Magnavox, 1996 year,model TP2783C101, ch# 27V505, dead. PLug it in, hear the smps oscillator SLOWLY go up in frequency.Not the usual quick chirp heard. No power otherwise. Fix: In smps, replace C420 (220MFD@ 16V).Open. Tech then had bright screen with retrace, and shut down. Simple: he accidentally unplugged a plug to the CRT board, probably supplying the 200Volts DC to CRT. Reinserted plug, all is well. The 220MFD /C420 cap was the fix. Submitted by a local shop.
