LG Smart TV is powering off by itself
Solution: If the television screen keeps powering itself off and lasts for a few seconds or minutes before powering itself on again, the cable or satellite box might not be outputting a signal. Test the cable’s output signal by pressing the info or guide button on the remote. If the screen does not display the guide, change the TV’s source. If it displays the guide, the cable signal output might be defective and should be replaced. Check if the Sleep Timer / Timer Power Off feature is activated in the Timer's settings. If there is no signal while the TV is on, the TV will turn off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity.

- If other Wi-Fi devices can connect to the Internet at the same location as the TV, then your Wi-Fi router is probably normal. Check the power and Ethernet cables of the Wi-Fi router
- When the Ethernet cable connected to the Wi-Fi router is loose or disconnected, network problems can occur. Check all power and Ethernet cables of the Wi-Fi router to see if the router is set to the recommended wireless settings. If network problems continue, reset your network devices. Check the signal strength of the Wi-Fi router connected to the TV. It is recommended that the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to has 3 or more bars of signal strength.
