I have a client with several Sharp Aquous flat screen TV's
(various sizes). They are in a house that is un-occupied
for months at a time.

I check the house every few weeks and nearly always,
one of the TV's will be turned on.

I've ruled out a flaky remote; but, other than a ghost, have
run out of ideas.

Suggestions?

Hmmm,
Unplug it. Or is it set up by such feature as sleep timer?


Yes, unplugging works and I've done that with the ones that are
easy to unplug (I guess that rules out ghosts). I still have two that
are not easy to unplug. Plus, unplugging means going through
setup again when the owners return. I don't think it's a sleep
timer; but, perhaps, some type of energy saver ...


Consider that unplugging it helps provide additional protection from
surges etc.. I think I would put up with going through the setup again.
I'll bet you get really good at it.
