don't know what might be causing that

is it a complete power failure? old telly? I'd be accusing leaky electrolyitics.

pasanonic might know...

It's pretty old, yeah.

It does this every couple of days. Oh, it's just turned on now after 20 minutes of trying.
It also occasionally turns itself off while switched on.

My TV does that occasionally

Picture cuts out (but not sound) - only image on screen is a flickering line.
I found that turning it off, smacking the back casing a few times, then turning it back on works...
The set is maybe 10-15 years old.

Mine turns itself off entirely.

No sound or anything. It sometimes turns itself back on again after a few seconds though.

Sounds like it's knackered

Failing capacitor or summat. Recommend you scrap it and buy a nice new one.

John Lewis give a 5-year warranty on all new tellies, which is nice. Richer Sounds is pretty good too...

Yeah I think it's on the way out.

I'll look into a nice shiny new one sometime.

one thing you could try is de dusting it

worked for my telly now that i think about it.

just open it up get the lint out and reseat all the plugs.

Yeah, I tried cleaning it up a bit inside, didn't seem to have any effect.
