This is strange.


I have had this TV for around a month now and the wife called twice tonight saying that the TV shut off while watching a movie. The power light blinks for about 45 seconds then she is able to power up and continue. Anyone ever heard of this before?

I think I read something about it over on the home theater spot and maybe even about someone fixing it on there own, but I don't recall the specifics.


Please post back here when you diagnose and then repair the problem.

It did it a third time according to the wife.


I dug up the PDF and it says to hit the system reset button, and if it happens frequently to "obtain a line conditioner/surge protector" as the TV is shutting itself down to protect from power surges.


Thing is, I already have a conditioner that indicates that Ground is OK and clean power is on.


Very strange.

Yeah, I vaguely recall some faulty inexpensive part, but check out that mits section on the home theater spot. ***************.com.

Thanks, I have registered over there, however the search doesnt return results for ANY query I run. I posted a similar thread over there.

One good piece of news...I reset the powerbar and the shutdown hasn't happened since. Hopefully this was just a fluke.

Hope it helps.

I got my new 65813 on Oct 2 and that first day, while I was playing with it, I had a mysterious shutdown. We went into the sleep timer menu and it was turned on. I turned it off and haven't had any recurrence.

There is a software update available from Mits for this issue. Call customer service and ask to speak with Marco. He will fax you the user agreement for it and then he will ship out the flash card to you.

Wow, thanks for the great responses everyone. If it shuts down again I will give a call.
