This has nothing to do with the power cord. The tv shuts down because a part (or the soldering to it) fails when heated.
On a tv this old it's almost always the filtering capacitors from the power source: when heated they lose their filtering capacity so the voltage which they are supposed to stabilize becomes erratic so the tv's control processor crashes, shutting down the tv. This is how you replace them

But you must inspect every single soldering in there, with a magnifying glass, to avoid some nasty surprises later on.
This may not be the power cord as you think , if so the cord must have a poor contact with the mains plug which makes less contact heating the points to spark and cut off. If so use a low grade emery paper to clean the plug points of the TV. make sure there is good connection with the mains socket. if this is the plug , you can cut the plug off and install a new one.
However if you want to change the power cord, buy a good replacement type with the correct rating , remove the rear cover, take the power cord wires from the main board and replace.
Please check your power supply, the main mother board for possible DRY SOLDERING JOINTS that seems to cause this shut OFF's.
Why do you think replacing the power cord will cure the problem? It most likely won't. The chances are that it is switching off due to overheating. Have you checked any fans fitted are spinning properly or are not blocked with dust. If ther are no fans there is probably a capacitor in the power supply needs replacing.
This is not a power cord issue. Your tv is going into protect mode, which happens when something creates an overload on a circuit. My money would be on faulty capacitors.What is the status of the LED at the front when the set goes off?
Hi,
This is an internal failure. This is not a problem with a fuse or power cord. This is really common on this set. Before we proceed further, wanted to have few more details :-
1. How old is the set?
2. Any noise that you hear?
3. Is the picture is fine when you turn on the TV?
Let me know,if needed further assistance.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
Thanks for your response!!
How long ago you have changed the bulb?
Be advised that as i am not there, i could only present few possibilities that you need to eliminate after inspecting and testing the TV.Other than this, it could be an issue with power board/ deflection board / main board. If you have the TV repair experience, revert and i could provide few pointers that would be helpful
Let me know,so that we could proceed.
Hope i helped you.

You are most welcome to consult other experts, however there is no temperature control. This is a common problem. I am not sure, few questions :-
1. How did you determine power cord as a fault?
2. Temp control sensor????
I am sorry, however, speculation is not a solution for TV repair.I wish it could have been a simple solution. I am even willing to help you to get this repaired if you have any repair experience. The only reason to respond is to make sure you does not do anything that would either damage the TV or YOU.These are not flat panel TV's that you could easily open and repair. In my country, we usually have a certificate to perform repair on these TV's.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks and Regards
