Default RCA 36v550T Intermittent On and picture overscan

I have a RCA 36v550T set that will sometimes not turn on. If it does come
on the picture is overscanned vertically(top to bottom). Also sometimes the
closed captions come on by them self as does the menu. Sometimes the menu
has jibberish(#@$!#$%^&%^&) kind of like that.

Also sometimes it locks me out of a whole section of channels(says I need to
enter a code) but the channels are not locked out. Also it has come on very
dark and snowy a couple of times. I think maybe micro bad . Any one else
had one of these?

Thanks in advanced

Have you tried Chipper Checker with the set?
