Turning the TV on with the computer via a relay??
Mark70:
Can you find another model number on your tv. I didn't find much when I googled that number. It turned up on a list of tv parts. Maybe the actual tube number itself. What about a tv model #.
On a side note, I have a JVC tv with one of those one position type switches. My surround sound amp has a special socket which will turn the tv on. Not sure how, but it does it. I'm not suggesting that you put an amp in your cabinet. Just find out how that's done.
I built spystyles relay based smart strip too. I love it, but no problems since I'm using a computer monitor.

I'll check the model number agian when I get back to the workshop.
Which probably won't be till monday, though I might find a bit of time tomorrow. I have kinda hacked the case up (hence why I used the number from the tube assuming they'd be the same) but all the bits are still around so I'll find the model number with a little rummaging... I'll get back to you on that one.

Heh... ok I'm feeling a little stupid now but I'll swallow my pride.
Just got back from dropping into the workshop quicky, it seems that you are absoltely right. If I had even half a brain I would have picked up on it though seeing as the TV isn't even an LG. :dunno
As it turns out its a TEAC model no. CT-M5928TXT
Hope that helps.
Also I'm still wondering if using the relay will kill it if it is in fact a momentary style switch. Seems to me that while it probably won't work it shouldn't hurt too much.
I'm going to try it tomorrow unless someone knows its a bad idea and can save me from myself.
