Google your tv and see if others have had similar issues. I have a Samsung that turned itself on and off and all I had to do was take the back off and disconnect the buttons on the side of the tv that we didn't ever use anyway. I could have replaced the 20 dollar part...but why bother. There was even a you tube video that showed me exactly what to do!
There are really only three boards in the back of the tv, so if you do have to replace a board, it is way cheaper than buying a new tv. Well, maybe not based on the black Friday prices I saw...
The one caution is that capacitors hold electricity, so if you don't know what you are touching, don't touch it! A little education and it should be easy to figure out what is wrong.
On the other hand, I had an LG that was doing the same thing and was out of warranty. They stepped up to the plate and paid for parts, labor AND for the tech to travel 1.5 hours each way to fix it. Amazing.
I would obviously try to get Vizeo to fix it first...but if they won't, it ain't rocket science...it's plug and play components.
