Black screen with functioning Backlight and screen

My screen went black with a functioning backlight model vizio d32h-d1 . I first plugged it in it worked fine and I began to link it to my wifi network. The display worked fine I was messing around with the settings when I accidentally clicked on a "screen overlay" setting and since then the display turns on but is completely black with a backlight. I cannot access the menu I have tried various inputs my laptop through hdmi 1 & 2, casting, amazon fire stick, chrome cast stick, and nothing seems to affect it. I cannot see the menu or any feature on the screen. I tried the soft reset and unplugging it holding power for 30 seconds and turning it back on nothing changes.

Is there any other method for resetting? Can i unscrew the back and manually factory reset somehow? I’m not afraid of messing around with the hardware i’ve built a few computers I just know nothing about tv’s. please let me know if you can help thanks!

You could try this. Refers to screen muting.

Generally speaking, the black screen with backlight only is a very common symptom for Vizio Tvs with a failed main board and or corrupted firmware. Just not sure how that would come from messing with settings though.

Thanks Joel its confusing me because it was working just fine.I scrolled through display settign and accidentally hit screen overlay. maybe the hardware happened to malfunction as i hit the menu option but it seems unlikely. Does anyone know of a way to flash reset the tv with say a usb drive? or something i can do manually from unscrewing the back?
