We have a Vizio TV that stopped working when it was pretty new.
I called Vizio, and they reminded me that the TV is a lot like a computer, and can get into a bad place. The suggestion was to disconnect the power cord for several minutes (to allow the computer to go into a totally dead state, then plug it back in for at least 45 seconds to reboot the computer, then turn it on.
This has happened two or three times, and the power cord method has worked to restore it to a healthy operating condition.
Of course, your Vizio is a different model if you bought it recently, so who knows -- but it can't hurt to try.
