To get assistance on Philips/Magnavox TV: Post the model and chassis number on the subject line. In the message box, post the symptom. That is, what is the set doing or not doing.

Your descriptions are "my eyes and ears" of the possible problem. Bad description, bad results!

I won't read the posts every day, but what do you want for nothing?

    Pee Wee

    I appreciate your time and any advise you may have.

    I have Model TS2754 C101. We were watching the idiot box when the picture went out and the sound stayed on. The red led power light was blinking steadily, every .5 seconds. We turned off the set and tried turning it back on but the screen stayed off and the sound on. We let is sit for about 10 minutes and tried again with success. The set ran for another 3 days with no problems. Recently we tried to turn it on and we now get no picture and no sound. The led power light comes on for 1/2 a second with one click sound and then shuts off. I pulled the cover and examined the board, fuse, and anything that looked fried with no avail. Looked for maybe a bad relay but it seems that a logic signal/or lack of is tripping a relay right away. Any ideas???

    thanks

    I've had this TV since 1998. Today I turned it on, and the green power light is flashing. The screen is black with two horizontal lines in the center. The sound is working fine. I think something smells burned inside (I unplugged it). Any suggestions?

    I have a Philips 25ts56 c121 tv. it shuts down at turn on. looking inside there is a burned part Ref# 5342 on CRT PCB.
    Any ifromation would help. Is this a resistor? could my Vert IC TDA6107Q also be bad?

    Can anyone give me some help with a Magnavox 60'? I turn it on and all I hear is a click. The 'green' power indicator stays on but nothing happens. I turn it off and on several times. Eventually the sound begins and a picture very small in size appears. Color is off and picture looks like a 'negative' image. After the T.V. warms up, the picture becomes larger and clearer. Getting much worse. Any help out there would be very much appreciated.

    From the looks of things, I think Pee Wee had to get back to his other real job, and who can blame him. He owns this board. He was working a second job on this site!! Maybe we just need to take poor troubled tubes to a repairman and throw some words around like "23uCB resistor on the CRT board" and bluff him that we KNOW it's not a $100.00 repair job, but rather a simple, small piece of metal with a rubber tip that cost $3.00 to replace. Who knows we might just get lucky and end up only paying $35.00- $40.00. I have learned alot on this board tonight and one of them is NOT to get another Philips/Magnavox. May it rest in Pieces!

    Pee Wee, I bought this TV new in 2000. One month ago when I started to turn my TV on it would start up real small and fuzzy and as the TV warmed up the picture would bounce back and forth from big to small and get more clear and full size. As time went on it would do this but would take longer to achieve a full picture. Now it will not produce a picture or sound when turned on. All that comes on is the green power button. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Model Number 9P6040 C101
    Manufactured September 1999
    Phillips Magnavox 65" TV

    Hi Peewee I was looking to see if you could anwser a question about my TV. The color on the TV is cloudy there is also a thin boarder along the boarder of the TV not really noticable unless you switch channels and in that pause of switching channels you see a grimy green boarder running along the boarder. It is sometimes harder to read smaller text. There is cloudy/foggyness over a lot text. Like for example when you see the word TOP GUN on the screen and everything behind it is black there is a cloudiness around the boarder of the letters that is visable. I messed with some of the color settings to try to make it better but it doesnt seem to help much. Is this a fixable problem? can I fix it? or do I need someone to fix it for me? and how much will it run? thanks for all your help id really apprciate any help you can give me. please email me at Erfanharoon@yahoo.com if you have any suggestions or know what the problem might be. Im in college and preety handy with my hands so any suggestiosn would be great... thanks again

    My TV turned off by itself and will not turn back on. Not with the remote, or the power button on the TV. There is no green light, no picture, or sound. There was an odd odor, but not too strong, and there was a very faint ticking sound if I put my ear very close to the back of the set. I read all of these posts and it sounds like it might be a burned capacitor. I took the back off and discharged the tube so I could look around. I didn't see anything that looked burnt. Please let me know of any suggestions. Thank you!!

  • icculusjrx

    I posted the previous message. I looked one last time and I found the culprit. A burnt capacitor at 2633 (821 @2KV). I will order it and replace. Thanks for helping everyone on this board!!

    I wanted to respond to what lextalionis said in regards to his 1994 Magnavox TV. We are experiencing the EXACT same problems. We can even watch DVD or videos without any trouble. However, watching cable channels causes the black screen to appear within two-ten seconds. Did you ever find a solution to this? If so, PLEASE let me know!! Thank you!
    It's nice to know you're not alone!!

    My set was manufactured in Aug, '94/
    I know that I blew my little 5" X 1" PC board that has all the function buttons, ie, volume, on/off, channell up/down, menu.
    because I accidentally touched a metal (copper) wire to it while the TV was plugged in, but not on- there was a spark/short, and all is inoperable now regarding that board.

    All I have is Phillips consumer Div in Knoxville, TN so how do I order a new board for this model - I can install it ok, even though I sound like a clumsy hacker.

