Hi,

I have a Magnavox DVD/VCR Combo that turns off as soon as the power gets on.

I did open the cover. There are two flat cables that are connected to the CRT from the circuit board:

First cable is connected between the main circuit board and a small circuit board that has round cables to the CRT.

Second cable starts from the the small circuit board, plugs into the main board and then goes to the back of the CRT.

When I unplug both of them and turn the TV on, power stays on.

When I plug in the first cable and turn the TV on, power stays on.

When I plug both of them and turn the TV on, power goes off as soon as I hear the sound of CRT turning on.

The TV worked once when I pressed the first cable at the connecting point to the main board. But after that, TV does not stay on.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
