Vizio Vht215 Power Problem.

My vizio vht215 only powers on for 3 seconds and then turns off. I have tried everything. It is only 2 days old. I got the last one at my local store and would rather not return it and wait weeks. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try this. Try disconnecting everything from the TV, unplug the TV and hold the power button in for 1 minute. Plug it back in and turn it on without having anything attached.
