1992 Quasar model TP1310FE too hot

This is not unusual--Dish and other remotes even if program will not have all the functions that may be needed---

Follow the money or this case the voltage--follow power cord into the set and to the power supply board--there will be a fuse there---extremely unusual for there not to be blinking lights if the set does not turn on---

Check your ground wire. If its loose or bad. It will cause your amp to run hot, and can damage it

Based on the information provided, it sounds like a bad starter. Even a bad starter when cold will start your car or truck. When a bad starter heats up, it requites more and more power to make it engage. If you've ruled out other possibilities, I'd consider replacing the starter.

Those type of tv sets get unusually hot at times. Could be a heat issue. Power flow at night is the best. If it's still turning off then, it must be a dust or heat issue.

This appears to be a unusual problem but it is not.

If you had a power outage even if the set was not on at the time it can affect the set. The set has a microprocessor that looks at things every time the set is turned on or off.

Even a brief interruption in power can "confuse" the set.

With set turned off, UNPLUG TV FOR AT LEAST TEN MINUTES and then plug back in and see if all returns to NORMAL.

I would hope it does as the other possible cause is something serious is wrong with the microprocessor circuitry in the set.

Let me know if it fixes the problem or not.

sounds like a shorrt to 12v to me. The wire is hot and the fan is shutting off because the blower is bad, getting to hot, it will bind, causing over amperage.

if it was running hot somethinghas melted together and now wont start must be torn apart to see what has failed most likely the vac motor impellar.

the tv is more than likely full of bad current and needs to be discharged. unplug it for about 24 hours, and then plug it back up and try it again......about 12 hours into the unit being unplugged, hold the power button down randomly for about 30 seconds at a time........plug the unit back up, try to turn it on, and listen for any unusual noises.....if you can, try to smell....yes smell.....the vents on the to back side of the tv, to see if anything smells like it is hot, or "frying"....everyone knows the smells of something electrical that is hot, and if you dont, you'll know it when you smell it.

if you encounter any of these issues, the nunplug the tv and dont try it anymore. you're last options would be a warranty exchange through the manufacturer, or taking it to a tv repair shop, or simply buying another tv. it's just limited on what you can do, as far as repairing the unit yourself goes, as there are several part of the tv that can hold enough current for up to 6 months, that WILL kill you, if you even so much as touch them. obviously i do NOT recommend trying to take the unit apart.

This is very likely the tube is starting to show signs of age, If you turn up your contrast or brightness level does it make the picture look smeary? Your description of the menus does suggest strongly that the tube is the problem & seven years old this is not un-common.
