I have had the Curtis Mathis 32" TV for a few years. Last night, without warning, it shut off after being on for 4 or 5 minutes. It would not turn back on until I unplugged the power cord and replugged it. Then it was on for 4 or 5 minutes again and shut off. This happened a dozen or so times, at several outlets in the house, so I stopped.

Does anyone know my problem? Should I take it to a repair shop? My concern is a $70 diagnostic bill for a problem that is not repairable. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Your problem is more than likely the microprocessor which can be replaced at a nominal fee. You might want to check out www.FreeFlatScreens.com/default.aspx?referer=7509165 for an opportunity to earn a free replacement for this set with a little effort on your part.

I have an older curtis mathis. It has gradually been fading in and out, both audio and visual, lasting in the duration of 2-3 seconds and it happens about every 5 minutes. What could it be and how should I repair it?
