That's my problem too...........nada Got schematics for the thing? (Better yet... got some I can *look* at?) I didn't turn up anything with a search. The numbers aren't even listed on the Philips site. This thing is a bastard item with Philips/Magnavox on the faceplate. Found this: Problem:posted by stephenie on Dec 18, 2006Report abuse my tv keep turning off by itself Best Solutionposted on Dec 18, 2006 By henlopen Rank: Master Rating: 73.02%, 126 votes A jammed or defective VCR can cause this symptom if the TV is turning itself off within about 15 seconds of turn on. Otherwise, it could be anything from a bad capacitor in the power supply to a shorted component in the High Voltage/deflection circuits. In other words, time to replace it. This is where it's heading.......... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Philips%2FMagnavox+support I'll see if I can find any more numbers to search on but from what I see there on Google their support is manned by turnips ? I'll post back if I find something.
