Bush TV Keeps Turning Off? – Here’s How to Fix

The Bush TV keeps turning off all of a sudden, and you’re starting to get worried? Fear not!

We can understand your concern when your Bush TV unexpectedly keeps turning off whenever you turn it on.

There are different factors that cause your Bush TV to keep turning off, such as a faulty power source, loose cable connection, faulty remote control, or corrupted TV firmware.

The solution involves power circulation, outlet inspection, and TV equipment verification.

Let’s move forward to discuss the troubleshooting steps!

9 Ways to Fix When Bush TV Keeps Turning OFF?

1. Power Reset Your Bush TV

One of the most obvious reasons why your Bush TV is turning off can be power issues with the device that can be easily resolved by power resetting your TV.

This quick and effective solution resolves all temporary bugs and glitches in your device and restores its functionality in minutes.

Here is how to power reset your Bush TV:

1. First, unplug your TV from the power outlet.
2. Locate the power button on your Bush TV.
3. Press and hold the button for 15 seconds.
4. Leave your device unplugged for 2 minutes.
5. Lastly, plug your TV back into the wall outlet.

If your Bush TV is plugged into a surge protector, disconnect it and try plugging your TV directly into the wall socket.

If it is already directly plugged in, but still the issue persists, then try plugging your TV into the outlet using a surge protector.

If the issue persists with your Bush TV, move on to try other steps!

2. Check for Bush TV Overheating!

Your Bush TV may be overheating, which is why the device keeps turning off even after power resetting the television. That occurs due to a lack of airflow, continuous use, heat exposure, or residual power in the components. 

Here is what you need to do to prevent Bush TV from overheating:

When your Bush TV is completely cooled down, plug your unit into a power outlet and turn it on using your remote control.

Wait for about 5 minutes while idling to determine whether the Bush TV turns off when you’re streaming something or turns off even when you’re not doing anything!

Warning: Overheating can permanently damage your Bush TV's internal components!

3. Inspect the TV Power Connection!

A loose power cable connection between your Bush TV and the wall outlet can prevent the outlet from properly supplying power to the TV, which sometimes results in a random shutdown.

So, ensure your TV’s power cable is securely attached and plugged into a working wall outlet.

Here is how to inspect your Bush TV power connection:

Step #1 Check the TV Power Outlet:

1. Disconnect your Bush TV from the current power outlet.
2. Plug a different device into the Bush TV electrical outlet.
3. Then, test whether your secondary device is operational.

If your Bush TV power outlet is operational, inspect the power cord!

Step #2 Check the Power Connection:

1. First, disconnect your Bush TV from the power outlet.
2. Also, disconnect the power cord from your Bush TV.
3. Inspect the power cord for damage or other defects.
4. Firmly reconnect the power cord to the Bush TV port.
5. Plug the Bush TV power cable back into the wall outlet.

If the power issue persists with your Bush TV, you must look at other possibilities!

4. Remove the Bush Remote Batteries!

There is a chance that your Bush TV remote control is malfunctioning, dirty, or running on low batteries.

Maybe that’s why it sends an unintended or interfering signal to your TV, causing it to shut down, restart, or behave weirdly unexpectedly.

• Simply eject the batteries from the remote control.

When the Bush TV remote control batteries are disconnected, the remote wouldn’t be able to send false signals and turn off the TV. 

So, leave your Bush TV idling with the remote’s batteries disconnected to see whether the television will turn off.

Tip: Use compressed air around the buttons and battery compartment to blow out debris and reduce the chances of moisture.

5. Switch to a Different Wall Outlet

Remember that your Bush TV requires a constant power voltage to adequately supply power to your TV’s power and circuit boards.

Switching to a different wall outlet can be an excellent workaround when your Bush TV keeps powering off to determine an outlet malfunction.

• Connect your Bush TV to an outlet from another fuse!

Typically, the number of fuses on the primary circuit reflects the number of rooms or floors in the house or apartment.

So when a fuse is blown or malfunctioning, the electrical supply on the AC line might be disrupted, which can make (not only your Bush TV) but other appliances turn off.

So, connect your Bush TV to another electrical outlet from another room (on a different fuse) on your primary circuit.

This will help you find out whether the issue is related to the power supply.

6. Disconnect All HDMI Connections!

When your Bush TV keeps turning on and off repeatedly, the device might be working perfectly, but only the screen goes black.

This typically appears due to a fault with the HDMI connection, so you would need to inspect the source device or test your Bush television’s raw video output.

• Simply unplug all HDMI cables from the back of the Bush TV.

Make sure your Bush TV has only a power cable connected to it. After you are done, plug the power cord of your TV directly into the wall outlet and test whether the Bush television works!

Tip: Test the raw output of your Bush TV by streaming installed applications!

7. Check for the Power OFF Timer

Bush TVs have a power-off timer that automatically turns on and off your device according to the chosen specific time.

In such a case, it is a great idea to look for the timer settings on your Bush device and try to adjust the time span according to your preference or simply disable it. 

Here is how to check the Bush TV auto power-off timer:

1. Press the “Menu” button on your remote. 
2. Scroll in the menu and choose “Settings.”
3. Choose “Other Setting” and press “OK.”
4. Scroll down and choose “Auto TV OFF“.
5. Change the time preference or “Disable“.

Info: When the power timer is “OFF”, the Bush TV can only be manually powered off!

8. Update the Bush TV’s Firmware!

Sometimes, outdated or corrupted firmware version causes random shutdowns to your Bush TV, but don’t worry, perhaps the TV is attempting to update.

Sometimes, when an OS update fails, the TV might get stuck in a boot loop or constantly restart in an attempt to update itself.

Here are the simple steps to update your Bush TV firmware:

1. First, press the Menu button on your TV remote.
2. Scroll to the Settings and press the OK button.
3. Scroll to the “Software Update” and choose OK.
4. Highlight the “Scan for Update” and press “OK.”
5. Wait for the Bush TV to scan available updates.
6. If an update is found, press the “Install” option.

If no latest update is available for your Bush TV, then your device is already updated! 

9. Factory Reset Your Bush TV

If your Bush TV keeps powering off even after trying every troubleshooting method in this guide, then factory resetting your TV may help.

Remember that this will erase all custom settings and data and revert all settings of your TV to its default state, so back anything you want to keep!

Here is the way to factory reset the Bush TV:

1. Push the “Menu” button on your TV remote.
2. Scroll down through the on-screen menu.
3. Highlight “Install and Retune” and tap OK.
4. Go to “First-time installation” and tap OK.
5. Then, select “Yes” to confirm your selection.
6. Press the OK button to start the reset reset.
