why my tv is turning off by itself after 15- 20 minutes?

There is a service bulletin out for this tv. I just had mine fixed by best buy under warrantee. The motherboard and the cable going to it short out and cause this issue. It will slowly get worse. Service bulletin ASC20130429001

I don't know if this is a question, but if there is no video input it will turn itself off after a timeout period. I've never had it turn on by itself though.

Have you counted backwards from 10 after turning it on? It is not immediate. Most tv's are. This one takes a moment. Try waiting.

The problem that we are having is that our TV (LNA650) takes forever to come on. The music plays and the lights flash (this morning the count was 56 times before it finally came on. We purchased it in 2008 and the problem just started) Customer service is no help--Anyone??

Alot of times the Issue is Switching in Between Sources. Unplug the tv for 5 minutes, then plug it back in and hold the power down for a minute, this will hard reset your tv, then hit menu and goto reset to factory settings. should fix your problem. Mine did this all the way up until I was forced to return it.

My TV now turns off at random. I have only noticed this problem since using the smart cycle.

You might try unplugging the unit from the wall socket , wait a few minutes then plug it back up.

It must have been fixed. Mine will stay on as long as sound is passing through it. I've even fallen asleep with the TV on, and it didn't shut off. It will shut off if what you are watching is paused for a while, which it shouldsince there is no ssound playing.

yes, and it also has a feature that you can turn on that will turn it off automatically after 15 mins if there is no input. ie if your game system or cable automatically turns off, so will your tv.

Mine's been fine for months; thank God! Are you making sure to totally shut the TV off when not in use?

There is a feature on the TV that will turn it off due to inactivity. If you go into the settings you can change that to an extended period of time, but I am not sure if you can turn it off completely. If it isn't that than I am not sure what the issue would be from. Hope this helps.

Please provide more details. Is TV connected with a receiver or something else? Or was on for a moment then black out?

Mine was turning off and then automatically turns on in few mins. Most of these problems in Samsung TVs are due to its capacitors in the power board. I dont know if your TVs issue is the same but looks like due to capacitors. I would just try this kit and it is not that hard to replace them. The kit generally has more that what is required. I just replaced all in my mother board that matched what is in the kit and it worked for me.

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.

Mine turns off after the same period. Not sure it actually goes "dead" because the TV signal still seems to be amplified, but the display powers down.
