Westinghouse LV 19w3 LCD TV shuts off on its own. Sometimes it will come back on immediately on its own, sometimes you can turn it back on immediately, sometimes you can't turn it on until hours later. Any idea on what is wrong and what needs to be fixed or replaced?
-   My TV shuts off 3-5 times in teh 1st 30 minutes. After that it is fine. I've done the hard shut down (unplugged) and changed my cable box. still have the same problem. Also, it does not always turn on easily, it takes numerous clicks of remote or power button clicks.-   lindasj

I purchased the unit about 1 year ago and would appreciate any information that could be offered.-   Guest

Ok, I send mine to be repaired. This is what they told me. Even if the power supply says that it needs a power adapter of 3.4A. It really need 4.74 or more. They used a universal power adapter like that and it worked without problems. Now I need to ask you if you know exactly the tip inside and outside dimensions to be able to buy a new power adapter. someone told me that it was a 6.5 OD and 3.0 ID
Let me know if this is true, thank you.
The same thing was happening to mine and the problem was in the power supply. Apparently, there was a loose connection causing it to go in and out. The round connector end that plugs into the monitor has two prongs on the inside. I was able to bend each prong toward the center with a thumb tack so that it would have a tighter connection, and it now works fine. Unplug from wall before working on the prongs.
the power supply over heats and shuts off it cant handle the heat i bought the other power supply for this tv and its still no good its the same voltage but for some reason on the new power supply they increased the amprage making it heat up even faster they just need to make the right power supply

My LG 42 flat screen tv switches itself to different modes and even turns on and off. Is it a sensor that needs cleaning or something like that? or is it a deffect of the tV?
