What would cause my television to turn itselt off when the sleeper mode is in the off position. It does this about 4 to 6 times automatically. It is a Phillips television purchased last year July, 2005 Brand new from Sears.

Think it may be a bad solder connection on the board. You can find it if you have a BIG magnifying glass that is how the tech found mine. When it heats up it expands enough to make a bad connection.
Two sets of mine had same prob. and that was the cause. One did it when just out of warranty. The other a cousin gave me, she was going to trash it. Both nice 27" flat screens. First was $60.00 in '91 for the RCA the second, Panasonic, was $10.00 last fall at the tech school :-)

My Philips 32PW6006 when switched on also turns itself off automatically.
It does this usually about 5-6 times. Each time i switch it back on using my Sky remote. It then comes back for a second and then goes off again.
Ater the 5-6 time it does then stay on.

Not an answer i am afraid, but if i find anything i will let you know. Can you do the same for me?
