OK Guys. This is the only TV in the house and we just moved so there is no cash for a new TV.

Magnavox 42MF438B/27

After watching the TV for 5 or 10 minutes, we lose picture. The sound and power light on the front stays on. I unplug it, plug it back in and sometimes it will work ok for an hour, sometimes, we lose picture after another 5 minutes.

I popped the back cover to look for a bulged cap but found nothing. I have a multi-meter but have no idea what I'm doing. I got some pics.

Where do I go from here?

New Guy here. I've got a problem with my 42" magnavox. I'm a mechanical engineer so when it comes to electronics, I need a little help.

thanks
