the on /off rocker switch is faulty and has to be replaced.
my father gave me he`s tv last night and i diagnosed the problem and stripped down the tv and bypassed the switchtill i get a new switch.
the only problem is there are about 20 screws to undo and the rocker has to be re-soldered back in( not a hard job)
hope this helps
