I bought a TCL L32HDF11TA 32-Inch 720p 60 Hz LCD HDTV in 9/2011, about 2 months ago it started turning off unexpectedly constantly. How do I stop this

There is a software update that you need to load onto your tv.. it's a common problem, but there are multiple ways to fix it.. the patch is on TCL's website. but you'll be able to find it easily by googling

After a power outage at our house, our TV picture began to freeze up when first turned on. We would have to restart it several times before normal functioning returned. I realize this is not your specific problem, but maybe you had a power surge that affected the electronics. Or maybe these TVs just last 3-4 years.

Use a flash drive, download the firmware update for your model. Insert the down loaded into the usb port on tv. Done.

Hi Chew, I haven't had mine in for too long, perhaps 8 months to a year, but it's still working. I suggest that when you do install a new lamp, you reduce the 'contrast' to save the lamp's life a bit.As for which one fits your TV, I don't know what model TV you have. You can find that info in the User's Manual. If you don't have a User's Manual, you can download one from the TV manufacturer's website.

Did you go into your TV menu and reset the Lamp/ You have to let the TV know that you installed a new lamp. That should fix the problem as the TV should have a "time" when the lamp should be replaced and I don't think they are very accurate.

Unplug it, wait a minute or two and plug it back in. I had this problem as well and it was happening a lot, so I returned my tv for a LG...great move, no problems since.

Mine too, after about a year. Seems to be common for this TV. Mine could not be cost effectively repaired.

The bigger problems with the Samsung TVs is the soldering on the power supply and/or transistors going out. But my Samsung would just turn itself off then back on (I never unplugged and re-inserted the power cable). I did buy this cord later when my original cord shorted out and melted. If it is the cord, then that's a cheap fix...if its the power supply board, you're looking at $100-150 for repair or replacement

Might be the bulb. Had alotta trouble with that t.v. big waste very expensive to fix and maintain. Pisses me off that they get away selling such sub par stuff at premium rates. Hope its just the bulb good luck

Oh my gosh, that is EXACTLY the same problem we are having. It started maybe 4-6 months out of warranty. I am SO mad about t his. We are out of warranty and took it to a TV repairman, he said he couldn't fix it because they don't make just the part that is needed. We would basically need to replace the whole LCD at that point and that wouldn't be worth it. (cost me $75 for the assessment too!) I am going to call Samsung tonight but I am not hoping for much.

Unplug the TV for at least 3 min. Then hold the power switch on the tv it will be blinking and hold until it stopped blinking which is on. It should work. If this does not work you may have to get a service man as it may need a new mother board. Good luck.

Hi, my friend bought her tv (save model KDL-46VL150) from a dealer around here and since january 15, 2010 has not been able to listen to it. It worked about 10 days, then a red flashing light came on et OFF went the TV. If I were you, I would return that model number. They all seem to have the same problem and unless you have bought from Costco the other dealers won't take it back (they sent you back directly to Sony who sent's you a repairman. And Sony is sure not in a hurry to fix it. She is still waiting for the repairman even after numerous phone calls and complaints. Check the web and see others that have the same problem. Good luck.

I bought a bulb and it went out a short time after as well.but I replaced the whole TV instead of trying to fight the tv. I didn't try to warranty the bulb. Sorry this doesn't help

It sounds like the picture lamp has gone bad. This happens with this type of TV after many many hours of use. The lamp is easily accessed on the bottom center in back of the TV. Search "mitsubishi wd-65638 tv replacement lamp with housing" on Amazon and you'll find the replacement lamp. Hope that helps.

Mine had a intermitant failure, I gave it away and bought a Samsung lcd. The person I gave it to leaves it on all the time because it needs to cool down if they shut it off, HOWEVER THE FIRST ONE i PUT IN IT WORKED GREAT, MIGHT WANT TO CHECK WITH VENDOR

I just bought a protable TV with A/V inputs. I have an older single screen Philips PET710 DVD player with a TV out. I brought it home and plugged it in and when you plug the TV out cable in it automatically shuts off the screen on the player. SO now I have to return the TV. There is no way to checnge the sttings it is hardwired into the unit to shut off the base screen. So beware of buying two separate players and trying to hook them up to each other later. Make sure it does not shut off the base unit when hooked up.
