TV Power problem
 

Hi everyone, thanks for reading. My TV has 2 power buttons, the main
power switch and the sub power. When the main power is depressed, the
red LED in the front is lit. I hit the sub power button and the set
turns on, LED off. It works fine for a few minutes and then dies, and
I can't get the red LED to come back on for a few minutes to half an
hour or so. When the LED comes back, it works just like before, few
minutes, then dies.

I'm in a foreign country, and the repair guy says it's a problem with
the "vertical" something (that's the only word I understand), and wants
to charge me around 50 bucks to fix it. Not a lot of money, but I feel
it must be a power problem due to the symptoms. Anyone familiar with
these symptoms?

Any help is much appreciated.

You should let the tech fix the set. If there are any problems with the
scans, most sets will go in to a protection mode, which I suspect your set
is doing this.

Why dont you give us important things like the Make and the Model
are we to guess as to what you have ?

For the $50 quoted repair price, you should have the repair guy fix it.
It is not going to get any cheaper than that no matter what the problem
really is.
Certainly it could be the power supply ..... it is probably shutting down
due to shorted vertical deflection circuitry.... or something like that.
You should believe what your repair guy is telling you.... after all he
knows what the MAKE and MODEL of your television is.... something you
neglected to post ..... and from the sounds of it he has already looked at
it and maybe done some testing.
Based on the absolute lack of pertinent information in your post all you are
going to get here is wild guesses.
