Thank you for showing everything clearly and getting straight to the point.


Hopefully this fixes the problem where my D24-d1 TV suddenly won't find any available Wi-Fi networks.
The TV went from always displaying my own network along with all the networks in the neighborhood, to showing zero, then it only showed that Xfinity network that probably shows up on everybody's electronic devices, then back to zero, and as of now it's only showing 2 available Wi-Fi networks in the neighborhood-- but it won't show my own network.

I've already tried all of that unplugging and holding down power buttons stuff, and I did a master reset of the TV several times and none of that has fixed the problem.

You stabbed the IC board with your screwdriver there!

Been getting hacked, what else should I disconnect? I removed wire to wifi

My wifi Mac address on my Vizio is saying
BA:D0:00:BA:D0:00

I don't know why it says this but I'm guessing it's an error code and I'm not sure if it means the board is bad or if it's not getting power or if something else is going on and before I spend the money and time to open the back and replace the board I wanted to see if you know what that Mac address error code indicates ?

Thanks

Is there any USB wifi dongle was designed to work with this TV that I could plug into the USB port and get Wi-Fi that way ?
I realize it would need to have the drivers built in to the main board but it would also need some type of software to tell it to look at the USB port as a Wi-Fi adapter.
I have seen TVs that had a USB dongle Wi-Fi adapter that came with the TV that didn't have a board installed in it so I don't know if Vizio ever had dongles or has this ability.

By removing the card, automatically Wi-Fi is desconected? Thanks
I don't need the Wi-Fi.

Could that be capable for a smaller size tv and it's components to a smaller tv because the smaller tv be going slow most of the time

I have a 65 inch Vizio. It won’t connect to any network. I’ve tried it all. I did factory reset and other things and it doesn’t solve the issue. Would this be the problem?
