TV randomly turns on and off repeatedly

TV randomly turns on and off repeatedly

I have had my Vizio for a little over a year, a few months ago it started to lag when I changed the volume or channel with my cable remote. We have lost the remote to the tv so it can only be controlled by the cable remote, smartest app via the phone and another vizier remote we have for a TV in the kids room (just realized about a year ago the kids tv would turn off by itself but immediately turned back on).

ANSWERS:

This advice saved me. In my case HDMI 2 was fried, So I moved my Firestick to HDMI 1. Note that I also had to remove the batteries from my firestick remote before it stopped power cycling. Thanks everyone for reporting this issue and the fix.

I had this problem too. It was the remote from the Firestick I had plugged into the tv that causing it.

I have a Vizio 70” e series and it started this cycling off and on. I tried everything I found on the web without any results. I finally just did a factory reset of the T.V. and the problem has not returned. Hope this will help anyone out there that has the same problem.

Had the same issue with the TV in our living room. Thought the TV was fried so moved the fire stick to the bedroom and began having the same problem with that TV - different brands of TVs. So followed your advice. Unplugged TVs, unplugged all HDMIs, took batteries out of all remotes. Then held down power putt on on TVs to reset. Then plugged TVs back in and plugged in Directv boxes back in and put batteries back in those remotes. Both TVs are fine hallelujah! Did not plug back in the Firestick to either TV and did not put back in its batteries. Would much rather replace our firestick than 2 TVs.
