How to take out 2 bad capacitors in my magnavox modle 50f231d/37

Check all the capacitors one might be bad find out if it is bad it should bulge on top of the capacitors

This is a plasma TV, lose color usually means buy new one.

Your power supply is weak. If you think you can repair this I will tell you how. If you cannot do this,find someone who works electronics and share this repair. Two capacitors are bad. When pulling the back cover off, you may see one or two capacitors bulged. Even if they look good....replace these capacitors. The locations are numbered and, the capacitor having a value and temperature of 105 degrees.. Location of the first capacitor is 2074, value 25volts @ 2200 mf @ 105 degrees and will most certainly be bulged. The next capacitor may look fine....replace it. That capacitor location is 2066, value is 35 volts @ 1200mf @ 105 degrees. When you replace these, please be sure to get the polarity (positive leg and negative leg) of these capacitors seated correctly...this is a must. This will correct your TV. You will save lots of money, because you asked. Thanks for listening ..good luck...we will be here for your next repair.

Hello,

The typical cause of power up problems in a failure of the power supply filter capacitors. The board can be repaired by replacing the bad components. Below is a picture of the power supply board with the bad capacitors circled and below that is a link to a it that is available with the correct parts to rebuild that board.

I hope this helps you out,

You have a bad Capacitor or two!

Look at the power supply first; look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc. Look to see if you have any DC voltage at the output connectors.

Power supply issues. I believe bad Caps or Capacitors, Can be fixed.
A good tech can either replace the bad capacitors or replace the problematic power supply.

Look at the power supply first since it is easier to get to, look for burnt parts, bad capacitors, etc.

Bad capacitors on the power supply board. Philips/Magnavox has this problem, big time.

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.
