Why does my tv turn off by itself after a half hour?

My Coby LED TV wont turn on.?

  • I recieved a Coby 19" LED TV for christmas and after setting it up, it worked fine. After a little bit, it started randomly powering off. The manual said it could be the result of an electrostatic discharge and to unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back in. It was a good temporary fix but it kept happening. After awhile of this happening, it stopped turning on. The manual said that it could have developed a malfunction and it could be solved by unplugging it for 30 minutes and the tvs restore function would reset itself. After waiting half an hour, it still will not turn on. Someone please helppp. p.s. Model #- 1526/1926/2226/2326/2426 Serial #- 1092189-1002409

  • Answer:

    if the tv is under warranty. send it in or take it back. if its not under warranty, then i think you have a case of bad capacitors. same thing happened to me. if its out of warranty, try changing the capacitors yourself. i used this youtube video to change my caps when they went bad. heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbGiXqBAvvo

welcome to the world of COBY! This phenomenon is called delayed DOA...I recommend returning it and spending $20 more for decent name brand

The TV is defective and your only recourse is to get it replaced under your warranty.
