As you can see, these are small tac switches but they are independent and are not made by the manufacturer of the tv.
Yes they are cheap ones, but they usually dont go bad especially since i've hardly used them in the whole life of the set.
I dont really have any switch cleaner on hand, but i think i still have some general purpose cleaner spray. I'll have to see if i still have it.
Hi again,
Ok then i guess i'll have to try an experiment. I'll solder two wires to one of the volume switches. I'll use a brand new switch or just short the two wires and see if it works without a problem that way.

I do have some new tac switches around, quite a few actually, and maybe even those very same size and lead spacing.
I would not even care if i had to mount two brand new switches myself and just not use the old ones anymore. No problem there.
Hello again Nigel, killivolt, and KISS,
Thanks for the suggestion to try WD40, and yes i do have that around here somewhere.
LOL..this is funny. I suggested cleaning the switches to start with....and then I am conveniently ignored..
No sweat. Been there before where intelligent people get simple, straightforward answers to an "apparently" complicated question....and then do not trust or believe the advise given...."because it is too simple"....

Step 1. Disconnect the Tac's switching pins with a solder sucker...all of them one Tac at a time. So now, as far as your TV is concerned...it has no tac switches.
Step 2. Turn the TV on. See if nothing crazy is happening...like if you are maybe on Video and it stays there....nothing else.
Step 3. Reconnect one Tac at a time....until the problem comes back...and you will of nailed the one screwing up everything.
If you want your TV to work tonight, you would or should maybe follow this simple advise from a simple tvtech...I deal with this stuff daily....
The choice is yours.
