Remote control stop working. Check batteries and tried new batteries, did not help. Once in awhile it may turn on or off, or turn on but not off or visa versa, other button very seldom works. Tried a programed satelite remote control does the same thing. All the buttons on the TV works alright, but it takes too long to change channel from single digit to double digits. What is wrong and what can I do, thank you.

You have an aging TV and aging capacitors. There may be some bad grounds on the solder side of the main board. You need to first inspect the solder side of the board for bad solder connections. And find an ESR meter. (Capacitor Checker) No doubt you will find some weak capacitors. I would look for those almost anywhere on this TV. This TV is small and you should be able to test each and every electrolytic capacitor. The electrolytics are the caps that look like small cans with two legs. They are rated in Mfs. For example 35 volts @ 100 MF, 16 volts @47 Mf, 25 volts @ 4.7 MF, etc. Test all of them and replace as necessary. Good Luck and thanks for asking. Show a few hands of support.
