T.V turns itself off then on again, when something else is switched on..?
Since we installed our new T.V (Panasonic Plasma 40 inch) it switches itself off for a few seconds then back on again after a couple of seconds, this happens when we switch anything else on in the house, particularly the oven. :confused:
Any ideas what could be causing this at all, this never happened with the old T.V but that was a lot smaller, not sure if this would have anything to do with it. Any ideas guys? |
Take it back to Curry's for an exchange.
:D |
Lol. :D
Got if from John Lewis so if there is a problem with the set, there should be no problem with changing it. :thumb: |
Id cover the infa red eye on the set, and if the behavious continues then Id return it fir a replacement.
I realise that turning on an oven isnt going to affect the remote receiver, but this is the only variable that I can think of including - when youve doent this the diagnostic procedure is over... |
over active combined remote ?

You havnt got an iphone have you ? :Suspiciou

Sound like the TVs internal power supply is on the fritz and not taking a liking to brief voltage drops, causing the TV to restart.
Just before taking it back...If its on a extension lead/surge protector/adapter. Eliminate that and have it plugged straight into the wall socket. Then try a different kettle lead (nick one off a desktop PC), just to finally rule out a dodgy socket; try a different socket in the house, preferably on a different ring main. That way you can defintely say its the TV that is duff. If its a G20 or V20...I'm jealous. Even if its faulty :mad: |
Oh, just had a thought, if you have Viera Link enabled (via a HDMi lead); another faulty A/V appliance (DVD player for example) may cause it to switch on and off.
Panasonic DVD recoders were notorious for power supply/PCB faults (I know, I have one :mad: - they repaired it FOC though :):cool: ). I suppose a Duff HDMi lead could also interfere with it by messing up the Viera link (CEC) commands, so try disabling it and also turn off any power saving options. |

Regarding the ring main, if it was dodgy then surely a fuse would pop. |

Hmm, we have a Harmony control, can these go a bit wonky from time to time then? |

Did you do all the wiring yourself Cooky after getting advice off here? :D
|
lol, I havent touched it, just pluggged the thing in. :D
|
Get a gas oven :lol1:
|
Certainly sounds as though it is sensitive to a voltage drop in the power supply which can happen when switching a power user which needs an initial surge of current when you switch it on.
Could be the TV at fault, or your house power supply. Les |
Get an exorcist in. Job done

It's probably the TV that's at fault. For precisely this reason, all electronic equipment legally has to pass a test for immunity to voltage dips and interruptions ("brown-outs"), as part of the same suite of testing to ensure it doesn't interfere with radio communications.
If your TV is resetting, there could well be a fault in the power supply - and depending on the fault, that could lead to premature failure. I'd treat the symptoms you're seeing as a warning to get the set replaced, or at least fixed, while it's still under warranty. |
