Drains all of the power from the tv so a hard reboot. From reading the vizio forums they are notorious for needing this done to clear various issues. Not sure if there OS holds on longer in memory
But the Hopper can be a 4K receiver. It makes sense to permanantly set up for what that receiver can accomplish.
You don’t know what else he has though. Could have a ATV4K which should probably occupy that port
I know he has a Roku. I also know he is passionate about 4K on the Hopper 3. If he doesn’t use that port for his Hopper he will never see 4K out of the Hopper.
I had a Vizio tv for about 6 months a couple of years ago. The first one had a line across the screen. Had to replace it so they came out and gave me another one. The replacement lasted longer but started turning itself off randomly. Had to unplug it to reboot it over and over again. Finally gave it to Charity and got me a Phillips 4k tv and it works well. The only issue I have is when the hdmi control is turned on the hopper , it will sometimes not catch the sound for the a/v receiver. So I have to turn on the tv first then the a/v receiver by button and it will then recognize the a/v receiver and play out of the speakers. Minor irritation but other than that the picture is great and everything works. I haven't had to unplug my phillips tv once.
Maybe I've missed it but has he indicated that the TV works at all, with anything ?
Not yet. That’s why I asked him to press Menu on his remote. That would at least tell us whether the TV is capable of any picture at all.
Best I can tell no. I tried as did others have but not really a straight answer. He seems to be saying the Hopper and Roku do not work.
You haven't given us enough information to even be sure the TV is the problem, much less the main board. Tell us EXACTLY what you have done and what results you have gotten.
Yeah, seems like the most basic level of "troubleshooting" has been overlooked by him. I mean, it's a smart TV - turn the damn thing on with NOTHING connected and you'll get a pretty vibrant menu system/interface that makes it obvious if the TV itself works.
I caught his reference to the ROKU not working as well and immediately thought, "uhhh, maybe it's the TV...".
If he is not participating in this discussion, it is pointless. Blugrass, are you there?
