Question about Philips Magnavox 20MT133S 20" TV

Is it worth taking to a repair shop?

My son-in-law bought it for me only a month ago. I had it sitting on the dresser and last night when I walked past it, it fell off. It doesn't come on at all. Will the cost of repairs exceed the cost of the set ($90.00)?

The circuit board is probably broken. OR maybe also the picture tube. If service shops in your area give free estimates, it might be ok to have someone checkit for you. Newer tv's however can be replaced cheaper than repaired unless they cost several hundred dollars. The smaller size of the circuit boards make it very difficult to repair them. Stargazer

Usually this is the defrost timer that is sticking. If you post the model number I can see about parts.

My son plays his play station 3 slim, 2 days ago it just froze up we blew it out an cleaned his game, an it wont load anything its only 4 months old what can we do?

Hi michelle,

If your PS3 is freezing up then you need to stop the heat build up internally and to do this you will need to get it repaired.

Now you can send it in and they will fix it for you that is the standard method however bear in mind that there will be a repair charge of $150 for the fix which is quite steep!

The other way that you can fix it is by using a good PS3 Repair guide.

Just a quick word of advice though, make sure you check out these reviews of the top guides so you can be sure what they offer.

I bought a nintendo ds lite a month ago and the last week or so, the touch screen has become really shaky. Can I get it repaired or is it something that can't be fixed?

Hi did you buy it new or second hand?

If you bought it new I would bring it back to the shop you purchased it in as it would be under guarantee and they should replace it or repair it for you at no cost to yourself.

If its second hand some of the phone repair shops also do computer and console repairs its worth checking out.

The PIN no longer works and I need to reset it. Was purchased off Craigs list a few months ago and I do not know the persons name I purchased it from to go to the secure location to make it work again

As I said, my son-in-law bought the Garmin c550 off Craigs list. I do not want to pay for an answer so I will give it back to my son-in-law and tell him I could not figure out why the PIN doesn't work any longer. Thanks for asking, Brandy

LG KF510 will not turn on

Take it to the repair shop. My son's KF510 did the same. I await the results of the autopsy!
It started to play up almost straight away when he bought it a month ago. Last night it failed to go past KF510 logo then goes to a low level purple screen. Removing the battery seemed to fix it prior but not now!
