my tv jvc ,the on timer is blinking and never stop blinking on and on,and before ten seconds it went off, leaving no time to tune,but continue to blink. help please

My On Timer will not stop blinking and the television will not stay on over 10 seconds. The On Timer blinker (red) blinks until I unplug the power and then plug it in again or until I turn the power off and on again. The T.V. will come on after I do this but only for a few seconds and then the On Timer starts to blink again. The T.V. does not stay on long enough to change the On Timer or do anything to try to correct this problem. How can this problem be resolved? Reply

Hi Jorge I have the same problem for my JVC TV too. The Timer LED keeps blinking. May I know if you have solve it ? I called the local rep and they will charge me SG$80 to repair it. Thks a lot Vtec

I have the exact same problem with my TV.I found a web site where someone else was experiencing the same problem and suggested disconnecting the power for approx. 4 hours to clear the internal memory chip. Plugging back in after 4 hours should cause the TV to start with preset factory conditions. I tried it but it still does not work. Could it be my VCR that it is connected to that is causing the problem?

Got the same problem. Any ideas on how to fix it?
