I have a Magnavox 13MT143S. There is another number on the back, E244239. The screen simply goes off without warning, as if it had been turned off, and then in a second or two it comes back, most of the time. Sometimes it just stays off. Any insights?
Magnavox TV turns itself off, then back on

Yeah, call an exorcist.
But seriously, folks... is this simply a TV that is about to kick the bucket, or is this something that can be repaired?
Anything can be repaired. It is the question of having the time, the service information, the level of servicing skills, and the budget.
Sometimes these types of faults are caused by cold solder connections on the circuit board, or a part that is simply intermittent.
Considering the age of the set, I would seriously think about retiring it.

I bought the TV two years ago. Admittedly, it was inexpensive -- about $80, as I recall. But is two years the life expectancy of a cheap TV?
