Won’t stay on —small lights below screen flash for a second and then go out

If a Vizio E260MV TV won't stay on and the small lights below the screen flash for a second and then go out, the issue could be with the power connection. Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the TV and a working electrical outlet. Try plugging the power cord into a different outlet. Also, press the Power/Standby button on the remote or on the right side of the TV. If the issue continues, it may indicate a power supply or internal hardware problem.

The Vizio E260MV TV has built-in 5W speakers and supports audio features like TruVolume, Noise Reduction, MTS Stereo Decoder, and Dolby Digital for ATSC/QAM. If there is no sound, possible causes include:

1. Muted or Low Volume – Ensure the TV is not muted and the volume is turned up.
2. Incorrect Audio Settings – Check the Audio Settings menu to ensure the correct audio output is selected.
3. Wrong Input Source – If using an external device, ensure the correct input source is selected.
4. Faulty Connection – If connected to an external audio device, check the cables and connections.
5. Software or System Issue – Try restarting the TV or performing a factory reset.
6. Speaker Malfunction – If internal speakers are defective, external speakers or a sound system may be needed.

If none of these resolve the issue, professional repair may be required.
