Magnavox 15mf400T/37 screen flashes on for a second then goes black

Check the game cubes video setup. You may have to enable the S-Video port on the setup menu. Also check the TV setup to select s-video for the input video source for that input.

Television comes on for a second and then screen turns black but tv still on

Does the OSD (on screen display) come up when you hit the menu button? If so try changing the input to the one you need.

Screen goes black but still sound

This is inverter or backlighting problem. Can you try switching it on and off quickly for a couple of times and tell me if these '2 seconds' get any longer'. If picture stays longer and longer before shutting down, one lamp needs replaced-if not, please replace inverter board

Sony KDL-32ML130 lcd tv

Not really that tough. Sounds as though the backlight is shutting down, either from a power supply failure, or a failure of the backlight circuit itself. You can verify this by holding a flashlight to the screen in the area where the menu usually appears to see if it displayed on the LCD panel with no backlight. If you can faintly see the menu displayed, your backlight has shut down and the most likely cause is the backlight inverter board, followed by the power supply and the backlights themselves which are part of the LCD panel. If you found this information answered your questions, please be sure to rate it. Thanks!
