Yeah, hopefully they can. If not though, I went ahead and contacted Vizio through email first with the issue. So basically what do you think they will do? Send a replacement part or something?

More than likely Vizio will recommend a repair shop not far from where he lives that he can take it to, or replace the television outright. <cite>GastroFan posted [p:914560165] in Anyone kno...
