This TV shuts itself off after a few seconds. Same problems as everyone else here. Had it for about a year and then it started all of a sudden. First I thought it was ghosts. Now I know it is just a bad product.

This is obviously due to a design issue. I'm sure that some engineer messed up when calculating how big of a heat sink they need to prevent some part from melting on the circuit board. Whoops.

Disney should be ashamed of the embarrassment this is to their products division and issue a recall.

We purchased this about 6 months ago. The DVD player died first, and would no longer read discs. Then the TV started shutting off after 10 to 15 minutes, then would not turn on at all. Warranty is only 90 days, where major brands are 1 year. STAY AWAY!!!!

We've only had this tv 6 months, & it's only been on a handful of times. It started turning off by itself when my son was trying to watch a DVD. Now it comes on for a few seconds with a line-filled screen then turns off again. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone!

I found that mine had a cold solder (dry joint) on the Horizontal Output Transformer.

DANGER: High voltages are involved so leave the TV disconnected for several days before attempting this fix. Do not attempt without knowing what you are doing and taking the proper precautions.

The HOT is a black transformer with a thick red wire coming out the top. Remove the circuit board from the TV, and look at the transformers pins underneath. Get a soldering iron and some fresh solder, and resolder those pins (add fresh solder to each joint with the soldering iron). Reassemble and test.

Mine fired up great :)

My son received this t.v. as a Christmas present. We have currently contacted the manufacturer as the t.v. has started to give off a strong burning plastic smell. It has given my son headaches. We also had some problems with the functionality of the t.v. Would not recommend.

We bought this TV for our son last Christmas and haven't used it until about a month ago. Everything was going fine until last week when it started shutting off by itself after being on for only 20 seconds. I thought maybe it was something wrong with the wire that plugs into the wall. After unplugging it and plugging it back in, the TV would come on for a few seconds and then shut off again. I was planning on taking it to a repair center only to find out that they will not repair Disney TV's and that I would have to go through Disney to get it repaired.

Only after reading the other reviews have I since learned there is only a 90 day warranty which has expired, that it will cost $85 for Disney to fix it plus shipping, and that it has been happening to tons of other people. This TV should be recalled and I do not see how they can get away with ripping people off like this.

I bought this tv for my son for Christmas. After only a few hours of use the DVD would not eject. Tried manually taking it out and there doesnt' appear to be any way of manually removing the DVD. Wish I had read some of the reviews here prior to purchasing this piece of garbage. Now my son is disappointed because I'll have to find another tv. All the other features seem to work ok but also isn't very "kid" friendly on the remote or tv functions. For instance to play a DVD you have to go to the input screen and press through the scroll to get to DVD. At least it happened early enough to take it back to get a refund. Still, my son is sad because his cars tv will have to go back.
P.S. There is a technical support number which wasn't much help because all you can do is try to leave a message but ironically the mailbox was FULL!

This TV is garbage...the warranty is ony valid for 90 days. my kids tv is barely 5 months old and it is all messed up. It turns off by itself after a few seconds. Disney Tech support will offer me a list of places to ship the thing to be fixed...ALL AT MY COST. So now I have a nice $150 paper weight. Do not waste your money. the cuteness is not worth the hassle.

While the DVD is starting to go, my kids have had this TV for about 3 years. You have to be patient with the DVD player and my oldest son has realized after it hums for about 4-5minutes, it will quietly start up. The outer shell was the selling point so it's held up and the picture quality has remained reliable too (consistent heavy use ....and it still works fine!!)

My son loves this tv.....until it just started to shut itself off after about 10 seconds. I am not going to pay $100 to fix this. It is going to the curb and I will NEVER buy Disney electronics again.
