Hi Dr. M., Sony XBR65X850A TV has auto shut-off feature when on idle and self-timer. These can be disabled from the menu options of the TV. -Vincent

if you can see the picture, that means, the lens is working, the tv. won't tell you is on.....If you see the picture then go to menu, and reset the date when it was replaced, The fan I think is for cooling, but Iam not positive......

Energy saver setting.....television will shut off if no activity is detected such as channel change or volume change. You may be able to disable this feature by referring to the owners manual.

This happens on my Panasonic Plasma on rare occasion (3 or 4 times a year.) It also happens with my Vizio LED. I believe its not a TV problem but a cable problem. I have Comcast and sometimes I need to unplug my cable box for a few minutes to re-boot it. Sometimes that works, but more often I'm just getting a bad signal from some unknown link in the chain from a live feed. It annoying but has never lasted. The other 99.9% of the time both TV work great.

If you press the off button, then the light is red on the bottom of the television. I assume that that would mean it's in stand-by mode.

There are several possibilities. First I would check the power cord for any damage. Does the tv not power on after being on or was the tv powered off for a day? If the tv is on, does it shut off on its own?

Remove m power, plug tv directly into wall and see if tv turns off. If it doesn't turn off, your m power is over heating and possibly shorting out. It's very possible that your tv is over heating as well. Remember these conditioners only clean and stabilize power. Hope this was helpful

It's typically the settings in your tv, you likely have it programmed to shut off other attached hdmi devices when you power off your tv. Shut off the Phillips "CEC" commands (I believe they are called) in your settings and that will likely solve the problem.

Mine's been fine for months; thank God! Are you making sure to totally shut the TV off when not in use?

I experience the same thing but not as frequent. I am also having issues with it turning itself off. I was told there is a problem with the power pack inside the TV. it does have a 1year factory warranty but dealing with Vizio CS is a pain. I bought mine from Best Buy abd bought there extended warranty so right now I am waiting for them to receive some more in so they can do a swap for a new one. I happen to like this TV very much but it seems without an extended warranty you might be on your own. Good Luck.

It is the plastic heating up nothing to do with the power if we are talking about the popping noise common after the TV has been on for a period of time and continues when it is turned off. I noticed when my air conditioning turned on it became more intense b/c of the contrast in temperature. You can move the TV or turn it off a couple hours before you sleep i guess thats what i've done is turn it off an hour before i go to bed.

You know, I never thought about checking it. All I can say is I have one serving each of our computers and they work perfectly. Thinking of replacing the regular APC on the TV. But I'm not sure it will shut off my subwoofer when the tv is turned off because the tv still draws an amp or two when it's off. Maybe I'll try one of the 'master control" surge arresters to see if will shut off the subwoofer, before I get another one. Anyway, when you turn on or off the computer, the monitor and speakers come on or off with it. Nice.

I have the same problem. It seemed OK until I added a BluRay DVD and then even with the window (winter) open behind it shuts down with the volume setting much about 30. It runs somewhat hot, but I don't think it should be hot enough to shut down. Currently I must use the TV volume set higher and hard to get good sound from my high efficiency regular speakers. With the tuner I have no problems. I am not happy with the unit.

Your power supply to the bulb may have gone out, but that does seem to be too much of a coincidence to go out now. I would personally try another bulb even though it means spending more money. If it is the power supply that has gone out to that bulb, from what I hear you will probably want to consider getting another television set because they are extremely expensive replacing or to repair the very sensitive and very specific power supply. There are no generic power supplies for the TV set as far as I know. Notice all the varying ratings. I notice the latest ratings are mostly all negative. When I replaced my bulb September of last year, it was provided by another distributer than is now through Amazon. That may have something to do with the quality issues and I would be willing to bet your bulb was dead on arrival. Use Amazons email to see if you could send it back for exchange. I did not notice what kind of warranty was offered. You should get at least 14-30 days replacement period for defective merchandise.

My tv was going off & on from background noises. Turned the voice activation off to resolve that issue.
