If your Vizio TV won't turn on, work through these fixes in order. Most cases resolve within the first few steps.

## Quick fixes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check the power cord">
    Unplug and firmly reconnect the cord at both the TV and outlet. Inspect for damage.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test the outlet">
    Plug another device into the same outlet. Bypass surge protectors and power strips.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the standby LED">
    A solid LED means power is reaching the TV. No LED means a power source problem. A blinking LED signals an error code (note the pattern).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test the remote">
    Replace batteries. Try the physical power button on the TV. If the TV button works, the remote is at fault.
  </Step>

  <Step title="60-second power cycle">
    Unplug the TV, wait 60 seconds, hold the TV's **Power** button for 30 seconds to drain capacitors, then plug back in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Hard reset via TV buttons">
    Hold **Volume Down** + **Input** on the TV for 10-15 seconds until an on-screen prompt appears.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Common causes

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Power cycle only fixes it temporarily">
    Likely a failing power board or capacitor. Consider warranty or professional repair.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="LED blinks but TV won't turn on">
    The blink pattern is an error code. Look up your model + blink count on Vizio's support site.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Turns on then shuts off">
    Check ventilation (4+ inches on all sides), clean dust from vents, retry the power cycle.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Stopped working after a storm">
    Check your surge protector's reset button. Surge damage may require repair. Check warranty and insurance.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Faulty HDMI device blocking startup">
