desperate help. my tv works perfectly when its on but it started to turn off by itself and turn back on. it started with small intervals and developed to a few days off and would turn back on. at first i thought it was the socket loose but its not. can it be the power unit?
This TV set is a Plasma type TV set, as I am sure you are aware of. This set has a bad power supply, or maybe the main board is going bad. This is not they type of set I'm afraid a novice should attempt to repair on their own. If you do buy a board, and this board you purchased does not fix your problem, you will be stuck with it. And some board require some alignment after a board is replaced. Play it safe and take the TV set into am Authorized Toshiba repair center and have them diagnose the set. Good Luck, and please let us know how this repair turns out and what it took to repair the TV.
i just got a toshiba tv plasma for free.i got it home and it did not have the power cord so i went out and got one.it turns on but only stays on for one min and then it shuts off and then the red light blinks twice and it keeps doing so.my dad told me it might be one of the fans but i can hear both of them working. the model number is 42hp83 any help would be good thank you.
