Hello,
I have a magnavox 51" Rear Projection. (not sure the year...need to find the manual). Anyway, when we turn the t.v. on, the menu appears and every time I exit out of it, it pops back up. It will do this repeatedly for a while and then stop. However the problem has been getting worse, (i.e. it is taking longer for the menu screen to go away). In addition, it is starting to do this when we are watching t.v. (never has done that before, only when we turned on the tv).

take the broken piece to the hardware store and have a piece of plexiglass cut the same size. thats what we did and it worked really well.

same with mine. Two things that they have to install and they need the whole tv there to fix it and run it for a week. Cost 500.00!!!

Those symptoms describe a convergence failure. Replaced both Stk392-120 convergence amps made by Sanyo and R3159 , R3160 (6.8 ohm 1w) resistors and check the remaining low ohm resistors for change in value.
This is probably one that you'll want to take to the shop unless you have some fairly good skills in electronic repair. Job will probably be about $350 - $425 if you take the unit in yourself and shop around for a reputable shop.

The solution is so simple!
Press the POWER (RED) button and the TV/AV button simultaneously - hey presto! the child lock will switch off and you will have your TV back working properly.

Same exact problem in my 50" Phillips. When it first started, about once every 30 seconds to 2 minutes the menu would come up. The problem is now much worse and the menu comes up about 10 seconds after I dismiss it.
and it sucks
