Your t.v. itself is the problem I'm guessing. Is the t.v. decassed? If not, you could jam the power button in the on position. This will make it so when it gets the power, it automatically comes on like everything else. If it is decassed, just clamp down the power tab with something. On one I did, I used a clothespin to keep it pressed in. Hope this makes sense. If not, try the search option.
