Need to degauss a magnavox tv

really doubtful

You have a Magnavox TV and you want to use a universal remote (?) to control it. What brand is the remote?

This link will assist you with getting a remote that will work with this television.

I have a magnavox 27MS343S and it is child locked, tv is off and do not have the original remote and it wont turn on although the powered up red lighht is on. Tv has been reset to sleep mode by universal remote. What can be done?

Hello
Ir is due to the magnatization of the picture tube. there are tw main possibilities for this fault. The first one is , if you place any high intensity magnetic materials, like stereo speaker boxes, which contain high power magnets inside on speakes or so on. The second one is failure of degaussing posistor inside the circuit board of your Tv.
Every colur TVs has this posistor, ususlly called degaussing posistor, which will work each time you switch on your TV by AC mains, for a very little , say to some microseconds or so, and it will heat up then and its resistance will go up to infinite, not allow any current to pass through. It is connected to a coil fitted around the picture tube inside, and will demagnatize the picture tube each time you switch on the Tv. If you switch off regularly with remote control, this posistor will not work, as there will not full power off occurs.
Do one thing first. Switch off your TV with it front panel power ON/OFF swtich, or unplug it from the mains wall socket for some time, say 30 minutes or so, and the switch it on. In rare occations this will retify the problem. If not, replace the degaussing posistor with an identical type. OK.

It could very well be it needs de-gaussed or possibly the PTC in the TV which de-magnetises the screen may be faulty. In the worst case the shadowmask part of the TV could be at fault which would mean replacing the CRT

Hello sletak, This problem is actually common. Your degaussing coil has malfunctioned, causing the power supply to become unstable which in trun is effecting the memory settings in the processor. You have threen problems in one so lets start by looking at the overall cause first 1) degaussing coil going bad (shorted then opened) Replace this and the thermistor that is attached to the degaussing circuitry. 2) power supply instability (power surge from the degaussing circuit) replace the damaged components in the power supply section. Troubleshoot this thoroughly. 3) after fixing the power supply and the degaussing components you will need to manually degauss the TV and then use the auto-degaussing function to do the rest. I hope this helps, Thank you, Shuttle83 http://www.electron-age-technologies-llc.com

If you are comfortable with tool sthere is a fuse inside the unit right where the plug goes in. I would check this first. Caution unplug it first VERY high voltage inside 30,000 volts!!!

u just need to degauss ur TV. Either ur earthing is not proper or there is a magentic source (such as speaker/stabilizer/ups etc) which is not properly shielded. Next time take care of it.

Push in and hold code search button until it stays lit, then pushed the TV button, it flashes quickly. Then hit the number zero once, then hit channel up button until tv finally changes channel. Hit the mute button once to get it to store the code.
