TV goes off and on for 5-10 minutes after being turned on

Our Vizio 55" LCD TV has been, for the last 10 years or so, turning off and on again for a minimum of 5 minutes after the power button is pressed - by either the button on the side of the tv or on the remote.

It gets too much to even want to watch tv when you get up in the morning or come in to watch a live show or film on the tv any time we want.

any answers ?

You likely have bad capacitors on your power supply board. After you take the back off, look for capacitors on the power supply that are slightly bulged on the top. You might even see some small brown spots of "goo" on them too. Replace those and then test. Let us know the results. If they are successful I will want to have a beer and pat myself on the back. If you still have trouble or do not see any capacitors in that condition, then we will guide you through the next steps to be taken to pin down the culprit.
