Magnovox 60 in rear projection TV

This is a common problem...you can get a shrinking/expanding repair kit from www.TvRepairKits.com

if the picture was fine before you need to have the convergance settings done this should be done every 3 years or so

Hi,
It is lamp that need to be replaced.
Lamp is not generating enough light to present bright picture on tv screen.
Lamp replacement is easy and written in user manual of tv.
Please buy Sony original lamp for good picture result in tv.
Let me know if you have additional question.
Thanks.

As per statement, "the magic focus works great, the colors are bright and aligned" it means the tubes are working ..you need feed a signal to see the picture...the tv video goes muted without signal

Hi, yes it`s time to replace the lamp, and remember to turn maxxed out brightness to normal once you replace the lamp :) good luck, video-tek

i had the same with my Magnovox....had the fluids changes and cleared it up....even cleaned up the focus of the picture...although this will cost somewhere around 300 bucks..

Hi

in this complaint you have defective power oscillation! thats why your TV On and Off


Thanks!

Its not the bulb.
When it comes on is it real bright? 
Did you loose the audio also?
Any other symptoms prior to having this problem?

That model is famous for having bacterial contamination in the CRT coolant causeing halos, and dim pictures with bad overall color issues. You can look into the lens of the CRTs when the set is laying and if the coolant looks cloudy or has any growth there you will notice it right away, and changing the coolant will restore color, clarity and brightness.

Check the regulator and convergences ICs....accordianman
