My rca 52 inch hdtv turns itself off after a few minutes
We turn the tv on and then within a few minutes, it is back off, we have had 2 services guys come out and try to fix it, and this has cost us 300.00 so far, the tv is just over 1 year old, I bought Rca because of the name, now I am extremely dissatisfied, I expected it to last a little bit longer for the price I paid, Now the image goes to a green and then off, sometimes we just get sound for a few minutes. Can anyone help me.
thanks

My problem is that when you turn the TV on there is a loud humming noise. I have had the cable company come out and there is nothing wrong with the line. the sound is coming from the TV.I have had the tv serviced and they ar indicating that its some type of sound board that can only be purchased overseas and that is going to take about 8-12 weeks maybe longer because this part is only made once a year......

We are having the same problem. the tv turns off by itself and then back on. We had this tv about a year. We are having the same problem. the tv turns off by itself and then back on. We had this tv about a year.
I will have the repair man out one last time to try this solution thank you for some direction. Do you know if RCA will do anything about this problem being the TV is so new? Please respond to me at [email protected]
We are in need of it fixed as my husband is going thru chemo and really needs to have something to keep his mind busy. Thanks again

I have the same problem. My tv was in storage for 3 months. It worked fine before it went to storage. We got everything unpacked and when we turned on the tv it turned itself off after about 5-6 seconds. I eventually got it to work that night after turning it off and on multiple times. The next day it would just turn itself off after 5-6 seconds. It has not worked again. What is wrong with it?I have the same problem. My tv was in storage for 3 months.

Re: my rca 52 inch hdtv turns itself off after a few...
Sounds like the green tube shorting intermittantly. Have a qualified tech use a tube restorer to check for shorts, or the loss of the 300v line to the green tube.

It has you Posted as a projection TV and Not DLP, if Fan to Lamp stops running set will shut off to protect Lamp,I had a DLP that would play sometimes 30 mins then shut off drove me crazy trying to firgure it out and it turn out to be Fan would stop running I replaced Fan TV working fine . When you remove back engage toggler switch to up position put a piece of tape on it to hold it is a safty switch ,then turn tv on watch to see if all fans are running also if when tv trys to come on is there a spark coming from Ballast Board if so your new Lamp is defective it does happen if not your ballast board maybe Bad it is what turns on Lamp.If all fans are running Ballast Board.
Your TV is overheating.. easiest remedy is to point a fan at the back of the TV or... clean the inside of the TV, Im sure its full of dust and stuff... this prevents air circulation inside the TV thus creating more heat...
Please post the model number of your RCA as usually its a bad flyback and start up capacitor when you get a 3 blink error code . But I can help you better if I have the model number of your set.
My RCA 52 inch was doing the same thing. TV guy had me use a regular hair blower blowing very hot on the power supply board ( bottom left in back). After a few minutes the tv would come on. He replaced 2 capacitors, charged me $100.00, plus the $95.00 service call, and is working fine now. This was a month ago. So far so good. He only took the board to the shop, not the entire tv. Hope this helps.
yes it could ba the cable itself even, but i suspect more the tuner circuit or tuner itself may have bad solder connections. Here is another test for you to try, plug another dvd or vcr, or xbox etc. into the back, using one odf the inputs. See if this works like the built in dvd. if so it will be more likely bad connections in the tuner or surrounding circuit.
good luck.
