Philips/Magnavox TV Schematics

Paul: The schematics may be of little help unless you first can do some basic troubleshooting and testing without them. There are NO step by step troubleshooting procedures and the schematics are only most useful to those who are experienced in television repair. A dead set due to a power surge is usually one of the simpler repair scenarios. Obvious first steps after your visual inspection would be dust off your DMM and to test the power supply components and look for properly regulated B+, in addition you should test the HOT to see if it is shorted and test for other faulty components in that area of the cicuitry.

I've done quite a bit of electronics repair (and a little bit of TV repair), and I wouldn't start poking around in something unless I had some idea of what sort of circuit I was looking at.

I'd much rather rely on a schematic than trying to trace the power supply around the traces of the main board.

You do not need a schematic or service manual to check and test the components that Sofie indicated in his reply post. As he said, "dust off your DMM ........." electrictym

It appears to be available here for $10:

Try answering the question originally posted. That is, "where can one obtain a schematic", not "do I need one".

I'd much rather have one in hand while searching for faults. I don't repair TV sets as a profession.

Thanks. It appears to be $10 for a one month membership. I'll grab schematics for all my miscellaneous gizmos.

THANKS! I may check that out myself. I've got a few things here I could sure use a schematic for to finish up.
