No TV I know turns on by itself. Many reasons why. But the turning off is usually a sign it needs service.
My tv will sometimes work great for days,,,then it will shut off the pic and sound and the red corner light flashes,,,,you have to turn it back on and it may be fine or it may do it again,,,it doesn't turn back on by itsself
