Philips TV turning on by itself

by Dani_20016

I’m looking for some help with my Philips TV. It turns itself on by itself, this started happening about 6 months ago and can’t figure it out. I have checked the HDMI CEC settings, which is called Easylink on a Philips. I have turned the function off but it’s still happening. I have also tried updating the software and using new HDMI cables.

Anyone know if this is a known issue? I have googled and found several people online with the same issue, but none seem to get it to work.

PS, the turning on usually happens at night, sometimes it takes 3 hours, sometimes 6, sometimes it happens instantly when you turn it off. And other times it just stays off. So the problem is intermittent.

Thanks!

Try replacing remote batteries as low batteries can send erroneous signals.

Same for me, happens once in a while, when I get up in the morning, it is on (fortunately the sound is always off). Maybe happened 10 times in 4 years, so I'm not bothering trying to find the cause...

I also get this on my Samsung Smart TV... Have happened a few times (6-7 times) these couple of years (3 years or so). I've tried to find a cause, but didn't find anything, so I don't bother to look up a solution anymore, since it doesn't happen that often 😅

I’m having the same issue and it started Christmas Eve night. You turn it completely off and it acts like you just did a restart. Christmas Day was fine but it’s back doing the same thing tonight…
