Toshiba 40TL968 switching off itself

Hi,
I bought Toshiba 40TL968 TV just 3 weeks back but it started showing a problem. It would automatically turn itself off after every 30-40 minutes. There was no timer. I reset it and then it worked fine for a few days before showing the problem again.
I contacted the retailer and he exchanged it (since it was just 2 weeks old). This new TV was working fine until today. It showed the same problem and it turned itself off after some time. I also noticed that TV got hanged while watching Dailymotion app and after that whenever I turned it off, instead of red LED, orange one was shown. I unplugged it but still it was showing orange LED instead of red. And then this problem of auto-turning off started. I am not sure if they are related.
It is not even 4 weeks and two TVs have shown the same problem. I am tending to believe either there is some fault with the whole series or with the stock that retailer is carrying. I am thinking about returning the TV and get my money back.
Has anybody else faced the same problem with this model? Or has any idea why is it happening again and again?
The firmware of my TV is - 7.0.27.8.1 Nov 12 2012 - 68.7.75.4
Thanks
D

I have the same problem with the 40TL968, I also had it with the 2 previous 40RL series TV's I had as a direct replacement from Toshiba. In addition to this the subtitles fail to work, it drops its network connection, repeatedly locks up whilst using the guide or the smart TV services.
I reported the faults with my current set back in March 2013 and the problems were investigated and confirmed on TV's held by Toshiba's technical department.
I was then told a firmware would be available in a couple weeks.
Months later I was told that the firmware has issues and therefore there was no fix for my television.
I am now awaiting a suitable resolution from Toshiba.
The televisions were issued direct from Toshiba as (extended) warranty replacements after their authorised repair centre, systematically destroyed my previously perfect TV that was sent off to have a standby switch replaced and came back with a heavily scratched facia, faulty HDMI ports, misaligned casing and finally a dead tuner.

  • Satellite A200 switches off itself constantly

    hello,
    I have a problem with my laptop as it switches off itself constantly, after using internet for about 30 minutes, or straight away after you launch any major program like photoshop or autocad or game.
    I spotted that it also turns very hot fast in a couple a minutes could it be related? what might be the problem?

    Hi mate.
    Quest what? I think I know what could cause this issue.
    I think its related to high temperature. The CPU and GPU create a lot of warmness while running high performance software (graphic app, games, etc).
    Possibly the cooling modules cannot cool the CPU because of dust.
    Remove the dust from cooling fans and grilles using a compressed air spray.
    This tool is very useful and can be purchased from different online dealers.

    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • BlackBerry Z10 switches off itself!

    I have been using this phone for 2 months...and it switches off when the battery percentage is 40-50%....need help!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs. If it fails, please re-try, but increase the wait time in step 4 to at least 2 hours, and perhaps as long as 4-5 hours.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Can not use the maps Otherwise iPad will switch off itself

    As the question described in the topic, I now want to reinstall this app or delete it from the first page, but I can not a way to do that. Could anybody please tell me how to do it-delete the apps from the first page. When I long tap the apps icon in the first page there is no delete signs appear on the left upper corner but they do from the second page.

    My problem is not about reset. I can not use maps app, everytime when I tap the maps, the machine will switch itself off, which means the white apple appears on the screen. Also, I can not search any location by google map. My hypothesis is to delete the maps app then install it again. However, I can not find a way to delete it, as you mentioned it was firmware I could not delete it at all. But I still wonder if anyone here can give constructive suggestions to fix the maps issue.

  • MSI GT60 display switches off itself

    I have a msi GT60 dominator 870m .... when i am playing games i am always connected to my monitor and tv... sometimes after playing a little while suddenly both external monitors lose display and everything hangs ...... after 3 or 4 minutes it correctz itself .... i think my laptop is throttling or something .... i had my turbo boost on as well .... i noted the temp of GPU which was 90c ..... what can i do to prevent this ? This is so annoying when playing games like LOL, dota
    looks like MSI does not play test or something .... what is the use of having GAMING laptop when it cant play GAMES ....
    anyways do i need to repaste or something .... i don't want to lose my warranty
    Hdmi port connects to my 24 inch monitor and mdp1 connects to my tv... my laptop display is off... tv and monitor are on duplicate mode ...
    so when this issue happens laptop display switches on, tv and monitor loses display and everything is in a hanged state ... 3 minutes later ... both my tv and monitor switches back on and everything works again ..so this makes me think its switching from nvidia gpu to integrated gpu for some reason....
    My vbios is latest as well 80.04.F7.00.06
    nvidia version : 340.52
    Intel : 10.18.10.3652.
    Is there any fan control software or something

    Quote
    Hello,
    First of all, in order to tell you if repasting will void your warranty, I have to know the country you live in.
    I live in USA.
    Quote
    Temps are high, so that's the most likely the issue. LoL and Dota are not demanding games; can you please run Intel Burn Test (single pass) while recording temps (with HWInfo). If it passes, then run some GPU benchmark like Kombustor and monitor HWInfo temps too.
    Did Intel burn test with standard and maximum both were successful, Max temps were 93c
    Also ran Kombuster for  25 minutes, max temp was 94 c again no issues.

