Magnavox 20MS233S The tv turns on for about 5 seconds or at least makes that high pitch whinning sound, then stops. After that you can hit the power button again and the same thing happens. The screen shows no signs of life at all. No lines, flashes, nothing.I have no warranty. If you have any suggestions let me know. thanx, Zach

The tv has not been damaged or moved. It has been left on all night long many of times. It quit in the middle of the night. It only worked for eight months and now it's been sitting in a corner for five months. I suppose dust could be a problem, but it's not that bad. The reset test has not worked. If you have any other info it would be greatly apprieciated or I'll turn it into skeet.

turns on for almost a minute, then clicks off. will not respond to

any button pushes at all afterwards.

if it is unplugged for a minute, then plugged back in....the cycle repeats

what would that be indicative of ?

a bad capacitor? transistor?...diode? (zener maybe), or maybe a temperature compensating diode, i dont think its a resistor is it,...if

it was a resistor it would'nt turn on at all, right? turns on for almost a minute, then clicks off. will not respond to
