      To resolve the 'no power' issue with your Vizio LCD TV, first, ensure the power button is switched ON, indicated by a white VIZIO logo. Next, verify that the AC power cord is securely connected to the AC socket. To confirm the outlet's functionality, plug another electrical device, such as a radio, into the same outlet to check if it's supplying the correct voltage.
