One of two things can be the problem...one the bulb is bad...two the ballast is bad. If the bulb is not bad then the ballast is...it can usually be fixed by replacing a resistor on the board itself...it is labeled R3 and is a 1000 ohm resistor
I am having this exact problem. The TV turned off by itself and now when I try to turn it on, the power light stays on for a sec and goes of with a click sound.
Sounds like it could be a poor connection in the power plug or a ' dry joint ' on the power board, if it's the latter, it will respond to light thumping at the side of the tv. If that's the case it needs resoldering by a technician..
good luck !
I have the same exact problem with my Go Video 32" HDTV. Yesterday the power stayed on for several hours, now it wont stay on for more than 5 - 8 minutes.
MAGNAVOX TV ONLY. 5-10 SECONDS AFTER TURN ON AUTO TURNS OFF-NO LIGHT STAYS ON-I AM FRUSTRATED BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE OFF ON SWITCH JUST CLICKS BACK TO OFF-ALSO DOES SAME THING BY REMOTE
TV/vcr combo units develop problems in the vcr section,what happens is the cassete assembly draws too much current then the tv senses this increase and it says NO and shuts down,you will not be able to use the vcr anyway because it has a problem and the tv will continue to shutdown until the vcr is repaired,I have seen combo units with the tv working only as long as the vcr is not use.Remove the light you have in the opening and hope the tv works fine by itself.Adding a light is not safe.I hope this inf.helps somehow.Good luck
