Television Engineer wanted

Hi,
I have a SONY trinitron model No KVX2282U.
About 9 years old now has recently started playing up.
The problem is that the remote receiver doesn't always respond to the button pressed on the remote control -- till you bang the TV, or, pick it up and drop it a few inches. That'll cure it for maybe a day or more then back comes the problem. (Definately NOT the batteries in the remote)
Either a dry joint or a loose chip, I suspect.
Would you agree? If so whereabouts will I find the misbehaving component and what does it look like?
Got to solve this as I don't want to replace the set till I move in 10 Mths and If I carry on Bashing/dropping it, it'll pack up altogether, I suspect.
any help gratefully received,
Riz

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

Ring 08706111999 (someone might be able to find a none 0870 number) it's Sony's consumer information centre. Ask them if they can suggest a local repair agent.0

Thanks for that but since it probably just wants something pushing into place I think I can manage that myself. No waiting in and no charge. Wot this board is all about, I think you'll agree."Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it."Post Count: 4,111 Thanked 3,111 Times in 1,111 Posts (Actual figures as they once were))Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.0
