    Strange TV problem

    I have a 60 inch Sony Wega LCD rear projection TV. I have had it for about two years now... experiencing a strange problem.

    Turn on the TV. TV will run for maybe a minute. Then it will shut off. 10 seconds later it will turn on again. 10 seconds later it will turn off. This continues until I manually turn it off.

    Anyone ever experience anything like this?

              I tried it straight into the wall and through a projector. Same thing.

                  It may be overheating... do you get a picture when it is on?

                      It's the inbuilt failure device that kicks in 3 months after the warranty expires.

                      Seriously, it's probably some sort of safety shutdown, perhaps due to overheating or some other parameter that's gone beyond normal limits, or a task that it's trying to perform that does not succeed. IOW, it could be anything!

                              I had an older 55" that would turn off quickly after being turned on. Not to mention occational red and blue color bending for about a year before that. From what I read I think it was the convergence IC's (controls the red and blue colors or something), which can go bad or the soldering on them can come loose causing shutdown. Then I moved the TV, probably correcting some loose soldering, and it worked again.

                                  My Sony Grand Wega will sometimes turn off immediately after being turned on. Generally if I turn it on again it stays on, though.

                                  I know the bulb eventually needs replaced, but I'm not sure how the TV alerts you to the fact the old one is done.
