The brass colored part of the metal marked POWER is touch sensitive like a microwave oven keypad. It provides no feedback so most people used a lot more force than necessary breaking the hinge and ribbon cable in the process which is why it won't turn on when you press it.

Gotcha!

Thanks for your help!

I did not understand that "strip" was a "touch sensitive panel."

The TV works great!

Thanks again to everyone for their help!

I don't know much about this era of Zenith but I've never seen a control panel like that. The hour and minute set and parental control buttons are interesting because it appears to have an LCD channel display at the left. Or is this really an OSD equipped set or both LCD and OSD?

That "LCD channel display" is the IR window for the remote. There's an OSD with time on these sets.
