I have a 2008 ViewSonic N4785p. It will turn itself off and on with no patterns or reason. Any suggestions?

It is random. It sometimes will shut itself off every 30 seconds for a few minutes or turn itself on randomly

SOURCE: Random shut-off

The number one thing I have found with intermitent shutdown is the lamp door switch in the up position.
This series of models came back from the factory with the switch in the up position and it needs to be in the down position.
Take a flash light and look through the slots on the lower left side of the lamp door in the back of the set. If you can see the top of switch, then, thats whats causing your problem.
Take off the door, there is a tab that holds the switch down. Reseat the door and check the switch again with a flashlight. If it is down, then the problem is solved. If it is up, try again.
If you have anymore problems or questions, reply to this post and I will respond.

I had the same issue with my LG Vx8700 phone. Turned out to be the phone and not the parrot. Am on my third replacement Vx8700 and it is working fine for now.

THE SWITCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS PROBABLY GOING BAD OR HAS A LOOSE CONNECTION THAT IS GROUNDING OUT AND COMPLETETING THE CIRCUIT AT RANDOM. I REALLY DONT KNOW HOW OR WHY SHUTTING IT OFF WOULD TEPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM BUT WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE BELIEVE ME. ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT THE WIRING AND THE HORN ITSELF TO SEE IF EVERYTHING LOOKS OK THERE.

Make sure the PC itself is not going into a power saving or screen saver mode...this is the most common issue when playing completely automated presentations or movies.
Normally, I suggest turning off all power saving functions in the PC or Laptop, and disabling the screen saver all together.

A problem like this can be caused by RF interference. Shut it all down again and move the converter, any cordless or cell phones, wireless PC's, routers, etc. so nothing is within 3 feet of your set. A poor ground on your converter can also cause RF interference. Make sure you have a grounded plug going to it, and it is connected to a grounded wall outlet....likewise for your set....and by no means have it near a microwave oven!

Replacement mainboard for viewsonic n4785p lcd tv

Go to store.viewsonic.com then find the link to the parts store at the bottom of that page. I only would do it after you have verified the warranty is expired per Viewsonic. If it is OOW, then you can call them for a service manual that contains schematics, troubleshooting flowcharts, etc.

Viewsonic N3000w LCD TV randomly shuts off...

It seems that the power fails quite often with this one burning the Inverter boards transformers. OZ960G chip may not be broken, so try getting a new power from somewhere. Measure the transformers. suppose to be somewhat 5 ohms. tolerance is +-1.5 ohm. of more, replace.
