Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I haven't had time to do much with the set, but i'll be able to give it a good going over this weekend. <p>I did give the set a brief inspection though. I plugged it in, and the set would not power up, so I took the case off and had a look. The solder connect...

First off thanks for the suggestions, and as to why a vip has an 80's era television, well, being a vip is no reason to let things go to waste :) <p> It seems I was a little off on the year for this set, it was manufactured July 1991, but it sure looks 80's. The model number is 13SB50.<p>Thanks again.

I have an old, '80s era 13in Sharp TV with a strange problem. It shuts off for no apparant reason, and then wont turn back on again, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for days. When it shuts off, it cannot be turned back on either by the remote, or the button on the set, for an arbitrary period...
