Sometimes the TV will turn off by itself after turning it on. When it turns off, I can press the "Stand By" button, let it set for a few minutes, press the "Stand By" button again and then turn it back on and it will work fine. Sometimes for a few minutes and other times until I am done watching it. Then again sometimes pressing the "Stand By" button and letting it set will do nothing and I have to try it again the next day. It is almost like it has a high limit switch that once it heats up it will shut it down. Can anyone help me?
I had a similar problem with my Phillips 42 in. LCD HD TV.
Here's the problem. The Power Supply Board. I opened my TV
up(warranty was up of course) and found several bad capacitors.
Phillips and several other companies were sold capacitors that although
were highly rated failed within 5 years because of a lack of
preservatives. All sorts of electronic equipment is now being effected
due to these defective capacitors.
Solutions?
1. Take it in and have it fixed
2. Open it up, check the board for faulty capacitors(bulged or leaking) Buy a new Power supply board and install it.
3. Remove PSB, remove faulty capacitors and replace with compatible new ones.
Hope this helps
