Samsung 1080p turns itself off

Our television is less than 2 years old and in the last month it has started to turn itself off. It happens most frequently when the TV is just turned on. There is no pattern to it at all. Sometimes it goes 5 minutes and sometimes it's fine for a couple of hours and then just turns off. It appears to happen the most when it's just been turned on after being off for several hours. Does anyone have a solution for this? We have removed the surge protector, checked all the connections, dusted fastidiously around the rear of the TV.....we're out of solutions here!

    I have exactly the same problem with the same TV samsung HL-R5678W bought also in 2005. Haven't figured it out yet. Have you tried calling Samsung?

    I'm having the same problem. I just got a new Tivo HD and hooked it up to my HDMI and the tv turns it self off about every 10-15 mins. It does not seem to do it on another input. HDMI causing the problem?

    Thanks

    Mine not only turns itself off, but it also turns itself on in the middle of the night. I have to turn the set completely off with the surge protector.

    After being off overnight, it takes 5-25 times turning it on before it stays on. It shuts off after a few seconds to a few minutes. Eventually it will stay on but it's getting to be a real pain.

Probably a bad Inverter board. I have a Dell 32" LCD TV but it has a Samsung Panel inside, found a burnt transformer on the inverter board, Still trying to find a replacement.


My TV comes on for a second then goes black, power still shows on but no picture. 1.5 years old

If you are not a tech person, take it in for service.

Insignia lcd 37''powering off and right back on by itself!

Hi Ed,
Since the TV is less then a year old and still under manufacturers warranty, I would suggest to take back to the vendor to get it fix because this LCD behavior is not going to get any better.
The failure on this TV is related to a power supply in most cases if the TV is turning OFF by itself or needs to be unplug to let cooldown and it works afterward.

14 MONTH OLD TOSHIBA TURNS OFF BY ITSELF

I repair a lot of these and a average tv lasts like 3 years . It is not like the old days. I suspect the lamp or fans or therm protector.

I would call a local tv shop see what they charge for estimate it might be worth his estimate to find out what it is.


Thanks doctor video

Telly turns itself off

Hi there!
Have you checked for loose connection on the mains plug wires or perhaps a faulty mains adaptor. Otherwise it can be dry joints in the power supply or perhaps capacitors which have failed. If not sure refer to a repairer. Good Luck,JUS004

Samsung HL-R5067W "Powering Down"

the hlr series had a few problem with intermittent turning off. one was the lamp door cover switch, the other was the thermostat.. neither one is very costly and a good tech should be able to replace bothe parts at the same time..
