Just got this home after buying it from Craigslist. I was told that the one day one of the HDMI inputs went out and over the course of a couple weeks/months each of the rest of the HDMI inputs went out.
Composite should still work.
I'll hopefully try each and every input when I get home tomorrow, but unless this is an easy fix I might just buy a new mainboard and call it a day.
My wife wants this out of the house as quickly as possible. It's one thing to have a bunch of receivers being fixed in our never used basement. It's another to have a (couple of) TV's cluttering up the rest of the house.
MT are there any service bulletins that might lead me to the possible failure of the HDMI inputs?

Not seeing any SB's. I would first try doing a factory default reset. If that doesn't cure it I would try to get an internet connection and check for firmware updates.

No firmware updates from what I can tell. I will check on doing a factory reset.

I can't perform a factory reset because the TV doesn't register signals from the remote.
Fresh batteries, nothing.
Programmed an old Logitech Harmony, nothing.
Unless you have any ideas, I'll start looking for a new main board.

Well apparently it was more then just the HDMI's went out I see.
Well it could be a loss of voltage somewhere so could be the main or the P/S. Did you pull the back off yet?

No. We're having our young nieces and nephew over this weekend so I don't want to pull it apart just yet. I can do that in a week.

All buttons on TV work, but when I get to the very last step there is no way to hit enter.
When I press the power button the set powers on and displays a Vizio Logo with a black background.
Without a source connected, every input displays "No Signal" on a blue background.
I connected a Blu-ray player via HDMI. The set displays "Receiving Data" for a few seconds on a black background, then goes completely black and nothing...
I tried this with every other HDMI input (1, 3, side). Same on all.
I will try with component and composite sources tomorrow.

Try reprogramming your TV remote to see if operation returns.
Press and release the TV button on the remote.
Press and hold the SET button until the LED flashes twice.
Try 1 of these codes: 000,047,050,067,329,331,339.
LED should flash twice after entering a code to accept it.
Try the power button and see if the TV turn on or off.
Repeat to try different codes.

I've tried three different remotes:
The one that came with the TV
Logitech HArmony 676
A Vizio remote from a 37" TV.

Checked the remote. I can see the IR in the camera's screen.

Are we at a stand still until I can pop the back off?
