So i got this tv and was told it shuts off once in a while on its own. For about a week i had no problem with it. Then last night it shut off after about an hour of watching it, no reponse with the remote of the power button on the tv i had to unplug it and plug it back in then it turn itself back on. Twice more since last night it has down this. Any ideas?

Insignia has made many TVs. Would you please provide a model number

NS-55L260A13 Is the model number. The shutting off is totally random, sometimes it lasts an hour sometimes 4 hours, sometimes all night. I think it has to do with how long I keep it unplugged and let the built up power drain? I see no problems with the capacitors, but I know that doesn't mean there is none bad. But I did check.

The led is red when the TV is off, it blinks a bunch or times when I turn it on, once on there is no led lit. (is that normal?) when the tv shuts off on it's own there is still no led lit. So the tv is actually still on? Just frozen?
