it was on with the volume blasting


I had one that would turn on at full volume in the middle of the night. This was back in the stone age when you could take a TV to the shop for repairs instead of just throwing it away. Repairman changed out some expensive parts and didn't cure the problem. Took it back to him and he changed out a few cheap parts and it never turned on by itself again.

A drifter lives in your attic and is sneaking down at night, and when you aren't home, to watch tv.

I had a window AC unit in my garage that would also power on/off a TV in the bedroom closest to it.

1. Power surge
2. Faulty/shorted on/off switch
3. CPU board could be damaged from power surge. I've seen a home burn down from a electric smoker that the fire marshall deemed had a bad board.

Jody's got a key and sometimes he just wants to chill and watch some boob tube.

Does it come on around the same time? If so, is it set to come on?

My school put in televisions about 8 years ago (CC TV). They were all the same brand and model. Some times I would bring my remote with me to the work room just so I could turn on the TV's in the classrooms of my fellow teachers on the way. They were always puzzled as to why they turned on by themselves. It was fun for awhile but then my remote broke...the piece of shite
