WE WERE WATCHING TV THE OTHER NIGHT & IT JUST SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. LEFT IT ALONE FOR 30 MIN & TURNED IT BACK ON & THE PICTURE WAS LIGHT BLUE. IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AFTER 30 SEC. I TRIED IT AGAIN THE NEXT DAY THE PICTURE CAME ON FOR A MINUTE & THEN WENT BLUE AGAIN & OFF. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO. THANKS!

Power supply issue.

It could be the temp sensor going bad. This sensor sits on top of the metal housing which the bulb assembly slides into. The bulb assembly will have a hole on top and this is where the sensor is above. There is a small blue and white wire that plugs into it. If you pull the wire out and put a paper clip or wire in the coupling you will basically bypass the sensor connecting the blue and white wire. If your tv turns on then that is your problem. Its cheap too. Here were my symptoms..1] Turn tv on 2] Bulb would light up..(which eliminates the ballast) regular picture would show up (which eliminates the bulb and color wheel) 3] 30 seconds later tv would shut down with 3 flashing lights. After bypass the tv turned on as always and hasnt shut down yet. Always un plug tv first. Get the replacement part to avoid overheating and possible fire

LOOKS LIKE YOUR CONVEGENCE IC ARE SHORT UNWELD BOTH IC AND TURN TV ON IF IT STAYS ON 450 DOLLASR TO REPAIR

I'm not sure what TV model you have. But, thing I can tell you is the most common problem.
Most of the time with flat panel TVs, the power supply for the screen fails. And the TV normally turns itself off to protect other parts in the TV from being damaged. Basically " Protection Mode".

You can try leaving the TV unplugged for 30 minutes so the TV can reset itself; then try again turning it on. If it doesn't work after that, it's time for the TV repair shop.

I think the problem with the remote control it malfunction take the remote control away from the tv
and test the tv

I had the same problem and one time the tv came on by itself
now i took the remote control away and testing the tv
now for 15 min. so far so good
try it and let me know

This TV has reached the end of its (short) life. Needs to be replaced.

You can try looking at what kind of TV it is, what model, and look at the manufacturer's web site, check for the manual, look up what it means when the green light flashes. Might be a code that means something but I think the TV is dead.

For the first one, please list the model number and count the blinks. Also, can you please post each problem separately. It will get too confusing trying to address 3 sets with different but similar problems.
Thanks,
Dan

This may denote a proble in either your switching powers supply or your Horizontal section derived high voltage power supply. These are both very dangerous sections in your television. My next question is important; do you have a background in electronics? If not I would not advise you working on this problem yourself and that you take the TV to a repair shop for servicing. If you do have some background in electronics, I would like for you to make the following obeservations: What was the TV doing (it actions)prior to it going out? Did you hear any sounds before it went out like buzzing or crackling? What do you hear when you try to turn it on now, clicking? These questions are just to develop some background into what might be happening to your set. Thank you, Shuttle83

No reset button, try unplugging the set for 1 min, the plug back in, otherwise Tv Tech time.
