I want to remove the base from my Sylvania lcd 37" tv

From the bottom there should be a couple of screws to hold the base on. If they are not there then you need to remove the concealment panel at the base where the stand goes in. Once that is off you will see 3 or 4 screws holding it on.

The power suply unit may be dead......if the fuse blows instantly it means that the main input is short.
possible parts damaged :the diodes from the mains, the power tranzistor and the ic from the primary part and other components around them.
First unplug the tv, unload the mains capacitor (using a light bulb) check all the diodes from the rectifing bridge, check for any shortened semiconductors or blow resistors.


BE VERRY CAREFUL !!! THERE IS A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK ,IF U DON"T KONW ANY ELECTRONICS TAKE IT TO A SPECIALIST

I have the same issue. I've tried every version of Comcast box there is available. Nothing. Next I'm trying taping off the Sylvania IR and running the volume through an old receiver I have. That is, of course, that there isn't a solution posted here first. Will report back later.

there are 4-6 screws or bolts on back near middle bottom of tv usely marked with arrow or S

TRY THE PHILIPS PARTSTORE.COM.

the tv only weighs 55 lbs yes those are the holes 4 of them your bracket may have other screws if the bracket is thick

I have the same problem.

Since Sylvania is a product line under Magnavox and Philips, try some of those codes. Often one will work.

Most Protron and Ultra branded bases can be easily removed by just unscrewing them. Just a few simple screws and it should come right off. May need to flip it over and just take a look at where it's screwed into the TV itself. Hope this helps!

There are 4 philips head screws down near the base, 2 on each side. Remove those and the base will slide out.

Good Luck!
