Sharp 55R-WP$H shuts off after few minutes

ulbhpy
17 years ago

Hello there, Hope you can help me solve this problem.

I have a Shaarp 55R-WP4H Rear project TV (made in Apr 2002), used for about 4 years. This August it all of a sudden shut off while watching and view timer LED started blinking twice with on inbetween. TV had to be unplugged as no switches worked. After some cooling TV powers on but shuts off after few minutes (5-30 minutes). Based on other posts here, I checked out solder, but could not find anything wrong. No components appear burned out. I am not getting a quote from local TV repair persons due to nature of this problem. I have heard it could be hundreds of $. I want to give it a try before I dump it.

Please advise. Thanks.
