Television Repair in Nairobi, Kenya >0709004600
If your TV keeps turning off on its own, you’re not alone. This frustrating issue usually has a simple explanation. Here are the most common causes and solutions.
Power-Saving Settings
Most modern TVs have energy-saving features that automatically power down the screen after a period of inactivity. Check your TV’s settings menu for options like “Auto Power Off,” “Sleep Timer,” or “Eco Mode.” You can typically adjust or disable these features.
Overheating
TVs generate heat during operation. If ventilation is blocked or internal components are dusty, your TV may shut down to prevent damage. Ensure your TV has adequate space around it for airflow and isn’t placed in an enclosed cabinet. Clean any visible vents with compressed air.
Loose Power Connections
A loose power cable at the wall outlet or TV input can cause intermittent shutoffs. Unplug the power cord, inspect both ends for damage, and reconnect firmly. Try a different outlet to rule out electrical issues.
HDMI-CEC Settings
HDMI-CEC allows connected devices to control your TV. If you turn off your cable box or gaming console, it might automatically turn off your TV too. This feature goes by different names depending on the manufacturer (Anynet+ for Samsung, Bravia Sync for Sony). You can disable it in your settings if unwanted.
Faulty Remote or Buttons
Stuck buttons on your remote or TV panel can send unintended power commands. Remove the batteries from your remote to see if the problem stops. Clean any stuck buttons on the TV itself.
When to Seek Professional Help
If none of these solutions work, you may have a failing power supply board or other internal component. Contact the manufacturer’s support or a qualified TV repair technician for diagnosis.
