    I am missing something. You can afford to buy a 52" TV but can afford to fix it???

    I just can't believe how rude some people can be. If the lady says she can't afford to pay the $100 then believe her. You don't know her situation. Next time be a nicer person.

    I am having a problem with my Magnavox TV, model #60p8241 manufactured 8-17-01 chassis model #pvt910. The problem we are having is I cannot get the picture to clear up. I have tried to clear up the picture using the adjustments on the tv and none seem to make it any better. I have a Zenith tv that I have had for 18 years has a better picture. What is the life of one of these Rear projection style tv's? I have tried other tv's on the location I have it set in the house and they work great. Just got Direct TV, no help. any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

    I have a Magnavox HDTV Model# 51MP6200D/37.... and the Serial# YA1A0620050296>>>> It will not come on.. I mash the power button and all it will do is the power button will continueously flash. The TV itself will not come on. Can you tell me what's wrong with it?

    Cray, if it's over 5 years old it might have capacitor disease. The manufacturers used cheap parts, and the electrolytic capacitors on the power supply board tend to fail and the set will not come on. I've fixed a couple of them with a soldering iron and $10 worth of capacitors. If you or anyone you know can solder, it's not a difficult job and requires no fancy equipment. I usually just replace all of them on the board rather than trying to find one or two that are bad. The rest will go soon anyway ad it's cheap insurance. The values are printed on the sides and you can order replacements from mouser.com, digikey.com or if you have a local electronic parts outlet they should have them.
