| PiNPOiNT:
The TV that i have in my arcade cabinet unforutnatly doesnt turn on if you leave it turned on once you apply power to it. Resulting in having to push the power button each time after powering up the computer. Does anyone know a work around to this? If i leave it on all the time without the rest of the machine turned on, then it has a big "AUX" input logo in the top right that is always on, and im worried that, that will burn in. I have a monitor bezel and a piece of glass currently infront of the tv, which adds to the problem. |

Then remove the IR transmitter, extend it with wires, and put it right next to your tv. I did this with an RCA universal remote ~$8, instead of using the actual TV remote. My IR sensor was covered so I had to find an alternative. --- End quote --- |

Instead of wiring to the power button on the remote, and moving the ir xmiter and all, why not wire to the power button on the tv? ??? |

I thought i read somewhere on here that they decased the tv and then soldered the power button circuit closed. Dunno what your tv looks like as far as decasing it but it could be something to consider......... |

The only reason I didn't want to do that is because I didnt' want to do anything to the TV in case one day I want to remove it and just use it as a TV. Thus the reason for the remote, and not the original remote buy an el' cheapo universal remote and hack it. |
