you should find the power relay and short it to see if it comes on every

since it has a remote another possibility is low voltage in the standby

(check voltage on the coil side of the relay and standby transformer)

Thanks so much, that is sort of what I was thinking it could be.
now I just need to find the relay, but I have some direction. I can
probably follow the power cord to that.

I appreciate the help
