-   We just hooked up Verizon Fios Hi Def this morning (9-10-08) to our 1 week old 42" LG 1080p. The off and on problem did not start until the HD cable and all the channels tuned in.. Now, it cuts off and on for the first 3-5 minutes. After a few minutes the problem goes away. Its like something has to get warmed up or the HD is searching for a channel.

My 50 inch LG had this problem after a power outage. Called LG and tried the reset, but it did not work. What I did was turn on all the electronics attached to the tv, dvd player, satellite receiver, WII, Apple tv and then started hitting the input button which would take the tv from standby mode (red light) to on mode (green light) for about 2 seconds. As I flipped through the inputs finally the tv's green light stayed on as the tv was trying to reset and acquire the signal. When the green line came on I started using the remotes for the other electronics and then the tv acquired the signal from the satellite receiver and reset. Started working perfectly again.

I have the same problem with my LG LC37D. It just started this week but does not happen every time, I was able to watch TV for 2 hrs yesterday, but I am worried to watch anymore, I don't want to ruin it for good.

Comment by Tracelini, posted on Jul 22, 2008

We have the same problem with our LG 50" Plasma. Turns off within seconds of turning on. Thought it might be wrong cable connector, but can't seem to figure out. Any thoughts? We're calling for service.

Comment by Guest, posted on Jul 22, 2008

Same problem with ours. I am curious what you had to do to fix it and how much did it cost. It appears to be a widespread issue from reviewing other sites.
