I have acquired a Magnavox 42mf531d 37 that has no picture. Upon turning the tv on, after a brief moment, the screen flashes dark gray/black and then nothing. The LED on the switch illuminates steady green. The audio, (I am told by previous owner,) works normally.
After researching this condition the capacitors became the prime suspects. Upon visual inspection, there appeared to be no obvious defect with any capacitors on the power board or any other board for that matter. Based on a search of this model tv and similar models on this site, I proceeded to test the components on the boards according to those previous posts.
To the best of my knowledge, the tv was manufactured in early 2007 with components from late 2006.
This is not my area of expertise, I know just enough to be dangerous.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
