Re: TV problem - need help

How old is it?
I've never really heard of something like that. I have a pre-amp that won't work with the remote unless it's turned on at the box. Sometimes the kids turn it off at the box, then remote doesn't work etc. Your problem sounds similar so it might be a switching problem or it's getting low power and turning itself off.
What happens if you unplug and replug it in from the wall? Does it act the same? Could be a low power problem. What else is on the circuit? Anything running when it happened? Air conditioner or microwave?
