Hi folks...
My sister, who lives on the other side of the country from where I do, has a fairly new Magnavox LCD TV that just went kaput. If I lived closer, I'd have already taken the thing apart by now and troubleshot what sounds like a power supply problem. In as much as I can't help her where I'm at, I told here I'd post the information here on the chance that someone had run into this problem before. Perhaps someone could identify this as a known problem with this make and model. Is the set even worth fixing?
These are the set specifics:
And the symptoms as she describes them:
picture or sound, just black.
are there any numbers to indicate channels or source, etc.
options, nothing appears on the tv except that one of the choices appears to make the black screen a barely perceptible shade lighter than black.
Magnavox, by the way, is no help at all. The best they could offer her was sympathy that the set of "out of warranty" and the lame explanation that "all the new technology [fails] like this." I suspect this is the last Magnavox she'll ever buy.
Anyhow...my web-bot-resistant email address is: hpf{atsign}gainbroadband{period}com
Thanks in advance, and 73
