20 Most Recent Philips Magnavox 50ML8105D 50" HDTV DLP TV - Page 9 Questions & Answers

Pretty familiar with this set, not sure what wireless you are talking about. Feel free to email me and we'll get this sorted out.

The bulbs aren't normally covered after the first year. Some extended warranty companies used to cover the bulbs after that, but now since the economy is bad... a lot of companies are trying to save money by not covering the lamps anymore. And the ones that did are handing the warranties over to other companies. You probably will just have to buy one yourself or you will just be chasing your tail.

ok you have two different model #'s here so i went and found both pdf manuals , i assume the 32mf605w is the one you want though . but here is both

32mf605w link here , just scroll down and type the numbers shown below click download and open with adobe reader , once downloaded scroll down to page 7 , as you can see the controls are on the top of the tv

50ml8105d link here , scroll down to page 5 , as you can see the controls are just below the screen in the middle , probably behind a flip out or up door .

need to replace the lamp to resolve this issue

I had a similar problem with my 42 in Philips LCD HDTV.

Here was the problem. My Power Supply Board had several bad capacitors. I opened my TV (warranty was expired of course) and found four bulged capacitors on the PSB. Many major electronics companies Philips/Magnavox, Sony, Panasonic, and others were sold capacitors that failed in 2-5 years instead of 10-20. The capacitors fail prematurely due to a lack of preservatives. Unfortunately, they were installed in all sorts of devices and cause a wide range of failure problems.

Here are some options for you.

1. Have it fixed by a professional $$$$$$$??????? (Is it under warranty?)

2. Open your TV and find PSB. (The board that the power cord plugs into) Check for faulty caps. If you find some (bulged or leaking) bad caps replace the entire board. The entire board costs around $250 right now because they are in high demand right now. They can be found at tv-part.com but supplies are limited. I would definitely shop around though.

3. Remove and then replace individual faulty caps. This takes some soldering skill.

Caps are inexpensive and if you can take care of it yourself it will save you hundreds.

This may be your problem. If you determine that it might be.

I have a Tip/How TO tutorial on this site that may also help. It gives step by step instructions for replacing caps on PSB #715t2432-2. If this is your board you are in luck. Here is the Link: Fixing the Philips Turns/shuts off on its own problem. I'm working on uploading pictures to help guide people though the process as well. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Hope this helps and if it does please rate it accordingly. Good luck.

I had a very similar situation with my Phillips 42 in. LCD TV.

Here was my Problem. The Power Supply Board. I opened it up( Warranty was Expired) and found several faulty capacitors on the PSB. Its pretty common. Major Electronic companies were sold faulty capacitors that fail in 2-5 years instead of 10-20 due to a lack of preservatives. It wouldn't surprise me if you have the same problem. TV will work fine for a few years and then just fail completely or slowly deteriorate.

Here are the solutions
1. Have it Repaired
2. Check for faulty caps and if you find some(budged or leaking) you know you have located a problem
Remove the board and replace the whole thing.
3. If you have some soldering skills you can replace the faulty caps.
Caps are very inexpensive, under a dollar in most cases. I replaced 4 for about $5.00

Hope this Helps.
Good Luck

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, I think you will be pleasantly surprised as usually one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, list of Dealers for spare part supplies and Driver downloads as required.

Just Google the manufacturer's name and follow the links. Make certain you are directed to the manufacturer's web site as some search engines direct you to other sites and they charge for the information that is normally free of charge.

I hope this helps.

kristy alcor,

Sounds like a bad lamp. This is not a difficult replacement but the lamps are not cheap. I have a tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r4168009-change_lamp_in_dlp_projection_tv which explains the replacement process, where to get quality parts at a good price and why you need to replace your lamp.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the great rating.

If ur tv a LCD tv it is a digital tv.U do not require a Digital converter box to get the new DTV free air signal broadcasting tv channels stations.But u do require a good digital antenna for it to recieve a long an strong signals to recieve a DTV free air broadcasting tv channels stations.

Hi,

Your power supply board is dead, u know basic electronics' and soldering? Most of the times, the power supply board just have dead leakages gases capacitors.These capacitors always bulges up on it top,or puff up on it top.Replaced these gases leakages capacitors will get your TV power stable,and work again.Or tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.


Take care in solving the problem ......

Try website like Remotes.com to buy an exact remote as ur original remote.

djackson4063,

You can find your lamp at http://www.encompass.com . Login as a guest. Input your model number in the model search slot. You will see a choice between two models. Choose yours or the first one. This will open up a list of parts. Scroll down to lamp and click on the part number. This will open a page with several choices and prices of lamps at the bottom of the page. The one for $110.00 (part number PHI378) is just the lamp and would require removing the old lamp from the housing and installing the new one correctly. If this is more than you think that you can handle order the one for $145.00 (part number SP.L6502G001-C) which is the entire assembly and does not need any additional work. I have a tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r4168009-change_lamp_in_dlp_projection_tv which will help with the repair.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the great rating.

The television shuts itself off and the light blinks in the front to protect itself when something is wrong with it. It will come back on a few times when unplugging and replugging but by doing that and not getting repairs done it has gone into a coma and will most likely not turn on again until it has been serviced. You can try leaving it unplugged for several days to see if you can get it to come back on.
