Can you help fix my standby problem?

My Phillips TV wont go from standby to on (at least 99% of the time). When I turn the TV on the standby light goes red, and after a few seconds you hear a click and it starts flashing. It should turn green and if you press the on off buttone 20 or 30 times eventually it works OK.

The TV is 5 years old, not a flat screen, but a big 32 inch. The TV repair shop says it's uneconomic to repair - but it must be soemthing simple. I used to be good at electronics - but that was 20 years ago - any suggestions?
