Yup, actually there's two 1000 mfs on that end of the board, one @16V and the other @10V. Turned out the 10V one was bad. Replaced it and the unit works fine now. Might as well replace the rest as long as I got 'em. Thanks

When I started reading this thread, I started to look up listings on epay. There was several makes listed. The Zeniths and Insignia units were generally missing the remotes, but were cheap. The Magnavoxes are totally "dead in the water" without some kind of a remote.
On most of them, you can use a universal remote, but you can't rescan or change the parameters, as it wont access the menus.
