Try and figure out what it isn't.
Your lamp is ok if it turns on. Your (whatever they call them) that powers the lamps are ok, Your AV control board is ok if you get a TV signal when it is on, it looks like there is something wrong with the power supply. I've had mine open before and their was a loose wire. But that would be fixable if you hit it just right. Your problem is that it works one time, so it might not be that. Something isn't getting reset when it turns off so it gets the message to turn back on when you want it to. Will it stay on a long time when it does come on?
You can buy spare parts off eBay (or from the manufacture if it is a big name model) and swap them yourself.
I have a power strip that I turn off and on to get around a similar problem with my 1997 amplifier.
If you want an excuse to get a stereo system, the remote on my new amplifier has a wire that goes to the 'more expensive' power strip that will turn power on to other devices with one button.
