It could be due to overheating or a capacitor issue. DIY would involve use of a multimeter and a lot of patience and knowledge to track the specific problem. It is pretty clear it is not a timer issue as the TV remains on only 5 seconds. A repair at a shop could cost hundreds. The model has not been listed, rendering it impossible to even look up the troubleshooting section of a manual much less find a part. You might google the brand and model and the problem and find something or try forums or support for the TV on the manufacturer's site. I think it long odds to find its service manual posted but you can try googling such a search. I presume you have covered the basics such as a bad power supply cord. Worn wiring could cause such an effect.

That sounds like an overheating issue. Check the air vents in the back and edges. Look inside for a cooling fan.

go into tv set up see if on test

Mine started to do the same today Seiki SE43FGT 30sec to 1 minute then auto shutdown. Funny I've seen 3 other posts from today Dec 1st with same problem

Have a read of this cautionary tale. https://www.fixya.com/support/r29790007-repairing_own_television ..

Try cleaning the connectors going from the main to tcon to the panel, then a new tcon board if the set has one, if not you have a bad panel and it's not fixable if the other ideas don't work

Someone spill some paint?

There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Service mode entry, adjust and exit procedure to many popular brand TVs are given. Never forget to exit the service mode, after all adjustments have been done.

DOES A DVD DRIVE FAIL AS INPUT. WE HAVE ZERO CLUES WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING AND IF AN INPUT GOES DEAD THE TV WILL SLEEP (FOR THE eco REASON AND BURN LCD REASONS)

And my own advice after seeing the issues that happen when Average Joe decides to fix his own television. It follows on from 'DIY Brain Surgery for Beginners', and seldom ends well. https://www.fixya.com/support/r29790007-repairing_own_television ..

Part of the problem is it's a Seiki TV, not the best brand

The tint is one of the auto settings, change them to manual or user and you will see the tint setting return

When it turns off is it like it's unplugged or does it show a standby light?

Are the speakers turned on? If so it's going to be a bad main board, on some Seiki sets the main and power board are all in one

Reset it, google can help walk you through that, i have had these same problems

Hold down the physical power button the side of the television for 20 seconds. The television will automatically reboot into normal mode while you hold down the power button after that point.

The problem is it's a Seiki, not exactly a good brand

Question edited for clarity and correct maker name.A fuse is a one shot deal, it protects against voltage short circuits. It is either good, or it is blown. If your set comes on, it is working just fine.I just read this a few minutes ago https://www.fixya.com/support/t29852580-seiki_keeps_turning_off_every_3_4#cmnt_3673557 It seems you have the same issue Nanette. ..

That is normally overheating or capacitor issues.
