Chuckle  you are losing your backlight. since it does it after a while, it could be an issue with the power board. You will have to remove the back of your TV and take a look at the boards. Check for any obvious damage like charred, missing or leaking, domed capacitors etc. Post some images of your boards with your question so that we can see what you see. Use this guide Adding images to an existing question for that. You will possibly need a multimeter to check a few things if nothing opbvious shows up. Let us know what you find. Also, please verify the exactodel number of your TV
