Question

Help answer this question below.

My 3 year old 31" RCA started switching on and off continuously. That's all it does unless the guide screen is on the picture, then you can't see the picture, but you can hear the sound. What can I do to stop this?

    Hi,Do you hear clicking or like something wanting to turn on?If you do it could be an issue with the ballast its the board that powers the lamp.Do you hear buzzing,whirling or high pitch sounds? If you do it could be an issue with the color wheel (its the one in charge of creating the colors on your tv.If you don't hear any of that and since tv shut off most likely its just the lamp that needs replacement.Normally the lamp inside your tv last from 1- 1 1/2 yrs.
