Check the degaussing posistor. Replace it. It can be located at the main power regulator section. Will look like this.

Possible that the power supply has issues and can be related to a faulty storage capacitor in the main circuit. If this has reduced in value then the + B will be low and so the SWITCH mode can be fluctuating thereby producing the low voltage effect.Please check the secondary + B and confirm the SMPS.

Ge is the most common universal remot make in the world, they make most all the universal remotes for everyone. Go to Walmart and get on for 10 buck or less and you will be back in business. With no channel buttons working this is your only choice.

The AV Multi Out plug that is included with the Wii will allow you to connect the console to most TVs or VRCs. First, look at the back of your television AND your VCR and see if you have colored holes label "Input". Though most TVs have them, almost all VCRs do as well. If you are unable to find a set of yellow, red, and white AV inputs on the back of your TV, try looking on the sides, top, and bottom of the TV. Look for any hidden panels or doors as well.

Ok.. What is the status of the LED at the front?

I have a magnavox 31' CRT that did that to me. Turns out the power button on the TV gets stuck and so the slightest vibration of somebody walking past (wood floors) would cause it to power on or off. It would also keep the remote control from working until someone tapped the switch to un-stick it. Small problem considering the TV is 18 years old and still looking good.

No short, more like an open. Not familiar with this exact model but have seen cold-solder joints on similar ones near the power supply. As long as you are comfortable working around serious potential voltages and are capable with a soldering iron you should be able to find it. Otherwise call a repair shop.

You can also press 00 on the remote

the only thing i see is getting a UPS and plug tv into it. manufactures dont put batteries in tv's because most people dont unplug their tv.
using a UPS to maintain memory and plugging UPS to keep UPS battery at peak charge

No, it's not digital. If she has cable service, however, it won't be a problem, come February 2009 as cable services are supposed to supply the ability to "convert."

check electrolitc capacitors in horizontal circuit

Try selecting channel 00 enter on remote.....I am assuming
you are missing the original GE remote that has an input button
