Are you connecting the tv to your source using the DVI, component (Red Green Blue + 2), or composite (Red, Yellow, White)?

Try switching the type of connection you are using. If you are connected via component, then switch to composite. If the problem persists even on composite connectors, then the issue lies with the TV. If the composite cable works fine, then the problem is most likely the cable you are using.

Press the sleep button, and make sure the sleep timer is set to OFF.

Unplugging the TV from the wall outlet resets the TV.

If you have a cable or satellite box connected to the TV, then try resetting the box also by turning off/unplugging from wall outlet.

Surge protectors can cause some occasional anomalies with LCD TV's (they're still a good idea) - just reset the TV to clear up these anomalies.

    Just to clarify - I didn't mean that anything had been connected or disconnected. I just mean that the RF cable might be bad. We can check to see if this is true, by conencting the cable box to the TV with a different type of cord other than RF.

I wonder if there is anyone that can tell me why Haier 32in.flat screen tv just shuts down and the is still on but no sound or picture is showing could someone tell me what the problem is ?

Sounds like the power supply board is going out on it. I'm a t.v. repairman and many times, I just replace the capacitors on the power supply board and they work great. If you aren't qualified do not attempt this yourself. High voltage will kill. Not worth it, take it into a shop.

Loud schreikin noise and cuts off.

it sounds as thought the main-board of the TV is arching or shorting out. This is due to a faulty component in the power section of the TV . It is about to completely go out.
The main board need to be checked for bad components.

Picture goes bad when playing Verizon Fios DVR or On Demand

I had issues when I set an SD override for the box, it would sometimes display as bad input when switching to HD content(as well as display all menus in SD even with HD mode in settings.) Turning that off in settings (also turned off "modes" which has no description) stopped it and gave me guide/menus in HD.
