It will sometimes stay on for a few seconds,It then begins to flicker. Some time it will go for days without any troubleshooting. I will turn it off for a few hours. When I restart it up again, It will turn itself off and the trouble starts all over again. Is the switch causing the problem? HELP!!!!!!!!!
No the switch if working fine. It is a momentary contact switch. Check the air vents all around the tv, Vacuum the vents if possible so air can circulate. Next there is a protection circuit built in to the system called to power on self test. if test results are ok the tv will go on. If not the tv may go on but flicker on or off and then no tv.
The power supply board is notorious for failing that way. Some can be replaced most have to be repaired to the component level. Try the Vacuum first before opening it up cause it is a lot of work on the dining room table, There is a small power relay that is located on the power board which actually controls the main A.C. to the whole set. I have seen them intermittent before causing that problem but it has to be soldered in place and a lot of electronic components can be destroyed by just you touching it. Be careful, Good Luck, Bill

MY TV KEPT GETTING WORSE EACH DAY ALSO. BUY A CAN OF SPRAY AIR WITH THE EXTENSION SPRAY TUBE. WHEN YOU GET THE TV RUNNING SPRAY THROUGH THE HOLES IN THE BACK RIGHT ONTO THE FAN BLADES OF BOTH FANS. THE DUST WILL FLY OFF THE BLADES. A VACUMM HOSE WILL HELP PULL OUT THE DUST. ALSO SRAY THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD FOR DUST. I APPEARS THE FANS SLOW DOWN WITH DIRT ON THEM AND THE EXTRA HEAT BUILD UP JUST AFTER THE TV IS SHUT DOWN IS CAUSING THE POWER SUPPLY TO BE IN A SHUT DOWN MODE WHEN POWERED UP THE NEXT TIME. BEEN TWO WEEKS NOW AND WORKS PERFECTLY NOW AGAIN.
