we bought this tv (cheap) on boxing day 5 yrs ago...worked fine until recently...when I turn it on, I have sound and a picture, but within a few seconds the screen goes black but I still have sound...I then turn it off and on (do this about 5 times) and eventually the picture stays on and the TV works just fine...

I have googled it and tried some of the suggestions (unplug it, wait a bit, then plug it back in...also checked all the cords and everything is plugged in tight)

anybody have anything other ideas to fix this or is my cheapo TV dying because it's exactly that....cheap

Open it up and look on the circuit board for any bulging capacitors. That is usually the issue with them they use inferior capacitors. If you identify some that are no good it's not all that expensive to have someone solder new ones in

Especially the power supply. Electrolytics have a limited lifespan and gets shorter with hot temperatures. If it ain’t caps, then the issue is harder to find
