Help: Sanyo TV switching on/off intermittently!

Options
Hello everyone,

My TV started this madness few days ago. It continue to switch on and off intermittently. What can i do?

Thanks

  • Is it switching 'OFF' or just going into standby ? If the latter then its usually a power supply problem and its a protection against doing any real damage to the TV.
  • Its just switching off. I replace the TV and the new one is working perfectly.

    Does that mean i should throw away that one?

    No. As AndysDad said, it could just be the power supply.
    You'd be better getting it looked at as CRT tubes hold some serious voltage (assuming it's a CRT and not flat screen). There are plenty of places that do free quotes.

    Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.

    Does this occur when you have low energy bulbs on in the room?
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