    It has been blinking back and forth from color to b&w for about a month. The last couple of days it has only been b&w. Do you have any ideas what is going on? I hope its only a chip that went bad.

    Thank you

    Hello Pee Wee,

    I have this Philips Magnavox tv that works ok except the menu, volume, and channel does not display. They don't display when channging the volume, change channel, or going into menu. One other problem thats not that big of a deal is when you use the picture in picture function it does not stay still it moves down threw the picture. It then comes from the top and moves down and disapers at the bottom and repeats.

    Please Help!!!

    Pee Wee,

    A few months ago my Magnavox started acting up. The picture is about half of the vertical height, and the colors are off - like they are mixed. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

  • jmhiggins_tampabay_rr_com

    Pee Wee,

    My brother-in-law gave me his 65inch Philips Magnavox TV and when we have the TV on there seems to be a faint pink blur going from the top/middle down to the center of the screen and stops there. We moved it here from his house 15min away. They said it might've been because of moving it and bumping it around a little. Maybe the bulbs or whatever inside the TV moved around. I don't know what model it is, anyway I can check it in the settings? Thanks!

    I have a Philips Magnavox TV - Model #TP3285 C121

    The tv screen has gone completely black with no picture or sound.

    The led beside the power on button is not working as well.

    When the power is connected with the TV I hear a clicking sound from the tv. There is no response / clicking sound for the remote or for the power button of the TV.

    Please suggest the areas/parts that need to be checked.

    Thanks for your help.

    This is and older model. What occurred was over xmas the set was unplugged. When the TV was plugged back in you all the channels were activated and it cannot be reprogrammed to only show active TV stations. We have attempted an auto scan = it finds them but still shows all channel when you change channels. I cannot locate a manual to attempt to fix this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Sorry, I could find no chassis # on my TV. When my 2 yr old Phillips TV is turned on, I get nothing but the menu screen. When I push the menu button, it will flash very briefly to the channel, but then it goes immediately back to the menu. I thought maybe the button on the remote is stuck, but when the menu button is pushed and held, the green light on the front of the TV flashes rapidly and stops flashing when the button is released. I have tried unplugging the TV, but when I plug it back in, it's still on the menu screen. Any ideas?

    In 2008 we purchased a Phillips Flat Screen LCD T. V. Mod#19PFL5422D/27. It was fine until August of 2010 when it began acting up. When attempting to turn it on it would stay on for a minute or two then we would loose sound but the picture would remain. When turned off the power light remained on for 3 to 4 minutes before it would shut off. When attempting to turn on again a loud shrillo squeel would come from the set. Again attempting to turn off the power light remained on . It usually takes 4 or 5 attempts until it will stay on. Tried un plugging and waiting but this too did not work. Called customer service, (India) and after getting advice of things I already tried he gave me a number he said was a few miles from me but was actually hundreds of miles away in New England. Number was not in service. Contacted the Georgia Atty. Generals office in Atlanta where Phillips based out of, also the Penna. Atty. Generals office where I live and the Better Business Bureau along with a local consumer reporter from T.V. I want there heads!!

    Bought a PL9127C121 huge heavy tv. Very happy with it. No remote for it, and no "hidden panels" anywhere on tv to tune channels. When I bring up Menu, all I get is CC - turn off/on, sleeptimer - turn off/on, and exit.
    how do I add channels without a remote? My universal remote will pull up the menu also, but same options listed - am I just dumb? thanks so much!

I thought it was the surge protector so I directly plugged it in the wall and what happened was a straight white line across the screen then nothing. no sound no pic. the red light in front of the tv kept flashing, not having the manual im sure its saying something but for me its not working.

    the model number is 30pw35oh37a

    Hi, Model No: 32ME303V My TV is relatively new. It was gifted to me by my friend who had used it only to show pictures on a slideshow and that too rarely.

    When I try to connect my laptop to the screen through VGA port, video works perfectly fine but audio does not come even when I connect the audio leads at the back. I have checked the volume, TV speakers are on but no audio. Kindly suggest what can I do as I dont have the bill for the TV.

    I have about 55" Phillips smart tv. Model 55PFL3907/F7 SN: VM1A1213110389.

    I had a power outage and the tv and direct tv modem were working when the power went out. Not so much when it came back on. The TV has a pink/violet picture stuck on it which has yellow writing. Doesn't seem to be a Phillips logo just some random picture. Plus the Direct tv modem isn't working properly either. The Direct tv company is coming to check it out but I'm looking for some input in case it turns out that the problem is with the tv.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    I have a Magnavox console tv that is 33 years old. It has worked fine all these years until recently. Now when I turn it on the picture rolls. I tried adjusting it without success. After about 30 minutes the picture stops rolling. My question is-should we try to get it fixed or is this just a sign that the tube is getting bad and it is time to get a different tv. We use this tv in our basement.

    When I press the power button, the red standby light will flash ten times fast and will make some light glitch or crack sound out of the speakers.

    The picture Magnavox came up on the screen a couple of times but it always leaves super fast and fades to black/no screen.
