Vizio tv stuck on Smartcast screen, enter pin code

My vizio tv is stuck on smartcast and not responding to remote

ANSWERS:

Unplug the television, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in

Thanks this worked! Unplugging TV and holding power button for 30+ seconds was a waste of time.

Hold input on remote for a few seconds, i let mine go to airplay and after that switched to the input channel i needed and it worked fine. I’m not sure if it was holding the remote input or switching to airplay that did it but it was one of them.

This happened to my 85 y/o Dad’s Vizio - tried unplugging, rebooting, every troubleshooting tip on line. Input always went back to Smartcast - couldn’t choose any other input! As a last resort - when did you last change batteries in remote - 6 months he says - let’s change them and just see. That worked!!! Able to now select input ‘cable box’ & watch his shows. Thankful as this was stressful over the phone from 600 miles away!
