Tv turns on then clicks off

Question

well if its a ghost..he is welcome here. i had this tv a few years back and i had webtv hooked to it. it also has the small second screen that pops up to watch 2 shows at a time on it.

it just all the sudden clicked off and does click on again. its been in the basement so i thought i would try it again. i plug it in i click it on and it immediately clicks off. i must unplug it and replug it in agian to get it to click on and click right off again. i wonder if its worth repairing.

Answer 1

sounds like a bad power supply or bad horizontal output transistor, estimated repair about $200 (Not worth fixing)  

Answer 2

Check your menu and adjust the "sleep" mode.  Some tv's can be adjusted to shut off at a certain time in case you fall asleep with it on.

Answer 3

maybe its a ghost

Answer 4

Hard to tell without a Brand and Model.

Best guess based on the description is it's a Mitsubishi.

Bad connections on yoke

bad connections or bad vertical output Ic

shorted convergence amp ic's

bad HV regulator

Needs a technician no matter what kind it is.
