Tv turns on, but when you turn it off it won't turn back on.

Tv will turn on, and stay on, but if I turn it off ,or the power gets disconnected, it refuses to turn back on. Sometimes this lasts for days, and then it will turn on as if nothing was wrong, and even work normally for a time. As I usually just leave it on for weeks at a time, I'm not really sure how long it works normally. Also, I could be wrong, but it seems like if I leave it plugged in the odds of it working go down.

Thanks for the speedy response.

It's been out for about 30 hours now, usually it takes a few days for the power to work normally, and I'd gather it works normally for a few hours or even days as well.

But once it's been on awhile, and it gets shut off, it usually takes awhile for it to turn back on.

I'm not really in the position to get a new tv, so maybe I'll crack this sucker open and check it out. If anything good happens I'll report back.

Sounds like its a cold solder connection somewhere in the set or a capacitor thats bad in the power suppy.. These problems are the most dificult to troubleshoot unless they happen all the time.sorry I wish I could give you more info..

My Vizio 4K TV won’t stay turned off! No matter if I use the remote that cane with the tv, the directv remote, or the button on the tv. It will turn off for about 2 seconds and then turn right back on!...

You need to disconnect the power from this tv, then press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds to drain the charge off the circuit boards inside. Then plug it back in and start over. If this does not solve the problem you may need to have it checked out by a repairman. You should still be under warranty so report the problem and file a warranty claim.

How do I fix my panasonic vierra that won't come on after a power outage?

Pull the plug and with the power disconnected hold the power button on for 60 seconds. After at least the 60 seconds plug the tv in and try to start it. If it works great if not , hold the power button in the on position for a count of 20 with the tv plugged in . If theres still no Joy try power with one of your volume buttons at the same time . One of these should provide a hard reset for the tv.

TV wont turn on sometimes. push the on button, light turns from red to blue but no display or sound. If I disconnect the power cord for 15-20 min and plug it back in to the tv it will turn on and stay

My Samsung started doing that and it got worst and worst. Searched the web and find answer. It was the high voltage circuit. All TVs now are like computer and it check for 390 to 400 volts and if it is below, the TV will not turn on. Good thing the Samsung has only one capacitor showing the high voltage circuit. Measure the voltage was 381 volts. The capacitor was rated at 100 uf at 450 volts. From some old TV and power supply, got two capacitors rated 150 uf and 220 uf both at 400 volts. Had to connect them in parallel and took out the old capacitor. Now, my TV works fine.

Samsung plasma won't turn on

Here's is what you need to look for when describing a problem for troubleshooting purposes:

0) What model is the TV (you've covered that)

1) Does the TV respond to command to turn on?
(yes - continue; no - 70% bad power, 30% bad main board)

2) Once it responds (clicks), does a front LED or other indication show that it turns on? It's OK if there's no display.

(that can be model specific and is not certain indication for anything until known what is specific for the model)

3) If such an indication comes up does it remain on until you act or does it go off by itself?
(Stays on - power supply likely good; turns off - power supply *may* be good, but not certain)

4) If the power indication stays on by itself can you make it go off by pressing the power button or do you have to disconnect from AC power?
(responds to power off - 90% power supply likely OK and 90% OK main board; does not respond to power off - 90% bad main board)

Here is a link for test/repair of the power supply of your TV, hope it would help:

does the power light flash three times slowly then stay off? If so chances are its just the CP150, cp120 and CP114 capacitors. There is the RCA repair kit by that same name available from www.tvrepairworld.com which has the capacitors and the CD with repair instructions
