    My Sylvania LC370SL8 that shut off immediately after turning on. (with remote and power button) The screen flashes digital television then shuts down. Power light stays on like it's going to sleep. I can't keep the tv on long enough to check anything. Any suggestions are appreciated.

A bad inverter board will produce this exact symptom. They are commonly available on EBay for about $60 USD The part number is. 1FSA10164 It should take about 20 minutes to replace without great difficulty.

If you or someone you know is good at component level PC Board repair this issue is almost always a bad transformer. All it takes is for one of the 6 transformers to have and open winding and the TV will start breifly and then shut down because it has a comparator circuit that monitors all 6 outputs to the lamps. If one of the outputs is missing the TV goes into "Protection Mode" and shuts itself down. The individual transformers can be checked by using a digital multimeter and checking resistance of the windings, should be about 2.7 MOhm, if one reads Zero Ohms, replace it. (You can check the resisitance while they are soldered to the board. Power down the set and let it sit for a bit them remove the connectors and the 6 mounting screws to pull the card.) The transformers are available for $4.95 from Electronica-usa.com the part number is LTZ2PCOMS008 (and yes the shipping costs more than the part, but still cheaper than tossing the TV)

My tv has a problem staying on and sometimes it turns it self off and turns it self back on and has become more frequent with turning it self off

Check the electrical outlet which the tv is plugged into. Make sure nothing is loose at the outlet as well as on the back of the tv where the power cable plugs in.
Another thing to try is plug a different device into that same electrical outlet and see if it turns on/off as well. If that device also turns on/off by itself, it could be a faulty outlet.

Samsung 650 series fflat screen turn power on tv turns it self on and off many times by itself befor it stays on now it wont stay on only turns on and off

My research indicated that the problem is related to the power supply over heating. My wife suggested that we place our small 6" fan behind the tv. We did & the tv has not shut off for three days. Hope this works for you.

This seems to be a problem in the Power Supply I would think. Either that or a fault that is overloading the PSU.
This means a trip to the repair shop.
