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.
