Sony KV-X2982U standby problem

[Milsec]

Hello all,

Can anyone advise on this:

The set will go into standby when switched on from cold. Pressing any button on the remote will only sometimes brings it back on.
Sometimes waiting a bit before trying again or unplugging or fiddling with the SCART conector on the back brings it back to life. This shutting down happens several times but seems to stop once the set has been on a while.
One other thing, sometimes before it shuts down the picture collapses vertically (with black horizontal lines) to the lower half of the screen.

I'm hoping this is a known fault and easy to rectify (caps? bad contacts?) since the set works fine otherwise.
