So, if your TV keeps rebooting, we have some quick fixes for you.
Check for the overheating issue
Whenever the Panasonic TV starts rebooting itself, the first main reason is the over-heating problem. Dust build-up in the vents or broken fans can overheat the TV, resulting in the issue. To avoid overheating, follow the tips below:

- Check whether the TV fan is broken and replace it.
- Place the TV in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid keeping any object or device near the TV.
- Turn on the air-conditioner or room fan to avoid overheating.
Disable the auto-standby mode
Most Panasonic TVs have an auto-standby mode that turns the TV off if it is not in use for a certain amount of time. It is an excellent feature to save power or energy, but it might cause the TV to reboot even when it is used.
To turn off the auto-standby mode, do the following:
- First, press the Menu button on the supplied remote control.
- Select the Setup option in the menu and press the OK button.
- Now, choose the Other Settings option and press the OK on the remote.
- Next, navigate to the Auto-standby option by pressing the OK.
- Set the auto standby mode to Off by pressing the left or right button.
- Finally, your TV will stop rebooting itself, and you can enjoy watching your favorite shows.
