MOTM

Since this list, MOTM and Paul got me seriously into
electronics, I feel a special kinship here.

So in my journey, I now get asked to fix all manner of
electronic devices.  Fortunately most of them are
blatantly obvious problems--turn it on, it isn't
plugged in all of the way, replace the batteries, or a
small cold solder joint.

I now have one that is out of my (minor, minor)
league.  A friend has a TV set that is difficult to
turn on.  You hear it clickwhen you press the power
button , but nothing happens.  Press the button again
and hear a slightly different click and still nothing
happens.  Repeat many times, then wait about 5 minutes
and try it again and it works.  Occassionally it will
turn off by itself especially if it hasn't been on for
too long.

I know this is way OT, so I apologize.

If anyone knows what the problem is or has some good
suggestions, I would love to hear from you.

Please reply to me privately.

Thanks!
Shemp
