Hi,

Offhand and initially, a possible source of part(s) is here. Am not sure how current though the posting is. Pls give it a try.

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.

Hi again,

Appreciate the update. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Cheers.

With no answers to my questions, I merely ask if there is anything else that I can offer in hopes of a response from the asker to my questions which would help solve the problem. I don't post BS and then beg, this isn't begging. I just wish that FIXYA would do something about issues like this

remove all the connection and try to fit somewhere else. the socket which is directly connected to the wall.or then it could be the tube problem inside call some service technician.hope this will help you.

You might want to contact them at http://www.planar.com/Products/TV_Large_Screen/plasma/index.html from there you can go support and then on line custumer service.

Did you get the tv fix?

Do you still have this tv? and is it fixed.

Where did you get the capacitor from?

I have the same problem, with the cover off I used a hair dryer to warm the C18 capacitor then switch the tv on and it works. C18 is located at the top of the power board, thats the second board on the left, it's value is 450wv 330uf. Until I can get the capacitor I leave the back open. Let me know this works for you.

It is the power supply. Replace the C97, C19, and C16 Capacitors with 2.2 uF ones.

The most obvious reason is an overheating issue in the Power Supply board. There are other ideas here, but you need to take it to a television engineer to diagnose https://www.google.com/search?q=television+will+suddenly+turn+off+every+4+minutes ..

Check the internet connection. The television can't update if it can't see the internet. Resetting it breaks the previous settings. Just for fun, reboot the router as well and wait 15 minutes until all the lights come back on. Then reestablish the television connection to the router.

general steps: Get the TV remote control and push the "Menu" button and select "Options". Select "Child Lock" from the "Options" list. On some televisions, the "Child Lock" is named "V-chip". Choose the "Remove Child Lock" selection. Highlight this and then hit the "Enter" button. Enter the four-digit code that you used when you activated the child lock feature. If you cannot remember it, your only option to deactivate the child lock is to reset the TV. The instructions for resetting a TV is written on the user's manual of the TV. Exit the TV menu once you have entered the four-digit code. To do this, press the "Exit" or "Menu" button on the TV's remote control. If you don't have a remote, you might try leaving the TV unplugged overnight. Some TVs will 'forget' their settings if left without power for a long period. You could also potentially buy a cheaper universal remote, and use that to turn off the child lock.

Enter the Code: After seeing the 2 flashes and within 5 seconds, enter the 3-digit numerical code from the list provided with your remote2. After entering the code, the LED will flash twice indicating that the code has been accepted. Test the Remote: Point the remote control towards your TV and press the key. If your TV does not respond by going into Stand-By mode then repeat steps 3 to 5 and enter the next code in the list. Bed.-Anl. H2 Version1 (ruwido.com)
