Hello,

The problem I have is; my tv turns itself off, i chaged the battries in the remote just incase, the same thing happens. The other thing is, just before it turns off, the picture goes a bit wild, hard to explain exactly wat happens the picture kind off goes fuzzy.

My dad said it could be something to do with a ht board not being plugged in properly? Is this true? ps. my dads no expert,

Would be greatfull for any advise, thx

Most likley what it could be is an interferance in the TV. Modern TV's have a feature that will shut itself off when it is not receving a picture. For instance, after so many minutes of "snow" it will shut off.

Sometimes an interferance can cause this although you may not realize it. You know the old problem of running an electric egg beater, or vacume cleaner in the house causes static lines across the TV, sometimes this can make the TV think there is no signal at shut itself off.

On a more personal story, my old oil furnace would cause an interferance when ever it was running. When ever the oil pump was pumping oil, it would cause an interferance in the TV that was bad enough to make it shut itself off.

Never really remedied that problem, it had its good days and its bad days. Finally the furnace just died and I replaced it with a new electric, and the problem went away.

Anyway, I suspect its an interferance issue. Perhaps moving the TV further from the source of the interferance might help.

No wait, it wasnt the furnace, it was the electric fence, the transformer on the electric fence shorted out and was causing the interferance shutting off the TV.

However the furnace still put the lines on it, but it never was enough to shut the TV down.
It just came back to me. Its been a few years back.

If it is an older tv then the tube is going bad, if its new it sounds like a bad power supply.
