We have a vizio smart tv. Every time we turn it on it will play about one minute and then go off. You cannot change the channel or adjust the volume. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
"We had our cable provider come out to check everything who concluded it was the TV (Vizio VA370M), so we called Vizio. Remote would not work to access volume, TV menu, etc., and the TV was shutting on and off every few minutes. The Vizio technician told us to do the following and it worked!
Don't know if someone already posted something similar but here's is what he told us to do: 1. Disconnect everything from the TV including the power cord from the power outlet and back of the TV 2. Press the power button on the TV (not the remote) for 30+ seconds. 3. Plug the power cord back into the TV and into a wall outlet (not a surge protector). 4. Turn TV on without anything connected for about 5 minutes. 5. Reconnect your cable, satellite, etc. cords back into the TV and reboot as instructed by your provider. Hope this helps. I read these complaints which made it seem hopeless but decided to call Vizio anyway. My TV is now working."

Thanks for the replies. My husband unplugged everything and rebooted. Working fine now. I think we had some sort of surge at the campground. My laptop is not up to par either.
