Just as out of the blue the TV is powering up this morning. For how
long, to be seen. Given the quality of this TV and the transition to
HDTV that's about to occur in the US, if it were a simple repair,
keeping this one in order for another two years or so is preferable to
forking out $400 dollars or more for a quality new box to meet my basic
purposes (TV, occasional VCR). Thanks.

If all else fails pull the power cord for a week and then try.

It has failed again and the plug's pulled. Voodoo, or is there
something known to this? Thanks.
