Some times I turn the TV on, after 20 minutes more or less, the tv turns off, it keeps turning on and off after that none stop untill I take the power cord off. If I take the power cord off and put it right back on, turn the tv on, it shuts right back off and stays off. If i take the power cord off and leave it off for like 30 minutes and put it back on, turn the TV on, and it works for another 20 to 30 minutes, than it starts all over again. What is the problem? What can I do to fix it?
Hello,
The best way to fix this is by opening the back cover of the television set.
The power light may be flashing or if you are runing with a series light bulb it may be cycling on and off continuously. There may be a chirping or clicking sound from inside the set. (Note: using too small a series light bulb load during testing for the size of the TV may also result in this condition.)
If there is a low voltage regulator or separate switching supply, it could be cycling on and off if the horizontal output, flyback, or one of its secondary loads were defective.
Does this TV have a separate low voltage regulator and/or switching power supply or is it all part of the flyback circuit? For the following, I assume it is all in one (most common).
Some simple things to try first:
Verify that the main filter capacitor is doing its job. Excessive ripple on the rectified line voltage bus can cause various forms of shutdown behavior. An easy test is to jumper across the capacitor with one of at least equal voltage rating and similar capacitance (make connections with power off!).
Use a Variac, if possible, to bring up the input voltage slowly and see if the TV works at any point without shutting down. If it does, this could be an indication of X-ray protection circuit kicking in, though this will usually latch and keep the set shut off if excessive HV were detected.

TV will not hardly turn back on, sometimes takes hours. We just leave on 24 hours now.
