Make sure the power button is ON (White VIZIO Logo).
Make sure AC power cord is securely connected to the AC socket.
Plug another electrical device (like a radio) to the power outlet to verify that the
outlet is supplying the proper voltage.

Firmware updates are done automatically if your TV is connected to the internet.
