Question about Philips Magnavox MS2530C 25" TV

TV turned upside down

I recently moved my 32" Magnavox down two flights of stairs alone. In the process I turned it upside down and even slid it a bit on it's top. Now when I turn it on, it comes on for a second or two with a bad picture (screwy colors) and then the screen goes blank. If you change channels this repeats. Is this a degaussing problem? Will the automatic degausser(sp?)take care of it? Would only an idiot turn a tv on it's head?

Well its not a good Idea to carry a TV set turned upside down because of the heavy parts mounted on the board could cause stress and crack the printed circuit board. This what most likly happened. The PC board is cracked. If you have no soldering skills and do not know how to work on printed circuits or solid state devices, you should seek the help of a pro to assist you in this repair. Good Luck.

Moved dryer, hooked up wrong, not working now after re-hooked up

have you check outlet with a voltmeter or even checked breaker? Is your new rect' a 3 or 4 prong outlet? If you hooked up red's to black and black to reds it still should have worked. The 220 volt heating element is between the red's and blacks the 110 circuits would be between a red or black to white wire.

I need to move my Proform XP 620 treadmill down a flight of stairs. What is the best way to do this

Honestly, the best way to do this is to call an expert because any wrong adjustments to a treadmill can cause serious damage but if you want to attempt yourself you must try to move it whole with 2 people stronger holding the front of the tread as this is going to be the heaviest. Take the front down first down the stairs.

Hello, I have a stacked Whirlpool washer/dryer. (Model # LTE6234DQ1) I wish to move it down a flight of stairs and want to know if this model can be easily 'unstacked' for the move. Thanks for your...

Hi there.

Yes it can.
Access bolts to the feet should be visible from the rear of the unit. Failing that, the top screws of the bottom appliance should undo, and the top appliance (with lid of lower one) should slide back 1" allowing it to be taken off.

Be careful not to damage this lid section in the move, and further removal can restore it back to two appliances again.

If this helps, Please take a moment to rate as Fixya! Thanks.

Moving the TV

you should be fine as long as you don't drop it of course. you and turn and twist it any which way but id say measure the height of the tv because at some point you will have the top and bottom of the tv touching 2 different walls if im not mistaken

If it looks like the picture is yellowish all through it, then you will have to have the coolant replaced in all three CRT's. It is not unusual for algae to grow in the resivors.
