same problem on same model. I cannot get it to 'start up' from standby. No sound, no signal at all on the screen. What is up? Thought the remote batteries might be flat, but new batteries didnt solve it. I do have a manual, but it isnt accessible to me at present, so i cant look up any useful info it might have!

How old is this TV?
My experiance is to not put money into a TV that is over ten years old. TVs stress out their electronic components worse than almost any other electronic product. After 10 years, there are so many parts that are ready to fail that your are probably wasting your money trying to get any more life out of it.
Be careful on buying a new one though. Often times, these new technology ones are much worse. Always Google the model number of the set you intend to buy and add the word 'repair' or 'complaint' to see if it is one of the many models that are customer service nightmares being produced by even the most reputable companies today.
