why would a tv set turn off by itself?

did you pay your electricity bill?

At work we just got motion sensitive switches.  If there isn't any movement for so long, the lights turn themselves off.  Saves a bunch on electricity.  Of course they automatically turn themselves back on when we walk through.

It is possible that it is set to use an external monitor, If you had it hooked to one hook it up again and go to display settings.

Nope - turn off the monitor, though, because that consumes a lot more power than the computer itself. Leaving your computer on is actually even better for it, because most failures happen when you turn it off and back on.

try a t.v repairman might have one on the cheap

You probably have an old videocard that dosen't support dual displays. That means you have to turn off the computer, disconect the monitor, plug in the TV and turn it back on.

I think it's mostly a bad habit. If I start watching it, it's hard to turn off. But if I don't turn the TV on I usually don't even think about it.

the computer turns off, because you might be eitehr using MS windows 2000 or MS Windows XP service pack 1 which had lot of errors. USe MS_windows XP Service PAck 2 for the computer to run better. Hope it solves your problem, enjoy.

there should be a botton (like a light switch) that you can push to see if your light shuts off! but your prolly jus asking this ? to be a smart ass!  \n\n*sometimes when im board i like to put my little brother in there to make sure it shut off!

You are quite correct that once the TV is switched off there is a great deal of energy built up in the device.\n\nHow much depends on the type of TV and the size obviously.\n\nLets take a conventional TV with a Tube (a Cathode Ray Tube). Switching off the power at the wall plug would leave the following:-\n\n1) There will be a small amount of electric charge on surface of screen, this will not amount to many Joules of energy though.\n\n2) Electrical capacitors (or Cans as they are called) inside the TV will be charged up. These may slowly leak their charge away or they may stay charged until the next time the telly is turned on.\n\n3) any magnetic fields around transformers or windings in the TV will radiate their energy into the room as the fields collapse, or induce small currents in the circuits they are in that will soon decay.\n\n4) The vast majority of residual energy will stored as heat, the telly will be hot. TVs with conventional glass Tubes are use a lot of power, especially large colour sets and they will be cooking when you turn them off, they will slowly cool down loosing this heat by convection to the room.\n\nModern TVs with LCD screens run much cooler because they handle much less energy. They build negligable charge on the screen and have smaller capacitors and transformers inside.\n\nOf course if you switch your set to standby you will continue to use a little energy all the time it is not in use.

It could be a 'wake on lan' event.  Depending on your computer, OS, and network adapter, search for that to find out how to switch it off.

I never turn mine off. as i run BOINC 24/7\nI set my moniter to turn off after 1 min. to save power when i am not around

If you program to do that, then... It will do it by itself. If you turn off a computer, you must reboot to restart it. If you have it hibernate, it does not need to reboot.

Usually i have to buy a new TV after the gun 'accidental' goes off...

Could be a bad monitor - sometimes that happens.\nOr there could be something that's causing interference such as a cell phone charging nearby, a fan running etc...

Wer them out,a simple no no dont work.Turn off the tv for a week,and slow down,be an example.
