Powers On A Few Seconds Then Shuts Off. Won't Power Back On. Do You Have Manual

I took the back off to look for burnt circuits but didn't see any. There is a fuse but end caps are soldered in so couldn't test it. Can you help? Only light that comes on is white led bottom corner which comes on a few seconds then off, won't come back on.

I Know the Answer!

If the power light is not lighting up at all, reseat the power cable in the back of the device and where it plugs into the wall.

To reseat the cable, unplug the power cord from the device, and plug it back in. Make sure it is securely and tightly connected to the device. Do the same in the wall outlet. If the power cord is connected to a power strip or surge protector please verify that the surge protector/power strip is turned on.

. If the device still isn't powering on, try plugging another device into the outlet to make sure it's getting power.

If the other device doesn't work in the outlet, it may be an issue with the outlet itself.
If another device (like a lamp or cellphone charger) is getting power from the outlet, the outlet is working, your device is experiencing an issue. If you are still within warranty, please contact VIZIO Support for further assistance by selecting 'Contact Us' on support.vizio.com homepage or calling us toll free at 855-833-3221.
