Okay, so just now, one of the TVs of the house started to flicker on the screen and the red light at the bottom kept flashing. I couldn't turn it off if I tried. I even tried unplugging it to see if it would be back on line, but no, it still flashed like a strobe light. Is the TV dead? What's the problem?

An even better question is why did the TV in my room switched on by itself and will only show a grainy image of an old well in a field?

Okay, I was just asking a serious question. I didn't expect this.

how old is it? Mine flickers really bad sometimes, but I can still control it, it just fritzes out here and there, google claims it's a connection inside failing or an electrical component failing. Mine is like 16 years old though so I'm amazed it's lasted this long tbh

Okay, I was just asking a serious question. I didn't expect this. I mean, I am pretty sure you know the answer to your question. These things are not designed to last long because how else will you be forced to buy a new TV if you have a perfectly functioning one at home? |

Mine is like 16 years old though so I'm amazed it's lasted this long tbh I think we got that TV back in either 2012 or 2013, maybe 2014. I tried to plug the TV in and the same flickering black screen is up with the red light flashing. |

It's either dead or haunted.
So something died to cause this.
