I've had my BOLVA LG SMART TV for about three years without any issues, but recently it started turning off and on repeatedly. I tried unplugging it overnight and even did a full power cycle, but that didn't help. I can't share a video since this community doesn't allow it, but I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's wrong with it!

It sounds like a few things could be going wrong here. First, check if it’s overheating or if there’s anything obstructing the remote sensor. Sometimes a stuck button or a faulty circuit breaker could cause this behavior too. Try giving the buttons a good press and wiggle, and if that doesn't work, plug the TV into a different outlet.
Just to add, my house is old and not grounded, which caused similar issues with my devices. Might want to check that if you haven’t!
Another possibility here is that a recent firmware update might have gone wrong during installation. If you powered off the TV while it was updating, it could have caused some problems. I'd recommend reaching out to the manufacturer’s support and asking about a recovery or reset process. You might need a USB stick and a Windows PC for that.
It seems like the TV shuts off whenever it tries to load HDMI 1. I managed to use Prime Video without issues, but switching back to HDMI 1 caused the shutdown again. That's definitely odd! Might be an HDMI issue.
I tried unplugging my HDMI cords too, and that seemed to help temporarily. Just a tip!
