Philips FR 965 power troubleshooting

Thread Starter 
I got a used Philips FR 965 home theatre receiver the other day and it looks and seems good, but it is doing what another older Kenwood receiver of mine was doing - when you press in the power button it comes on and then kicks directly into 'standby' mode. The screeen flashes text for a second when you press the power button in, but it immediately switches to 'standby' with a loud click.

When my old Kenwood did this, it was under warranty and I sent it to be repaired, but this one I of course can not. I'd love to get it working, are ther any ideas on what I could do?

Did anyone figure out what causes this? Seems to vary with the volume.

i have the very same problem here, it starts with some noise like signal rca ground, i start checking and it was a bad s-video cable, wich runs out my dvd, so i take that out, and noticed something, my stupid brother just take out the front speakers cable and let it on the floor with out any duct tape or anything, i do reconnect the speakers, then simply goes stand by mode

today i start the tearing apart hehehe, and i think it can be one the little chip (eeproms) located behind the control panel so i remove the white ribbon, the one looking like an ide connector for a hard drive, and guess what it turns on, but when you connect the ribbon just goes back to stand by mode, maybe requires a flash on one of the little pin chips, same thing happen to a lap top that i use to have, just shorted 2 of the pins and start working normally, im gonna find more info but there sems to be nothing about this amp, high five from mexico men
