    magnavox 42mf438b/27 problem

    I just noticed some black spots forming on the top of the tv and when i opened my tv i saw that metal around the ac in is rusty.

    I have had the tv for like 10 years and i am wondering if it's a serious issue were the tv could get in flames because of it and also 2 capacitors are swollen.

    Wow you must have a decent amount of moisture in your air for this to occur. The metal that is rusted is just part of the inner frame and most likely not a big deal. That is as long as the connection is not being rusted on the front or back and that the internal boards are not rusting. I would at the very least do my best to clean the rust up and try to find out where all of the added moisture is coming from and remedy that.

        Would 2 swollen capacitors make the screen have some smudges on the tv?

        They are very small and it covers a little more then half the screen (top of the screen) but what worries me is that the TV gets really hot where the smudges are and touch behind the tv (the plastic, not the screen which i am guessing also gets hot).

          Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs
          by theone111
          I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.

          In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.
          1. Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
            Frequency: Happened about once a week.
            Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again.
          2. Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
            Frequency: Happened about once a week.
            Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve.
          3. Problem: TV shuts down

          Thinkpad X1 Carbon "LMQ-1MB 12298-2 48.4LY26.021" VCC3M problem
          by Zeonalbasta
          i have a problem with thinkpad X1 carbon gen 2 "LMQ-1MB 12298-2 48.4LY26.021"
          The laptop was turned off because the MOSFET was not transmitting voltage. After checking it turned out that the gate pin on the MOSFET was the problem, because it was producing an inappropriate voltage. and it was discovered that the problem was with the Think engine, so I decided to reprint each pin, and finally the mosfet could work properly. However, there is another problem, even though the voltage has been supplied to the laptop, it still won't turn on, there isn't even an LED indicator. After double...

          Lenovo T580 - LCD Panel problem - error 0288
          by perzyk23
          Good morning,
          I have a problem with Lenovo T580, which after error code 0288 suggests a problem with the display. I checked the display and it works on another laptop. I replaced the display cable with a new one. I programmed another BIOS (downloaded from this forum) and I still have the problem of a dead display - there is an image via HDMI, and the system does not detect the built-in LCD at all. The problem appears to be hardware. What can I check to confirm or disprove this? I found many threads on the Internet related to this problem 0288, but without specific solutions. Please advise....

          Asus Zephyrus M16 / GU603ZW problem
          by lazaro.089
          Full name/ Model: Asus Zephyrus M16 / GU603ZW-M16.I93070T
          CPU: Core i9-12900H
          Onboard 8GB DDR5 4xMT60B1G16HC-48B:A

          Problem: This laptop was brought to the shop with the board already meddled with. Last technician (maybe without the right tools) removed an electrolytic capacitor (PCE9203) sensing resistor (PRS9801) and probably flashed both BIOS (U2802) and VBIOS(U7802).
          The laptop's behavior is: When connected, it tries to power up. CPU powers on, and (allegedly) the power sequence finishes and goes to S0 (PLT_RST = 3.3V). It consumes 600mA, ramps up to 1.100 A and...
