No power at all on my magnavox mwr10D6

May 03, 2009

-   Watched a DVD on Wednesday night, and afterwards, went ahead and loaded a second DVD. Decided it was too late, so went on to bed.

On Thursday, we found the power had been out at the house (surge protectors were tripped all over the house and had to be reset). Did not think much about this since power has gone out before.

Tried to watch the second movie on Friday evening, but found unit would not turn on by either remote control or front panel button. I know it was not the power outlet since the TV was also plugged in and was working.

Called Maganox only to be told unit was out of warranty but just a few months. Sad since the unit has hardly been used. I asked how to get a DVD out since the unit would not power up. Person told me "anyway you can." There is not way to open and pull out the tray.

Took the cover off the unit in order to remove my new, yet to be watched DVD. Found a fuse on the main board and checked it. Fuse was ok. Used voltmeter to verify power was available across the fuse (power situation was good).

This unit must have some fragile circuitry. I am very disappointed it failed so easily. Due to the product and the company's lack of support, I will no longer buy Magnavox products. I recommend people steer clear of Magnavox products.-   gwiljr

-   I also had the same problem. It worked great until we had a power outage. I wish this model would have turned off and not go into a standbye mode. Looks like im going to have to buy him newer one this x-mas

-   Same problem with my unit, after a power outage. I suspected there might be a fuse inside, so I popped the lid on it, and there it was, a 1 amp 250 volt glass type. I tested the fuse (which looked okay, visually) with my multimeter to see if it was good or bad, but it is good. So, whatever is wrong with the unit is not a simple fix. Considering how much (or really, how little) the unit cost, it isn't worth the time it would take fixing whatever is wrong. BTW, I also metered the voltage across the fuse while plugged in, and it is getting power.

Time to dump it and buy something decent, like a Sony.-   nickstorm
