New rule: you must have permission to leave XI. And in your case, it will never be given. Thanks for all you do for the group Gatorgirl!!! You're greatly appreciated.

You'll need a passport for Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Welcome to our web site. Hope to see more of you here.

Thanks AJ but I've also Googled this issue every which way I can and I still don't have a specific cause. The link you provided doesn't show one that I can find; there are some folks who hear a pop and the screen goes out - but stays out. In my case, the screen goes black for a second or two then comes back. I think Gump's in the right area on this. I feel sure it's a high voltage issue, perhaps an arcing of some kind. The "crack" sound has a lot of power behind it, like a high-voltage circuit breaker slamming shut. But strangely, I cannot find an issue via Google that is exactly what we're experiencing, and which I could suggest to Vizio when I call them again.

Whew. It's bad a hard road for you buddy but keep the faith that you will beat it. We're thinking of you!!

Oh, I'd appreciate if you would ask and reply here. You're the first person I've found who had the same problem. I'd like to be able to suggest something to the inept at Vizio's call center next time I talk to them.

Thanks Johnny. We're seated fairly close to it and without question, HD looks much better. So how could the power supply make this noise? It sound like a static discharge, only it's loud enough that you can hear it downstairs. ??

We bought a 65-inch, 4k Vizio smart TV last October. Every now and then we hear a very loud crack and the screen goes black for a second or two. It may happen three times in one night, and it may not happen again for another week. The sound is very loud. About the only thing I can relate it to is a circuit breaker closing. There is no smell of anything burning. Googling this, I cannot find an identical issue for Vizeo or any other maker. There are some folks who are hearing a noise associated with the chassis expanding or contracting from heat but nothing like what we're hearing. Vizio ran us through their reset process. The next call (this morning) they suggested it might be an issue with the cable box input and they want me to watch another input, i.e., DVD player or some app continuously to see if it repeats from an input other than the cable box. Of course, that's ridiculous. The sound is coming from the TV, not the cable box. They're just stalling me and so after a few days I'll call back and lie to them that it happened while we were watching a movie. That's all I can do. But I can't find any information on what this could be. What device could a TV have that could produce such a sound? Any ideas? Thanks!!

Bullshit. You've ALWAYS been an idiot!

Hope you're OK Toes. Take care!!!

You are mistaken. You in fact have been an idiot your entire life.

Hats, shirts, pens, keychains, same old crap. How's about some imagination here?

Good to see you here. Join in!!

Have a wonderful birthday Bama!!!

Have a happy!!!

Did you fail to contribute to the retired XI Administrator's fund?

The candidates are questioned in a room where, unknown to them, a truth gas is being released so that they cannot lie... Q: Mr. Trump, you won handily in Nevada last night, your third successive victory. How do you explain your amazing appeal? A: Hey, they want bullshit and so that's what I give them. Q: But you continue to contradict yourself on various issues. A: They don't care. Most of them are too stupid to care. Look, they're pissed off. So all I gotta do is pretend I'm pissed too. It works. Q: Buy you're a billionaire. What do you want to be president? A: So I can be a trillionaire. I'm going to milk it for all it's worth. Every president comes out of office a millionaire. I'm going to put them all to shame. Q: Sen. Rubio, you came in second last night but Mr. Trump has such a commanding lead, how can you hope to catch him? A: I don't hope to catch him. There's no way I'm going to catch him. I'm still in it because it's not my money I'm spending and he might get hit by a truck. Q: Mr. Cruz, at least Sen. Rubio is being honest. How about you? A: I'm hoping Trump not only gets hit by a truck, but that they find a young boy in Rubio's closet. Q: Dr. Carson, you haven't got a snowball's chance in hell. Why are you still here? A: I'm going to be the nation's first black vice president. Trump will put me on the ticket just to get me off his back. Yewehaw. Q: OK, and now to the Democrats. Mrs. Clinton, it looks like you're going to defeat Sen. Numbnuts, oops, I mean Sen. Sanders, for the nomination. But you've never said why it is you so desperately want to be president. A: To keep my fat ass out of jail dickhead. When I'm president I'll shut down the FBI before the bastards indict me for scamming hundreds of millions from foreign powers while I was secretary of state. Q: But what if they indict you first? A: I'll tell them that cuthound Bill did it. Q: And Sen. Numb... er. Sanders, Mrs. Clinton has all of the super delegates locked up because of the crooked delegate system that the Democrats run. You can't win. So why are you still on the campaign trail? A: Because it beats being home. Have you seen my wife?

Downfall? Au contraire. Gaming will lift you up, keep you healthy and mentally alert, and around here, get you some back door titty pictures that your wife will never know about. Welcome.
