I have a Toshiba TP50G60 Rear-Projection 50" TV. It only stays on for a few seconds and then turns off. I heard this is a common problem for this type of t.v.. Is it a lost cause? If not, what should I do to get this fixed. would really appreciate some help Thanks a lot.

check the stk 392-12- or 110 if the stk are bad the set will on turn on at all

it was on the video output module, check bad resistor near the video output module..

let me know

check the usual things first:

Speakers in set did not get switched to OFF instead of ON.

If using a box, or receiver that the sound is not turned down or low--not a bad idea to unplug units one at a time and plug back to allow them to reboot.

If set has connections for external speakers make sure they did not (either in menu or rear of set) get set to external.

Look to see if a DVD player or similar hooked to rear audio and video inputs works and has sound.

Your TV is going into shutdown mode. The most common cause is a problem in the convergence IC's. Both chips will have to be replaced and at a cost of around $350 for most shops. Thx

common problems on toshiba are the stk ic and it is not ease to replace them you will need a technician

The convergence I/c's are shorted.
