I've got a Magnavox 55" projection TV that recently stopped working.

Well, it turns out that I had a CRT tube leak onto one of the main
motherboards. The repair shop says that I should call Magnavox and see
if there is any assistance available in picking up part of the cost.
That seems like a long shot at best as the TV is out of warranty. It
was purchased in July of 2000 and the CRT was only warrantied for 2
years.

This whole problem just seems to be caused by poor design. Why place
something with a liquid in it directly over a major electrical
component? Oh wait, I see now, maybe it's so they can sell replacement
components.

I'm just curious, why don't you listen to the "good" advice that the
repair shop gave you.
It is not by trying do take the Magnavox name in the dirt that you will
be helped by them...
Your repair shop is right and Magnavox will indeed pick up part of the
costs.
Philips and Magnavox are doing this in the entire world, even when the
warranty is finished.
This is called the "coulance".Only for "special" cases, like this one
is.
And also, where do you want those tubes? Usually they are close to the
mainboard.
I wander why i'm telling you this, because you don't deserve to be
helped.

Anyway, if anybody has a used main circuit board for a Magnavox model
9P5511, let me know.

Thank you in advance would be to much?
