Magnavox 37inch tv needs power supply. I Live in Brooklyn, n.y and Monroe, N.J.

Would like to purchase the part and install it myself. Just need to know of where to purchase the item. Lot's of reviews showed this model to be faulty and many of the sets were repaired by the purchaser.

SOURCE: Faulty power supply unit?

You can contact the manufacture to purchase the power supply module.

However, there are other boards in the set that can easily cause the power supply failure because something went defective. It is also possible that the power supply is not defective, but it is in protect mode because of a failure on another board, or in some other device in the set.

The tech would follow procedure from the service manual using the proper instrumentation and diagnostics to determine the defective board(s). Then he would replace the necessary modules and or parts to get the set working again.

In the end if you try fixing this yourself, you can end up spending a few hundred dollars on a power supply and only find that it blows again or goes in to protect mode because the original fault was not determined and corrected.

SOURCE: I NEED A POWER SUPPLY AND CORD FOR A MAGNAVOX 15'

Either you can get this universal type available inthe market in any electronic spares store or it is easy too make one by yourself if you are familiar with electroncis.
All you need is a mains transformer with secondary voltage at 12 volt and 4 amps capacity, use a bridge rectifier , good storage capacitor of about 4700mfd/25 volts and if possible use a 12 V regulator so that the power is smooth, regulated and protected..

Plasma and LCD TV sets are prone to having capacitors in the power supply section fail. This is the most likely cause for the probem you describe. When capacitors fail your will commonly see one or more of the following symptoms.

  • No video, Power light is on or blinking.
  • TV is making a clicking noise.
  • TV takes a while to come on
  • Screen is very dim or flickers.

Again, You can get a power supply repair kit with the parts, detailed instructions, and support from sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com . Or just click here to see more details on their kit.

Here are pictures of capacitors...Notice that the ones below look bloated. They have failed and will need to be repalced.
