I have a 27 inch Norcent LDC TV. For the past couple months the TV has been turning on and off by itself! I will be watching tv then all of a sudden the TV would just turn off. When the tv is on the power light is orange and when it's off the power light is blue. Sometimes when the tv flips off the pink light will flash a few times before it finally turns blue. Usually it will just stay off until I hit the power button on my remote but there have been several occasions when it just turned back on on it's own WITHOUT me manually doing it.
There has also been a couple of times when I have woken up in the middle of the night and the tv is on! My remote is all the way across the room so no way did I turn the tv on myself. And I ALWAYS turn the tv off before I turn in for the night. I now just totally unplug the tv from the wall before I go to bed. I don't have it on sleep mode either.
I have no idea what's up. I emailed Norcent and they never replyed.

Its happening becuse Norcent isnt a good TV. You get what you pay for.
It sounds like an Overheating problem. Most TV's have a safety feature that will automatically shut the system off if it gets above a certain temp. Keep trying to get a hold of Norcent, If your TV is still under warranty, it should be covered.
Be sure to check the settings in the menue to make sure its not set to turn off or on at diffrent times.
If it turns on randomly, then there could be something interfering with it like a wireless internet connection or a cordless phone, or an other radio device. Look in your manual and go to the trouble shooting section, it usually has some popular problems and will tell you what to do.

Norcent makes pretty bad electronics/TV just like walmart.
Usually they are unable to be fixed due to cheap/no support on products.
Buy a quality Sony LCD, they are made to last.
