T.V.'s operated by remote control never really turn off --- they are just on "standby". Your remote control actuates a circuit inside the T.V. which lets the picture tube be seen. A new remote control may fix it, but it is more likely that your T.V. has a bad Silicon Controlled Switch (SCS) which must be replaced by a repairman.

It's probably the remote. The same thing happened to me. I bought one of those "one for all" remotes at Wal Mart for about $8.00 and its been working ever since.

If it's 10 years old already it sound like you need to go TV shopping. Could call a repair shop and see if they have any ideas/suggestions as to what it could be.

Dude, my reaction upon seeing the website having been close-down by utilising the feds became into same to yours. lol That being total and utter ask your self and disbelief. I recommend Jesus Christ, what's next? Torrents starting to be unlawful to the element of a legal? What follows then? Tobacco? Alcohol? purple ******* meat and touch activities? lol
