My TV turns off by itself. How do I correct this? (by 31 users)

Check for cold solders points, many times is the problem, recheck every poor solders.. nice? ok

the cold solder points do not explain why the tv comes back on after it goes off.

Brief power outages may cause the TV to turn off on its own. If you are using a surge protector, try connecting the set directly to the wall outlet. If this does not correct the problem, you may need to have your TV serviced.

My TV does that and i have to keep turning it on then after about 5 minutes of frustration it somehow warms up and i can watch tv so if you can just keep pushing the power button on the tv and wait about 5 sec for sound and then it turns off then after thaat about 10 times wait a minute and keep doing the 5 sec thing until it turns on
hope it helps

Sometimes when the tv is old welds stop conducing... so you hit the tv and it works... you should check for some bad (usually white) weldings and solder again.

check if the auto timer on/off has been turned on. this can be accessed from the menu

My TV keep't turning off on its own, very frustrating so I had it checked out and it turned out to be broken joints in the soldering that lead to the power supply.

 

Hope this helps.

Check to see if the Sleep Timer is on.

My GE manual suggests you check to see if your sleep timer is on when this happens.

welll sometimes if you have your tv on sleep mode this might also turn it offf

when its pluged on the fuse will cut of

checked the big low voltage power supply capacitor if it is not dried up

I have the same problem that TV turns off automatically after 3 minutes 2 minutes or something like that.

I do not have any power outage. Shall I just Connect it to the Direct wall socket

When it shuts off. Try doing what's called a self-diagnostic test.
As soon as the television shuts try these steps.

Pressing on the front panel's 'INPUT' and 'MENU' buttons at the same time, and holding for 5 seconds,
activates the Self Diagnostic Code Mode. The LED flashes denoting a two digit Error Code, or indicating no problem
has occured since the last Initalization.

Please do Note: The front panel buttons must be used, NOT those on the Remote Control.

The number of flashes indicates the value of the MSD (tens digit) of the Error Code.
The flashing then pauses for approximately 1/2 second.
The LED then flashes indicating the value of the LSD (ones digit) of the Error Code.
The Error Code is repeated a total of 5 times.
Example: If the Error Code is ?24?, the LED will flash two times, pause, and then flash four
times.

The Error Code designations indicating a malfunction, or no malfunction, are listed below:
Self Diagnosic Code Description
1 - 2 = no error detected
2 - 1 = X-ray protect (high voltage or beam current)
2 - 2 = Short protect (short protect monitors low voltage supplies)
2 - 3 = Deflection protect (this could be loss of vertical or horizontal deflection)
2 - 4 = Vertical protect (usually loss of vertical from the source).

Good luck! ...Lates...
