My tv will stay on for anwhere from 1-5 minutes and then turn itself off. It will keep doing this over and over again. Up for a few minutes and then with no reason, turn off again. Any suggestions to how i can fix it?
Ok this is what you do folks.... un-plug the tv from the power supply. once that is done hold the power button down on the side of the television for 30 seconds. this will release all electricity out of the tv.... then before you plug it back in hold the channel down vol up button along with the power button at the side on the tv this should reset the tv and it will start up automatically on video one. Select your source and scan for your cable channels again. If the problem is not solved then contact someone to come and clean the filter for the tv because it may be clogged along with this it can be the color wheel and may shut itself off like 3 times until it feels it is right.
my problem was that the right backside of my television was getting really hot. T.V would eventually turn off with no warning. I came to the conclusion that the television was shutting down because it was over heating on the right backside of the set. In order to solve this problem i had to improvise a solution. I used an extra space heater that functions in three different settings, high, low, and fan. then, I plugged the heater in and placed it facing outwards from the overheating right end of the television set. Now the space heater acts as a fan that blows out the hot air that causes the shut down. You should be able to feel the hot air coming out of the heater even though its set on fan.

I have the same problem with a MD5820N tv. The TV has been fine for 3 years, now the screen jitters for a few seconds and turns off. The blue light blinks slowly a few times, then it turns back on. This repeats several times, then the TV operates normally. This typically happens soon after starting the TV. HP's telephone help desk is no help -- they just want to sell me a service plan!
OMG...I have the same problem as jwbower. Mine is also been 3 years and now the screen kinda flikers and then it just shut off by itself. A few seconds later, the blue light came one and the TV turns on by itself again but there is no picture and only the sound is on. I had to unplug...wait for 30 seconds and same problem happens after the TV was on for a few hours. At first I thought it was the lamp needs to be replaced but there is no red light signal. :(
turn t.v. on, nd bue light lights up for about 5 seconds, goes out and comes back on a secondlater making a buzz noise, then ges out and flashingred light twice on left then twice on right and continues this way...but no picture at all.
