Visio TV won't periodically turn on

[murphysranch]

2019 Newmar Bay Star 3414. This TV is on a "televator". We cannot get to the back of it to find the model number, and the prior owners didn't provide a manual for either of the TV's. We couldn't get to the plugs in the back behind the fireplace. So we busted out a back wall of a tiny cupboard.

Why? I read a reset option for this issue. Unplug the unit, then immediately hold the power button for 30 seconds, then replug it back in after a full 60 sec. Worked enough last nite for us to play a DVD movie. Today, no TV. Its been doing this for our full two days.

Hubs wants to run out and buy a new tv. I'm for fixing what is here.

Next steps suggestions? Thank you.

The model of the TV should be in the on screen menu which is typically in the support section, etc.

If you need to power cycle the TV and can't access the plug, you could turn the inverter off and then turn it on again after whatever period of time you need. A minute should be all that's needed, not 60 minutes. You just need to power cycle it. If it has an Internet connection feature, connect it to your Wi-Fi and make sure the firmware is up to date.

It won't turn on for me to see the model number. Good idea on the firm ware. Thank you, Neal.

I'm with your Hub, these TV's are mostly 5 or 6 year rentals and done, plus he'll need a new Milwaukee screw gun, extra battery and charger, a table saw or a hand held orbital buffer.

So, you've met my husband then?

This happened to my GPS in my boat. There may be a "memory battery which has gone bad. Same thing: long time to boot.
Try this: can you get a camera in the area of where the make/model info is?
Take a picture of it.
Then if it needs a new battery, someone can install it.
the GPS was easy to work on, as it can be brough in the hose.
Try this: do a "search" for stations. Turn it off do not unplug. then turn it on in a minute or two. If it comes right up, then my diagnosis is on target.
If you open the set up, the battery looks like the one i a watch, about the side of a quarter. Some electronic knowledge is required...

If it's not a smart TV then replace it.
