The next time it shuts down (I presume the green power light goes off) do the self check this model has, on front of set press and hold both the menu and input buttons for at least five seconds and release both.
Power light will blink a 2 digit error code like : 1 blink, 2 blink and repeat it several times.
1,2 is no error detected but there are other codes.
Let me know what you find.

Unplug set and try again to be sure but 2,3 is Horizontal deflection failure------means something in your set in the Horizontal sweep circuit is causing it, It could be a bad solder connection or even a Issue with Glycol.
You have Yahoo IM or Skype IM?
I can explain here but it takes of course longer.
Unplugging the set and testing again after it fails will confirm (unplugging clears error memory) the 2,3 error code.
Let me know if I can help, I am here to help you!

SD Tech, My TV decided to work a while.............Yes the green power lite went off when the TV shut off........so I unpluged the TV and pluged it back in after about 15 mintues. When it shut off again I checked the error code on TV ........blink, blink, pause, blink, blink, blink and did this about 4-5 times...... which to me is code 23. Yes I do have yahoo IM but I'm not on here all the time. I'm a pretty good mechanic, but I'm not that great with TV stuff, but I'll try to do anything you need me to do on this end of it. Okeejoe
Very unlikely with 2,3 error---might be a glycol issue
You got Skype IM or Yahoo IM?

Does this problem have anything to do with ......I think they call them IC chips ??????? STK 392-??? Maybe ??????
I have the same problem w/respect to the tv shutting down for no apparent reason. Further, the amount of time that needs to pass before I can turn the tv back on again and the length of time the tv stays on before shutting off varies. Sometimes it stays on for an hour or so and sometimes it stays on for several hours. What can I do to resolve this problem? Pls help!!
This is really a problem an expert would have to look for----could be poor or cracked solder connections or other things are possible---when it goes out does power light go out also?
The problem has gotten worse. I'll send you an email to follow up.
