Why Intermitant Power Loss

My TV turns off on on for no apparent reason. While I'm watch it it shuts off and then turns back on again by itself. It's about 6 years old. If I turn it off for about a half an hour the problem gets better.

Its probably a Power Supply failure replacing it will mostly fix your problem

SOURCE: tv turns off after 15 minutes of use

For bobby11 and luis, it is the power supply. Part Number EAY34797001 in the 42" and EAY34796801 in the 32". This is a known problem, and somebody should start a Class Action against LG over this one. Part is available online and easy to swap out for anyone with the most basic knowledge.

The lamp is most likely over heating. Check the fan in the lamp assembly compartment. Its located in the rear of the tv... try removing the lamp compartment and replacing the fan.

A quick fix is to put a small 7-10 inch box fan with its back flush to the lamp
compartment's vent - this will draw the heat out.

SOURCE: power loss

I had the same problem. I replaced the power supply board and everything is good as new. Part numbers I ordered were 6871TPT303B (PSU board) and 6631T20037D (cable assembly). Total cost was about $145 and it took less than 20 minutes to fix. I believe Bestbuy Partsearch has the board and the cable, but I ordered mine through www.encompassparts.com/lgconsumer.

My Toshiba rear projection TV -43hx71 is periodically turning itself off and on while we are watching a program. What could this be?

Hi,
When tv shuts down for some reason, does it turn on again itself or you need to press power button to turn it On?
Let me know how old is this tv and any other related info that you think might be helpful to diagnose problem.
Thanks.

Loss of power

Check the fuse first! It is located inside TV on the PCB.

If the fuse blows again after replacing, there is a power supply circuit fault in your TV.

Mine just started this recently.

Sounds like the battery is not charging. My solution was to use a small screwdriver to move the charger pin in the power adapter hole in the under off center. That gave it better contact, it began to charge properly and fixed my issue.

TV only 2 months old ceases to work

Hi

I think it is the EHT for some reason it blew off for you. You got a miniature picture after you turned it on again because it was partially damaged and then it blew off completely. It can be fixed from a competent person.
