lets say you have a machine with a main circuit board controlling it. lets say you want it to be disabled when it gets close to a building. the building is broadcasting a signal around it...something like wifi or radio signal. lets say within 50 feet. the main board receives the signal and shuts down the machine immediately.
what can do this? could wifi do it?
Depends on what you want, your statement is very broad.
You could setup a laptop so that if it was in range of an rf signal that it could be disabled.
There are other ways of disabling pieces of electronic equipment however I dont think talking about that here is appropriate.
The specificity of the 50' boundary complicates the issue and we do not know the shape of the building. As such, an RF solution (something "broadcasting") is not pratical.
And I assume that the "machine" needing to stop (turn off, go to sleep or whatever) is mobile and can approach the building from any direction.
So, while not exactly what you've described, but an electronic dog fence system could be adapted for this purpose.
I am having trouble knowing where to even post my question. Can anyone help. I'm having trouble with My 47 " Phillips maganavox television. I replaced my capacitors on the power supply but this did not help. I lost my picture but still here clicking sound when turned on. Any help would be appreciated.

I've looked into dog fence systems before I'd like to build something like this also.
Commercial ones seem to work at a low freq, around 50khz.
I suspect the rf section uses magnetic field radiation.
