Sony 46" lcd turns off by itself and will not power up again.

Twice in the last 24 hours my Sony has shut down with no ability to turn it back on. I tried switching AC outlets to no avail. I finally pulled the cord completely and went to get my multimeter to do some troubleshooting only to find the battery dead. As I went back to the tv and connected the cord I heard a click in the tv and it started working again. I then watched tv for about 2 hours and fell asleep. When I awoke the tv was turned off again. It remained off overnight and I was unable to turn it on in the morning. I then disconnected the cord for about 5 minutes and reconnected it. The tv turned on again. This tv is only 7 months old. What is going on?

If your tv unit is still under warranty, first you better bring it back again to the store you just bought it for warranty purposes, your tv has an internal problem, maybe manufacturer defect. Usually the cause of that is a shorted electronics component, say for ex, a mosfet transistor that is located at the power section, or maybe a capacitor that is leaky, and also an open resistor. if you don't know how to troubleshoot this problem, you better have your tv unit repaired by a professional tv technician.

Good luck

We have an 80cm Sony Bravia LCD TV that continues to shut down and restart. Any ideas.

The main digital board should be suspected. There are so many other reasons too for this fault. Contact any experienced service technician.

Sony KDF-50E2000 shuts down and blinks repeatedly twice.

The 2 blink error is a temperature error and the 6 blink error is a thermal fuse error. You may need to unplug the set and get you a can of canned air, take off the back lower cover and blow out all of the fans inside the set.

My Sony Bravia turns itself off Stand by red light blinks twice.

If you bought it brand new from a dealer, I would take it back or have them come out and look at it. Less than a month old, it is still under the 1 year MFG warranty or the very best a 30 day one.

Samsung dlp hdtv turns itself off

I worked on one of these for a few weeks. if you dont mind a little inconvenience you can remove the back lower cover and defeat the bulb door switch and it will run. the last one i had like this we could not find the problem even with samsung tech support. changed many parts in the mean time. its heat related but the lamp heat sensor in our case was not the problem.

Sony 46" lcd turns off by itself and will not power up again.

Sony TVs come with a one year warranty on parts and labor. Call Sony at 1-800-222-SONY They will find a local company to service this product.

These TVs have a self-diagnostic screen that a tech can access to help solve the problem. Your problem could be any number of things including the fan(s) stopping, the ballast board failing, Q-box issue or none of the above.

KDF-46E2000 turns off then back on by its self

* Most common would be a couple of capacitors in the power supply that are not letting the proper voltage to the lamp.
* The lamp itself is not working properly.
