Riddled TV Repair Forum

I've kept this set going for some time now, thanks in no small part to the wonderful guidance I've received on this forum. However, we've run into another problem.

The power switch has been acting strangely for a while now. It started out by taking a couple of pushes to get it to turn on. Then it just stopped working. We were able to use a remote to get the set to turn on after that, but my nephew (who is two) was able to get his mitts on the remote and (apparently) mashed the right buttons to wipe the remote's memory. It's one of those "universal" jobs that replaced the original TV remote when it went Tango Uniform.

Anyway, I think I have a defective power switch. How hard of a repair is this? I diagnosed and replaced a board in this set before, so I've done some work on it in the past. Is it any more difficult than that? Does anyone have any photos or other guidance of how to do this?

Thanks!

George.
