I have a Magnavox 37MF23ID flat panel tv and the picture is black but I still have sound and can change channels. The tv is also making a somewhat high pitch noise while on. I have also had trouble with the tv recognizing the remote control so have to manually turn the tv off and on then manually adjust volume (I have a DVR so am able to change channels with the remote). Now that the picture is black and there is sound miraculously the remote function is working again. Any advice with either or both problems?

The high pitched sound you are hearing is that of a failed power supply...it seems that the high voltage inverter for the backlight may be the cause of the no pix problem..this is a very common fault in these sets...there are filter capacitors that may have become leaky in this power supply circuit causing the noise you are hearing...as for the remote problem, I would have a tech fix the power problem first as this may also be causing the remote circuits in the tv to fail

Sounds like a power supply issue and a faulty backlight. This should be fairly easy to fix by a tv repair shop.

Why does my TV on when the power button is off?

You need to spare yourself a lot of frustration and just replace the TV

Magnavox 37MF23ID, would not turn on. Power button only blinks (green light). We have switched power cords and nothing happens. No picture, no sound.

if the power light comes on but the screen stays black, then your TV might be on the wrong input Channel. for example: you switch inputs when you play games or watch dvds vs. watching regular tv. Try to change the input

Check to see in audio section of the menu if SAP (secondary audio program) is engaged---this will kill audio only on certain channels.

This feature is also used in many sat or cable boxes so you have to look there also.

Picture but no sound magnavox HD tv

check to see in audio menu for set and sat or cable box if SAP is engaged as this will (Spanish) cause no sound on certain channels.

The problem or setting exists in the set and most boxes providing signal to the set.
