Panasonic TV red/green LED fine at switch-on
Any attempt to change volume/channel/switch off/on makes the LED start
flickering which I'm unable to stop.
However if I put my hand anywhere near the 'bulb', the flickering stops,
until I take my hand away.
Otherwise the TV works fine.
Piece of black tape ? :)

Long shot, but it's not a Neon type lamp? When they get old they can
become light-sensitive. (Or more light sensitive.)

A remote control for something else lost down a sofa or somewhere with a
cushion pushing a button?
Then your hand reflects enough of the beam to the remote sensor of the
TV which is the wrong coding to actively do anything?

Batteries failing in the remote control and pressing one button causes
the remote to send multiple commands, or maybe just rubbish.

Possibly easily diagnosed by just covering the IR transmitter on the
remote when the flashing occurs.

You all make sense except Davey (I hope).
Left it flickering on standby for a couple of hours and it seems to have
'healed itself'.
Thanks anyway.

If I have understood your post correctly, moisture or other contamination
in the remote - under the rubber keypad.

Usually, you can remove the batteries, sometimes there is a screw or two,
then the case can be unclipped.

The PCB will either come free, be clipped in, or held with screws if
needed, to access the membrane.

Carefully clean the key grid on the PCB with a lint free cloth soaked in
alcohol. Ditto the rubber keys - the pads which make the contacts.

Check everything is clean and dry then reassemble.

The above helps if a remote key sticks or doesn’t work.
