Unplug Your TV (and Plug It Into the Wall) As with all technology, try turning it off and on again before doing anything else. Except in this case, unplug your TV completely, hold the power button down for 10 seconds, and then plug it back in to see if the problem persists.
Q. Why does my TV shut off after a few seconds?
A loose connection can cause your TV to turn off unexpectedly, and so can an aging power supply cord. If you notice frayed wires or damage to your TV’s power cord, it’s time to shop for a new TV to prevent further issues and potential electrical hazards.

Q. Why does my Samsung TV turn off as soon as I turn it on?
Try to update the software. In some cases, a software update can correct the problem. If the TV turns off during the software update, it could damage the TV. Updates can take up to 30 minutes depending on network speed, so if the TV is not turning off too frequently, try updating the software.

Q. What happens if you never turn off your TV?
You may prefer to switch your TV onto “Standby” mode. This will use less energy than keeping it switched on, but will still use more energy than if it were turned off completely. The main issue that can arise with leaving a TV on all the time is that the TV can overheat, which will reduce the lifespan of the TV.
Q. Does leaving a light on use a lot of electricity?
While the answer will vary with the bulb, the cost of the energy of a light left on, especially, is fairly low no matter what bulb you’re using. Energy.gov says that today’s more energy-efficient bulbs typically use 25-80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and that they last 3-25 times longer.
