I have a "Smartseries" 36" Magnavox TV (MS36SOC129 - pretty sure this is model #) . The other night (during rain storm), I had TV on and it went black. Powered it back up and screen stayed on for 1-2 seconds then shut down black. I've tried with cable signal and with DVD with same results. Each time screen goes black.
Any suggestions on trouble shooting?
Thanks,

TV tech question - Magnavox 36" goes black
check the power supply board for damage. it could have been hit by lightening through your cable line. i had it happen. you will need new guts (power supply module and signal board). Look for obvious black on the board and burnt out looking pieces. hope this helps
