If you are on Battery pwr,..your batt needs to be replaced. your batt looses amph (current volume "amps", not current voltage) as it ages

If you are on house pwr,..your pwr-in plugg (inverter) is defective, can not sustain a continuouse pwr flow (intermittance)either by broken wire and contacts.

always use manufacturer replacement parts in dealing with this
