20 Most Recent Philips Magnavox 42MF521D/37 Television - Page 7 Questions & Answers

It is wall mountable with a VESA Mount: 400 x 200 mm according to the installation guide (600 x 200 mm in the specs). The depth without stand is not given; other Magnovox TFT LCD televisions are about 5-6" in depth (4.9" for the 42MF439B/F7 )

A compatible wall mount is here: http://amazon.skakawack.com/Silver-Tilting-Wall-Mount-Bracket-for/M/B0019D4K6M.htm?traffic_src=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=froogle .

May I get the model # for the one for all remote so I can help you more. It will be urc-????

A weak power supply is the signal I'm getting. One of the first concerns would be to find one or two bad capacitors as the culprit. Always, on the first level of repair is to consider bad caps. Thanks for asking and show a few hands of support!

you do not need to measure your model no. will tell you...42",
if you what to measure it is measured diagonal

just try to check the power supply or check the fuse it might be busted.

Is the TV's name Damien??
I think it's the main power supply. This happens far too often on new sets.
Find a decent TV repair place near you

I cannot say enough about this model. There is a bad capacitor or two in this set. You should be looking for a buldged cap at maybe 25 or 35 volts at 2200Mfs. Replace this and the next one near would be a 35 volt at 1200 Mfs. I have a question for you, if the model number is 42 MF, the screen is large. And yet you say it has a 19 inch screen. I'm not sure if you have the large TV or the small TV. The answer I give you is for the large screen. Hope this helps you! Thanks for asking and show a few hands of support!

It's a good possibility the the t-con board ribbon cable shifted and is not making good contact.

How old is the tv? It could be the processor has failed.

You horizontal output chip is causing this problem please replace

The power supply board is dead,that the board,where the power a/c cord plug into it.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

Sounds like you need to repair the power supply, don't fret, it can be really easy. Here is a pair of youtube videos I made after following some advice on this website from other posters:

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. From what you have described it seems the issue is with the power board or the main board and we’ll need to check few things. When you open the unit up; take a look at the power board-the board where the power cords/plugs goes into. You might see some filter capacitors a little bulged up in the top-If this is the case-this is your defective part(you can try to replace them-but some soldering equipment is needed). If not, then probably the main board has gone bad. This is the other board-where all the inputs are going into. All this is only recommended if you have electrical expertise and know how to solder/re-solder components. Please note that the TV components consists high voltages even when in off position. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

This is the power supply board problems.That the board,where the power a/c cord plug into it.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish power supply board for the replacement.Or take the power supply board apart's,check for those capacitors parts are dying,alway bulges up it tops or puffing up on it tops.U have tools and kmow basic electronic and soldering.Replaced these dying capacitors,tv should come on right away.Use a cooling fan,turn it on high,put close to it.All the dust and particles.Will blown out.

I had something similar shortly after I bought mine, my 11 year old walked over to the set and used the on-board power button, telling me everytime we lost power he has turned it on there before the remote could do it. At least it is worth a try....
