I've VIZIO M470NV. And my slider QWERTY keyboard just stopped working... a little short of 4 years of using it. What are my options now?

I'm in the same boat. I called Vizio and they weren't able to help me. I found a really ugly 1980s looking remote that is said to work but it costs $40 and it is IR not bluetooth. The Vizio universal remotes don't work (I bought them and tried them). I am unable to turn off the bluetooth on my TV so it only responds to bluetooth. I am considering purchasing a logitech universal remote and doing a hard reset on my TV. There aren't many options. Vizio had a great idea of doing a bluetooth remote but because, I assume, of the higher cost they immediately switched back to IR, isolating this line of TVs. I'm in the same boat.

Nobody responded in the last week so I'll provide an update myself (Boomer). I purchased the cheapest lighted keyboard I could find (not the Saitek) to test it with my KVM switch. Bottom line: everything works great. I thought if the light caused the switch not to operate properly, I could just turn the light off when activating the switch. In fact, that wasn't necessary (at least for the keyboard I purchased).

You are able to get a remote without the slideout keyboard. That type of remote will not work bluetooth and you will have to input to the screen keyboard using the up/down arrows. If you are handy there is a repair from a company called Mouser electronics. Costs about $6 dollars. You need a mini screwdriver or other small tool to open the remote and replace the two ribbons. I chose to buy a new remote and then purchased the kit to repair at my leisure. Now I have two bluetooth remotes.

Solution: borrow another keyboard and install it (probably no need for software). Use ITS number lock to change the status of your num lock software. You can then uninstall it or leave it for future such problems.I note that I also have no blue light to show the num lk function, but my alternate keyboard is already in action.

I ended up replacing this keyboard with the expensive Microsoft one instead, because this one just stopped working. I took good care of it and most of the keys just didn't work or I had to push very hard. I know it's really expensive but you might just have to suck it up and pay, see if you can get a deal on here.

I just got off the phone with Amazon support and was told the the app for the M470i-A2 was in development and has not been released yet. I was told that I would receive an email when the app for the tv has been released. It sounded like this applies to most or all 2014 Vizio tv's.

I had mine for about a year before it stopped working. It would seem in some cases a reinstall of drivers helps a lot. What you need to do is verify you didn't get a doa and if so get the rma started asap. My symptoms were, upon boot or plug in, lights would work momentarily then all feedback would stop, lights would go out, and Windows reports an unrecognized device. Some more testing might have been prudent on my part but I was to frustrated to give it the time. Also, no experience with the keyboard.

I don't know but the keyboard on mine never worked, and at the time it seemed several other reviewers had the same problem.

Amazon, how much will you pay me to research something that should be directed to the manufacture. However, for what it worth Dorothy D. Stout, I would try changing the power cord first. If you don't have a second cord to try, go to your mobile phone store and ask them to check your cord. Other than that, I have no idea. I just gave mine to a co-worker because I found that didn't use the keyboard.

Thanks, silly mistake really, I had did a bit of dyslexic typing. All is well now and the keyboard has paired with my blackberry.I will add here that I did upgrade to OS 4.2.1 which did not come with my BB even though i just bought it last week. After that and downloading Marco's file directly into my bb, everything was a breeze.Thanks again, D.

I had ordered a keyboard from Logitech for my IPAD based on information provided. When I received it I could not get it to work. I called Logitech support who after trying to assist advised me to return for replacement. I returned the unit for a replacement which had the same issues. After working with Logitech support, I was told to return the unit for a refund. I hope you have better luck with your issues. As of today, I have NO Logitech keyboard and have no intention of buying one based on this experience.

U should contact Logitech for tech support, but you have to turn on BlueTooth on your device. The directions with the keyboard are pretty complete.

Have you got it to work before? I purchased one of these keyboards and had to RMA it twice. I got my money back after that and ordered another. I never got mine to work though, even after extreme internetting to find a solution.

I'm not sure but my remote for my tv was not one of these. It only had the side with the numbers, no keyboard. It works with mine so if yours looked like that i would think it would. You might call vizio and ask. Wish I could be more help.

Mine just died due to battery controller failure after about 3 years.. Looks like it is a common problem with this keyboard as well..