    MSI can't test every single laptop that comes out of the production line, can they? At least brands that make condoms don't test every single that is made 
    Come on condoms come with an inherent risk and a warning that it has a chance to fail , also you are comparing a 1$ item with 1500$ product?
    Quote
    No fan control available for notebooks, sadly.
    There is a custom software for old generation laptops, some fan control utility, which changes the fan speed profiles, not sure if we have one for the new generations.. motherboard is same as old so it may work for my laptop as well but i am not sure ... was hoping if i could increase the fan speed i could get the temps down.

  • My 9220 restarts and switch off itself and service center can't fix it.

    I'm in need of help. My BB frequently turns off by itself, even if there are no applications running. I tried to restart it by pressing the power button, but that never worked. I had to hard restart it by taking off the battery and then putting it back on again. I need to do this around 2 or 3 times (only once if i'm lucky) to get it to turn back on. The frustrating part is when it shuts itself down again only a couple minutes after I had managed to turn it on again.
    I took it to service center and there they collected it but since last 1.5 Months i am trying to get my phone but they say that we didn't fixed it.
    Please help me.

    Without the device in your hands, it's rather useless to have advice since you cannot carry it out. But, since you desire it, here are some things you can try. I do not know which, if any, will work for your situation.
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.
    You may also need the use of these tricks:

    On the chance that your battery may be causal, please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does

  • CK-7W AUTO SWITCH OFF

    Hi all, be gentle it's my first time!
    Am having an issue with the CK-7W in that it will auto switch off itself and the phone in the cradle after a minute or two of the ignition being turned off.
    Can this be fixed by not connecting the ignition sense cable on installation?
    Have 8 of these car kits and it would be helpful if we know what to tell the installer next time round!
    Cheers, L

    Yes you can disconnect the blue wire & that will dissable auto turn off, it actually says in the instuction that you dont have to connect the blue wire because the kit will shut down if not connected to a phone for over 2 mins. I would only reconmend this if you have cradles in the car because if you have keep pairing and disconnecting the Bluetooth connection it will become a pain in the butt. It will only drain you battery if you connect the blue wire to a constant power source like the red wire.

  • N73 auto switch off during voice call

    I know there's a topic about this auto switch off, but the reply didn't answer anything specific about this..
    My N73 am using the latest firmware, the phone is superb, only if this problem doesn't occur.. It happen when I was in the middle of a conversation, and suddenly there's no voice on the other line, I tot it was my telco problem, and then when I was about to push the end call button, I only realise my phone has auto switch off itself.. Zzz.. This happen not once, but very frequently, and I'm puzzled cause sometimes I can chat for a very long time without a problem, and sometimes the auto off problem occurs many times in a day..
    Anyone encounter this problem b4? Is there a fix to this? =(Message Edited by kaytse82 on 02-Jun-200707:18 AM

    The best thing you can do is book the handset into a NSC for the handset to be checked out.

  • My ipad 3 switchs off automatically after sometime?

    My ipad 3 bought month ago switchs off itself and to get back I need hold home and ON button simultaneously.

    Hello,
    Try a restore, this should be a software issue.
    Plug your iPad into itunes, put it on DFU mode and restore it (if you can)
    Step One
    Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your Mac.
    Step Two
    Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
    Step Three
    After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
    The iPhone screen will remain black.
    If that is just impossible, change your ipad for another.
    Hope you solve this problem!,
    Cheers.

  • MSi GT780 TurboON "P1" problem - switching of itself.

    Hi,
    I bought a MSi GT780 in last week. Unfortunately i have got a little problem. When i click on "P1" on touch panel the "TurboON" is switching on but after a
    30sec its switching off by itself. Why is it happing like that? On this video we can see that guy is switching on
    this "TurbonON" and it is not switching off byt itself. You can see that in 1:50minutes to 1:55minutes. Tell me why i have got this problem? Oh last thing ofc i have installed a Sbar.
    Oh i would forgot. When i am clicking on "P1" on touch panel this button is not highlighted as the rest buttons like wifi when it is on. I guess it should be highlighted am i right?
    Please response as fast as it is possible.
    Best regards Dominik.

    I know the solution of this problem. Before you clikc "P1" first you have to run the "NVIDIA Overclock Tool" then you can run the "P1" so "TurboModeON" and it will not switching off itself.
    Unfortunetly this "TurboModeON" is sh**. It overclocked the gpu 50hz more nothinkg more ... tell me what is it 50mhz ?
