could it be overheating? If you aim a fan at it does it stay on?

Most of the time TV sets attract dust and fuzz like a magnet

sometimes they need to have the cover removed and blown

out to get rid of the dust bunny blanket that covers the inside

I am not garenteeing this will solve the problem... There is probably

a solder connection or component that is heating up and breaking down

Finding it may be a little difficult and I would not reccomend messing

around inside a TV with cover off -- leave that to the professionals
