I have a Philips TV model 32MF505W/17 *

Actually, it's a 32MF605W/17

Are the sound line outputs also dead? *If not, you can run them to a
pair of amplified speakers.

I'm not knowlegable enough to know if the line outputs are dead or not. *Is
there an easy way to find this out?

And you think you can fix it?

Trying to fix something is better than slingin insults, which isn't all that
productive, yeah?- Hide quoted text -

I asked you if you had ever tried to connect external speakers to this
set directly by opening it up and tying your external speakers onto
the TV's speakers, or worse yet connecting the TV's speakers to an
external audio amplifier. . People do this all the time and blow up
the audio output IC if any of their external speaker lines are earth
grounded. They also cause other major damage and create a serious
shock hazzard for themselves and unsuspecting others. It is unusual
for an IC to blow up. It does happen but I think I would look for a
blown electrolytic capacitor as well. Also use an isolation
transformer and again no insult intended, have an assistant close by
who can call rescue just in case you've "fallen and can't get up".
