I plugged it in when I got it home, knowing that it had a problem but it worked for the first 15 minutes and then shut its self off, then came back on in a few seconds and now it won't come back on. I left it unplugged for a while and tried it again and it works then shuts off. Any ideas? would be cool if it was a cheap fix, I got the TV for nothing.
If it were me I would open it up and start looking for bad capacitors on the boards. If they are getting bad they should be domed out at the top. When you find them make sure you mark the way they are mounted on the board. I always used a permanent marker and put a line on the board according to where the stripe on the capacitor was. If there are more than one bad capacitor try replacing them one at a time (dont turn the tv on until they are all replaced) this will help reduse confusion as to which new one goes in which hole.
