We own a philips magnavox tr2503 c121 television. It was in a common room used by the public. All of a sudden it started turning on and off spontaneously.
We assumed that someone had programmed it the sleep mode. Eventually, it stopped turning on altogether. The remote has since disappeared.
Can anyone tell us how to get it to turn on again. I cannot find a remote to match it. Can anyone help in that area either?
Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated.

sci.electronics.repair is the proper place to ask this question.
hit the channel button, many TVs will wake up for that. OTOH your TV could be faulty.

We have a similar Philips TV, 32 inch, about 5 years old. Our problem - turns off for a few seconds, then back on, repeat for a few minutes... then usuallyOK fora couple of hours. Called local repair guy - he said Philips had a bad batch of tubes (his theory) and had seen several like ours. Apparently the Blue Gun flashes over (?) causing power supply to reset the TV. Fix is new tube, but they are too expensive/rare to make it a cost-effective repair. Suggested new TV, recommended Samsung. my 2p... hth Neil
