Hi Kathy!

Sounds like it could be either a power supply or inverter board. Could be easy or quite difficult to replace, depending on the manufacturer. Same thing goes with the price to fix.

What kind of TV do you have? Make and model # would be greatly appreciated!

Hope this helps!

SOURCE: No Power

It appears that the power supply is starting to fail. It is also possible that there is another board in the set that is over-loading the supply.

The nature of the fault indicates the strong possibility that there are some parts that have become thermo sensitive. This is not a reset problem going by your description. Unplugging the set, is allowing the boards to cool down, and therefore they will work for a while until the thermo sensitive parts heat up again.

SOURCE: tv shuts off after only a minute of play

Hi!

Sounds like you have a bad power supply board! This is not hard to do yourself, as long as you are somewhat handy! Take the case apart (back side), and look for some bad caps (capacitors) on the power supply board. They will look bulged on the top an may be a little leaky (brownish stain).

If you see this problem, you can buy a new power supply at www.shopjimmy.com or ebay. You will need the make and model, of your tv to order! Good luck, I hope this is helpful!!

SOURCE: 3 YEAR OLD SANYO DP 32746. SHUT ITSELF OFF, CAN NOT TURN BACK ON

If you leave the tv unplugged for 2 days (atleast) then plug it back in and try to turn it on and if it comes on its the power supply board. If it comes back on it will probably shut off between 30min to 4hrs and you would have to unplug it for 2 days again. All the power needs to drain out of the tv. If thats the case take the back pannel off and check the part number out on the internet. Not hard to do becarefull touching things the power supply does store a little bit or shock in it. Good Luck.

Testimonial: "while we did not unplug the set, we let it sit for 2 days and we were able to turn it on by the remote & manually....does that still sound like P/S"

My Water Tech Blue Diamond w/rc is having a problem.I replaced all drive belts as one was frayed.When I put it in the pool,only one side turns to propel the unit.It turns itself off in 2 or 3 minutes.

We have no way to give repair estimated due to the fact that rep[air costs very by region and by the by the business that does the work, get three estimates.

Insignia lcd tv shuts off after 2-3 seconds

The TV seems to have a failing Power Supply. This could potentially be repaired but would be an out of warranty expense.

Was playing a game, and the system shut itself off. When I turn it on, it beeps a few times and shuts off again. Help?

Unplug all cables on your PS3 and disc storage for 2 to 3 minutes.
If this does not solve the problem find a local electronic repair shop or service center near you and let them take a look to determine what is the actual problem..

Monitor just turns itself off after 2 sec.

disconnect all the cables except the power cable and then turn the monitor on you would see a test screen if it still happens your monitor is faulty and better buy a new one as repairing is usually expensive .

I turn my ps3 on then it goes green then to yellow then beeps 3 times and turns itself off. What is wrong?

First the Reason for Yellow Light

If the hard-drive fails on the PS3 you may get a solid yellow led, The yellow light will show if the console is overheating as well, but the console shuts down so you don't it for long.


1)Turn off your playstation 3. If you think your ps3 has been caught by the heat, then wait at least 20 minutes and put it back on again

2) Check if there's any loose cable.

3) Try to put out your playstation's hard-drive, and put it back in. You might want to repeat this 2-3 times for better results.

If this did not work, then it is suggested to send your PS3 for repairs to Sony Customer Support
