All of the front panel buttons turn the tv on, the power button, channel changer,volume control, but only for a few seconds then it turns itself off. Theres no picture only static. Please Help!
It sounds like you may have a 5 volt power problem. This would be located in the standby power supply. Could be a simple capacitor, or the voltage regulator for the 5 volts is bad and not putting out enough voltage. The correct way to trouble shoot this would be to get the service manual, find the standby power supply in the scematic, and start taking voltage measurments. If you have no solid state repair experience, play it safe and call out a trained tech to assist you in this repair. Good Luck and let us know what you find out about this problem and how was it solved.
