VIDEO: TV turns on by itself
There are many households in which the television suddenly and unexpectedly comes on by itself. Often there is talk of some kind of ghosts. Of course, this is by no means the case. In most cases, the cause is a problem with the technology.
The TV turns on by itself
- A common reason the TV will turn on by itself is because you accidentally touched the power button on the remote control. If it wasn't you, your children or pets could be too.
- Perhaps you have also placed the remote control from the satellite receiver or the DVD player on the remote control of the television. The power button is also often pressed.
- If the remote control is a bit older, the power button could already have a loose contact.
- If you can rule out that the problem is with the remote, there is another reason that the TV turned on by itself.

The TV turns on despite an intact remote control
- It is entirely possible that there is a conflict with other remotes in the house. These do not necessarily have to be in your household. Sometimes it also happens that your neighbor has the same television as you. Then he could also turn your television on and off with his remote control.
- If this is not the case and your TV still turns on by itself, lights that can be switched on by touch could be the cause of this problem.
- The last options would then be remote-controlled sockets, dimmers and timers. If you operate such electronic devices in your household, you have to switch them off for a short time. Then the television should no longer turn on by itself.
If you can rule out all of the above and the TV still comes on by itself, you should have the device checked by a professional. Then there is a high probability that there is a technical defect.
