Philips Magnavox 42MF521D/37 Television Logo
Anonymous Posted on Sep 20, 2009

I have the same model 37MF321D/37 and the Blinking Light

I had a new power supply and a couple of capacitors put in for $160.00 and the green light still blinks but it will come on. I have ordered the two main capacitors that Magavox knows about that they should have been a higher voltage. I ordered two 3300 uf 25 v, to replace the 3300 10v, I also ordered a new power switch in which I read this also goes bad. Magnavox built this model with a low wattage capacitor when they should have used high wattage and they will not do anything about it because I have already talked to them several times, but they know of the problem. I ordered these parts for $4.99 and a solder kit from Harbour Freight for $14.00 and I will fix it myself. The bad capacitors are at the bottom of the motherboard and are together and will have bubbled tops. Anybody needing parts for Magnavox or Phillips can order them direct from: http://www.encompassparts.com/. Hope this helps someone else.

I fixed it by replacing the two capacitors with 3300uf 25v instead of Magnavox's 3300uf 10v and a power swith that I ordered from http://www.encompassparts.com/. Also I did have a power supply put in from a repair place that cost $160.00. It is working perfect now and no blinking light.

Not powering up right away

This is a big problem with these tv's. Magnavox built them with undersized capacitors, and they blow. You have to open the back, remove the power supply and replace the capacitors numbered 2074 and 2081. This sounds like a real tech job, but read my other solutions, and you will see it is not so hard. Good luck.

My magnavox 37mf321d 37 LCD tv

This is a bad power supply and an easy fix. Their are several electrolytic capacitors on the power supply. If one is bad it will have a bulge on the top. Mine had a bad 2200uF and a bad 1200uF capacitor. About $7 worth of parts at Radio Shack. Radio Shack had the 2200uF but it was axial leads instead of radial. (leads come out of each end instead of one end) but It will still fit. They only had a 1000uf capacitor so I combined that with a 220uF capacitor and wired them in parallel. Make sure you put them in with the correct polarity.
