I have a TCL Roku tv. It starts and plays fine.....but shuts off after about 17 minutes. I can unplug and turn in on again......get 17 more minutes.
Tv's are cheap now. Time to seek a repair......or get a new one ?

Go online and search for the power board. Also search the model number and symptoms of the TV.

Aren't TCL TV's the ones with a built in back door so the Chinese Gov't can eavesdrop on you ?

You didn't say how big the TV screen was. I bought a 70" vizio for $600 at Costco.
Again, check the web for issues. I was able to replace several capacitors in a couple of TVs that wouldn't start a few years ago. Cost me about $10 a TV for known warranty issues that the manufacturers wanted $70 just to send somebody out to look. I'll never buy another panasonic tv again. Same with Leveno computers.
I have several 40"+ HD TVs sitting around now. Fully functional. Wife won't let me sell them. Don't ask.
I bet you can find some slightly used 40-50" 4K TVs for less than a hundred dollars at an estate sales this weekend.

The tv is back !
Just in time to watch "Back to the Future II."
No telling how long it will last.
