also getting up to turn on my ac. I bought a little fan that I keep angled at my tv during the day since the heat/sun seemed to be what was causing it. I did that 6 months ago and I have only had the same issue on days where I forget to turn on the ac and it’s 80-90 outside.
So I took mine to a TV Repair shop and it acted just fine but when I got hit home and hooked it up again it started all over. So next time I took it the guy asked me what I was hooking up to the TV and we found that by replacing the HDMI Cable it worked fine.
Mine was the power button on the back that was sticking. I cleaned it up, and pushed it a few times and it was fixed.
i did a factory reset and put in my zip code and it works now
