plasma turns off.

[grabcol01]

So now that I have my Samsung plasma working, and don't have an Arial plugged into it as testing power on for a while it turns off after 10 minutes, is this a stand by thing so that if no input is found for 10 minute it turns off as a power saver type thing? Or more dodgy things going on? Cheer.

Re: plasma turns off.

can you connect say a dvd via scart and let it play see if it still does it?

Check the ECO/power settings in the menu, it probably has a power down option turned on that shuts the unit off with no input signal to conserve power and protect the screen.

What you have now is probably what was wrong with it in the first place, soldering problem around the FET's. Check this post :

& read from my comment NO:30

Basically follow the advice in their about checking the FET soldering. They often look ok but under close inspection the soldering is usually poor & after the set warms up a few minutes it clicks off. If you continue to run the TV with that condition then the FET'S will eventually fail.

Re: plasma turns off.

lol, as tv is outside i used lead through crack in door from my tv to test last night, all working fine and great pics, all programs auto scanned and saved. tonight i thought just give it another power up but as my mrs was moaning about the cold draft i had no aerial lead through the crack in door. This is when i found that after ten mins or so it shuts off. I did go through the menus and turn off most obvious things relating to power save etc..... also graham i have run an hot iron over the fets etc last week ....bleeding tele....

Re: plasma turns off.

Right chaps, finished work early, house to my self, aerial cable shoved through open door & t.v stays on..... after an hour, t.v is still on and all i well.

I then disconnect the aerial lead, "NO SIGNAL" and in 10 mins shuts off....

I then plug aerial back in, turn back on out of stand by and stays on for 30 mins plus

Samsung must use a safe mode for 'NO Input' found. Worth remembering chaps. Just need paying now for parts. Thanks for all input by all. xxx

Re: plasma turns off.

Reckon you should shove the Mrs in the walkway and work on the sets in the living-room in comfort!

What happens when the 'Junk' on the wall stops working just before that crap she likes watching!!?
