If you think it is the fan, you can get a similar sized fan that hooks up to the USB port for power and try bracing it at the opening to replace the internal fan. If that does it then you could most likely hot melt glue it in place or velcro it in place and be done with it.

I hope you moved anything you wanted to keep to an external since the unit is dieing.

What I hear on another site devoted to repairs is that as a Vizio gets older you can't get repair parts.

I use a laptop twice a month for bill paying/online banking. Then it gets put away until the next time. Desktop gets 99+% of the use. Laptop = Less durable, no upgrade on the screen size. More expensive to repair and slower than same dollar$ desktop. Spill some water in the desktop keyboard...

That sort of thing could be avoided easily. However some users feel a need to post I just switched from .. to .. instead of just asking the question. So in effect they invite comments since both satellite services seem to have their fans. Both services have their good and bad points...

All it takes is a momentary blip in the power to cause the problem you are seeing. Forget the surge protector go get a uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). I wouldn't run my DVRs without one.

Ah, the Jenny code for the dishplayer and if I am remembering right the second one was to download guide data. Cheers

Simply put: A SD signal to a SD TV will always look better than the same SD signal fed to a HDTV. The fact that you are using the lowest form of connectivity to your SD set helps smooth out the video along with losing sharpness. A Analog Monitor has no native resolution and will look just...

Hello Scott I've been toying with getting the 922, unfortunately it doesn't quite appear ready to replace a reliable VIP series DVR. You piqued my interest with the ABC Australian comment. How does one find that content to watch? Thanks RT

AS long as you aren't on the Eastern Arc you do not need the G3 card yet. Once the encryption starts to change over in the near future you will slowly lose channels until you do get the G3 card. This is the same thing that happened during the last card swap. Think about it this way. Even if...

You should call Dish now. When you need the new G3 card they won't be sending it to you since as far as they are concerned you already have it. Report the installer as he stole from you.

When I call I'll be telling them no Lease fees and no DVR fees since the two they are replacing are owned and no fee DVRs.

Just my luck that both of the SD DVRs I use along with the HD DVRs are being dumped. The 7100 and the 721, Whee, Whoopee! :(

If you were right about it having to do with the Tivo lawsuit it why would the replacement be one of the named in that lawsuit receivers, the 522 is named too.

My own feelings on the subject are that you need to view the TV and decide what you like the look of. If you are a member of Costco then buy there, they have the best return policy. Before you buy think about what your wants are. VGA input for the computer? How many Component and HDMI inputs...
