TV power goes off after 2 minutes 45 seconds

Hi,

The short in the plug would not have caused any problem internally to the AudioVox. I would suspect another problem (electronic). Your description of the bright line at the very top of the screen is indicative of a possible vertical capacitor about to fail. Having said that, it is also probable that the vertical IC could be affected and thus the unit goes into shutting down to prevent further damage.

If you are comfortable and familiar working with electronic circuitry and components, use of a DVM and a soldering iron, then a DIY would be relatively easy. Access to a service manual or at the very least a schematic diagram with voltage readings would be of great help narrowing the defective components.

Should you venture into doing it yourself, pls post back, otherwise perhaps you would be better off seeking the services of a qualified professional.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Check the capacitors and the voltage regulator. The parts should be able to be purchased from an electronics store like Radio Shack.

Let me know if you have any further questions or if you need help knowing how to do this,

good luck

The power from the outlet is high check the voltage at the connections this may short in the wiring of the van please check all the connections and for parts:
