ElectricShock · 07-20-2008, 01:41 AM

Well i have had the tv for 3 months.
52 inch samsung lcd
i have the 4 year extended plan with best buy

I love the tv...but for some reason...only happend 2 times...once a month ago and once again today.

It turns off out of nowhere...then turns back on..and only happend when i was watching tv never on a game or blu ray yet.

Any ideas?

In a cabinet, getting hot?

nope its on a stand
and we keep the house really cold here.
i dont even watch tv or anything much. probably watch one blu ray every week or two and if i play a game its 30 minutes tops.
we have a 65 inch in the living room. this is the spare room this tv is in.

the little red light comes on like when you turn off the tv...when it shuts off...then it comes back on..just like i turned it back on.
Only happend 2 times...and it was weeks of each other....But still got me worried...only when watching tv also...not games or movies

i'd bring it in for warranty, sure you'll be out the tv for some time, but atleast you'll get the whole process started. That way if for some reason you have a lemon everything is documented and later they can swap you out for something different if need be. Better to be safe than sorry.

Since you say you keep it very cold, maybe a brownout when your A/C kicks on?

It happened to my Panny plasma. Turns out the power cord in the back of the TV was loose, causing it to turn off randomly. Make sure all cables are secure. If it keeps happening, well, you have the BB warranty, so have them fix it!
