Power Disruption Detection Does anyone have an issue with this tv switching itself off after what the trouble shooting section of the manual says is "power disruption protection"...I've had it for about a month and it wasn't really a problem at first...now the tv won't even turn on for a day at a time (it worked for about 15 minutes today)...after it turns itself off there is no yellow standby indicating light on...just looking for suggestions as to what the issue is. Thanks.

Are you able to turn the TV on with the buttons on the side of the TV? See my full product review for my unique issues.

My set never had the picture issue prior to the issue of the tv switching off entirely and not coming back on. I tried the side power buttons, and I also called Toshiba customer support whom walked me through holding down the power button and unplugging the tv for a while, etc. They were unable to help, so they directed me to my local repair shop. Called them, they seemed helpful, were supposed to order a new power supply for the TV. Haven't heard back from them...but after leaving the tv unplugged for a day or two, I plugged it back in and its worked ever since like a charm...have no idea what the problem was, but it works now...just hope it stays this way.

Thanks for the reply and sharing the info. We did unplug it for a couple of hours. I'll try that again. Good luck!

Our Toshiba just started doing this. The picture freezes but audio continues as normal for about 10 seconds or longer then it shuts off. About 3 to 5 seconds later it turns itself back on. Did your problem start the same way.

Yes, they basically worded it incorrectly in the instruction manual. Enabling this feature will remember the On/Off state of the TV when it loses power. So if you unplug it while it is turned on, it will turn itself back on once you plug it back in. It has nothing to do with the video signal. I tried the tech support people and even they weren't aware of this.

Thanks Rossi for your reply. I didn't want to add to the post until I had the Samsung service technician come to my home and hear it for himself, which he did today. Turns out that it was the power supply which had to be replaced. The technician said that when the tv is turned off and the crackling sound persists, it shows that there is an issue with the power supply and it needs to be replaced. The technician said that he hasn't normally had an issue with the 4661 models, but that it does happen. No more noises, and just to add that the technician was great! I've heard in blogs that Samsung lacks in customer serivice, but I couldn't have been happier with how they handled my issue. Thanks Rossi for your reply.

Yes I have. I use mines everyday it has happened to me before but only twice and of that happens you just unplug the whole thing and turn off the tv as well for 10 mins. It could be that you don't have good wifi service.

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.

Well I too recently ordered the LNT4661F and sure enough, it snap, crackles and pops when you turn it on and off. I'll be calling Samsung on Monday to have someone come out and look at it. I just hope its as easy as replacing the power supply. I'll keep you posted.

Is it normal? I don't know, probably not. Is it common? Yes - http://forums.cnet.com/7723-7596_102-269426/clicking-noise-after-powering-off-sony-kdl-40v3000-lcd-hdtv/ I have the same model and it clicks when it's off. And mine also did reboot once or twice - but nowadays everything is full of software you know, so I am not surprised - it can crash, reboot and so on. As long as it boots again everything's cool.

Well, I had the same problem. The technician came to my house and replaced the capacitors. The TV still has problem but the technician asked me for $ 95 for home visit and since it doesn't seem to be capacitor problem so Samsung will not cover it. Samsung customer service is very unfriendly and won't help with this.

I believe this happened to me 3 years ago. I looked it up and I believe it was a loose component on one of the boards in the TV. Mine was still under warranty and Panny had someone locally come by and fix it for us. Good luck.

Yes, I love mine, turn it off when u r done running it. it decides to run around by itself. creep me out at first, I figured out the tv remote has something to do with it. lol

I had not any problem. Instruction manual is quite clear. I recommend only to connect AC power instead of using battery...I first tried with battery, and nothing happened: It was because the battery I had just bought was...empty ! (it happens sometimes, or China imported..) I connected it with my home tv, and have just to zap when door bell rings... Plse let me know what infos you need. And since my english is not very fluent (I'm living in France); what is the meaning of rerode ?? I have bought those items last October, and sincerely they work fine. Maybe only concern is to hire poeple to stay on stand-by near the TV .... Best regards.

Hi, did you ever figure out why this TV is turning itself off and on? I'm having that same problem.

I have my M650VSE hooked up to a sound system and Comcast. At times, it does not start with all systems working and I have to reset my sound or comcast remote to get it back to where all systems are working. If your TV turns itself off while watching it, it seems that there may be a surge in your system either external or internal to it that makes it do so.I suggest you first try to see if there are external causes, and if that does prove to be the case, I would have a Vizio tech person check it out internally.Wish I could be more helpful.Ron

Man, I wish I could help. I know mine automatically turns off when I turn off my LED TV so they are somehow synced already. I never did anything special when I set it up. I have a Samsung TV. I don't know if that makes any difference at all. I'm also using all HDMI. I'm thinking maybe it's the configuration of how your system is set up? Please do update when you figure it out as I'm getting ready to purchase a new TV to hook up with mine and I might just have the same trouble.

Hey, I had the same problem with an LN55C650 and even with a new panel it did it. So the tech got on the phone and called and was told about the service bulletin and cut jumper number p854 on the 55" and that fixed it. So the new panel came back out but I got my tv fixed. Yay!!!

Unfortunately this is not a unique problem. My research shows many customers have had this happen to their Sony TV's, even after just a year or so. My TV lasted 18 months before this happened. Bloggers have documented that it can't be fixed, certainly not at a cost that is worthwhile. The only option is to recycle the TV and buy a new one...of a different brand with a more stellar reliability rating. Sorry.
