Hello stevenkgray and ADIMEN,

I think what has happened is the your TVs are out of focus which could be due to a voltage problem. First I would warn you that this is a problem in the High voltage section of your TV and caution should be taken, in fact I would suggest that if you do not have a background in electronics that you get the TV checked and fix by a qualified TV repair technician. However if you do have a background the next few lines will make sense and you might be able to effect these repairs yourself.

Items needed for troubleshooting:

Schematic Diagram
Multimeter
High Voltage probe (40Kv)
Universal Video Analyzer (UVA)

1) Unplug the TV and take the back off of it

2) connect the UVA to the tuner F connector and setup the UVA to send a test pattern into the TV

3) Power the TV back up and turn to the channel set on the UVA

4) check the anode voltage on the CRT with the HV probe (connected to the Multimeter set to volts and grounded) and compare it to the voltage on the schematic.

5) If the voltage is not right adjust the focus and screen controls on the Integrated High Voltage Transformer (IHVT) to obtain the proper voltage.

6) Check the pattern to see if it is still fuzzy.

If the pattern is still fuzzy you may have to inspect/replace the IHVT and or its associative circuitry.

If you suspect that the IHVT is bad you can perform a ring test on the transformer using the UVA. (The instructions on how to do this are on the UVA quick steps pull out. or the instructions can be looked up on the web.

I hope this helps

Thank you,

I have no idea on what youre needing, unless you respond to the origional post I have no way of viewing previous posted info. Could you please state what it is that you need help locating?

You can get replacement buttons along with the pcb board that go with them at the following link.

You need to replace the coolant in the CRTs ( picture tubes )

Try unplugging the three convergence plug wire clips on the SSM board and then try to power up your set, let me know what happens.

Iam looking for this part 313501707611 it's that board brook

I have no clue as to what youre needing unless you respond to the origional post each time, as I have no way to distinguish one request from the other . CXan you please respond to this post with what your symptoms are and what you are needing to locate.Thanks

that is usually related to the LSB large signal board will eventually need replacement. Most repair shops will not troubleshoot the LSB at component level, they will opt for replacing the entire circuit board. If you need more info or help to locate a LSB board. please let me know.

no dont

Try installing a pair of new alkaline batteries into the remote. If the problem persists, I would suspect the remote is defective and return it to the store for a refund. I have used Philips remotes twice before, and had problems with both of them. I switched to a One-for-All universal remote, and it has been trouble-free, so far.

Hello Jarvis1,

This is an indication that the actual sound output is working, but the amplifiers to the speakers are not. How you could take care of this is to check in there are any loose connections to the speakers. Then check if you have sound coming from the leads of the output stereo amplifier (You will need the schematic and an audio tracer/tracker to find this location and test for sound). I would venture that there would be no sound from the amplifier. If not you will have to replace the amplifier chip. I would suggest getting a qualified TV technician to perform this task. If you do have sound at the output of the strereo amplifier chip, then it might be a case of the earphone jack switch being broken, let me explain when you plug in your earphone the speakers are disconnected by a switch in the earphone jack if this switch is broken it could disable the speakers and produce these results. There is also the possibility that you have the speaks disabled from the menu of your TV (check this too, actually check this first).

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

The opto IC chip is dead. Its an easy fix - check out www.magnavoxhelp.com.

Hi, the fluid in the tube has to be replaced, big & dirty job, set has to go to the shop to do this, be advised that this happens to all Philips rear projection tv`s eventually, problem is (besides being expensive to do) if the green fluid is getting cloudy the blue tube is not far behind. This can be confirmed by removing back bottom cover and looking directly into the lenses, you`ll see they are cloudy compared to the red one that almost never becomes cloudy, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, if you have more questions ask away, BMW Rider

thats the PTV910 -914 series philips. If you have some trouble shooting abilities you can get the service manual for your set at the following link and they will also provide free support to help you diagnose and repair the set. Your model is coverd in the manual for the 60P8431.under the phillips/magnavox section.
Heres the link.

Thats the DPTV 300 series phillips HDTV its definatly worth fixing. How are your troubleshooting skills. Sounds like either a problem in the LSB or SSB circuits boards. On our website we have replacment circuit boards for that model. Our prices are less than half what others are getting. Let me know if you would like me to post a link, we also have the service manual for your model.

hi,

Did you try a hard reset.Unplug qll the cords from back for 4hours and then put them back and see if it helps.It is a convergence problem may be.You will have to call a tech to get it repaired.

Goodluck,
Please don' forget to rate the solution

HI I AM HAVEING PROBLEMS WITH THE VOLUME THERE IS NONE AND NONE OF THE BUTTONS IN FRONT OF THE T.V ARE WORKING HELP PLEASE

You should check and see if the red tube is showing any light. The green and blue make yellow when the red tube stops working. If it is showing red but looks dull, you will need to change out the fluid inside the tubes, as it is corroded. I will post a fluid change procedure on the repair tip for this set. I cannot post it here as they will not let me. They say it is too long. Go figure. They do not let you post what you want I guess.. Good luck with your repair.
