32" Philips Magnavox TV 32H800 Chassis - Volume & Power Problems
Hi,
I was given a 32" Philips Magnavox TV back in November. Model: 32PT71 Chassis: 32H800. My cousin had stopped using it because he said the sound had gone out on it and it would randomly turn itself on. When I brought it back home I tried it and it seemed fine to me... worked perfectly. I've been using it ever since mid Nov. and it hasn't had any problems, until yesterday. I came in from work and it had turned itself on, picture was fine, but there was no sound coming from it, the volume display was on the screen and was maxed out at 99 and it wouldn't go away or let me lower it. Every time I tried it was like it was fighting back and would go back to 99. I tried turning it off but it would come back on instantly after shutting down. All while this was happening the red light on the front of the set was flashing very fast. I tried unplugging it but it made no difference, it just cut back on when power was restored. I left it on for a few more minutes and suddenly it lowered the volume back to where it should be (25) and the sound came back and the light was steady on. It would now stay turned off as well. It did however turn on 2 more times during the night, with similar symptoms. It cut on numerous times today until I finally just pulled the plug. It would stay off for random amounts of time, anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. Sometimes when the sound is out it will have the volume display at 0 and won't let it be changed, other times it will be at 99 like last night. I'm not wanting to try to fix this myself, but was hoping to get an idea of what may be wrong and possibly how much it would cost to fix. I found a code (0,6,2,5,9,6,status) on a message board that lets you access a hidden menu (maybe a service mode?) where it lists error codes. On one line it reads: ERR: 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 and the second line reads: OPT: 255 190 254 232 208 0 0 0 Hope this very longggggg post makes sense. The TV has a good picture and I would like to keep it if feasible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

32" Philips Magnavox TV 32H800 Chassis - Volume & Power Problems
Common symptom with a common failure.
Someone prayed glass cleaner on the glass and it dripped down onto the button assembly and fromt board mounted components. Relatively easy fix with some care in disassembly. Take the tv apart and have a look. You probably need to order the switch assembly and maybe a couple of other small components to fix the set. |

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure that it could be the front switch assembly. Would that cause there to be no sound even when the volume display is maxed out at 99? I hope it is something simple like that. I kept the set unplugged for about three hours yesterday. I restored power to it about 7:30 PM last night. It didn't turn itself on again until about 5:00 PM today. The sound is very sporadic now, it comes and goes every few seconds. Sometimes the volume display will appear and change randomly on the screen (no sound from speakers when this is happening) other times the sound will just cut in and out with no display appearing. If there's anyone on here who's from the piedmont of North Carolina (USA) and knows a good repair shop, I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks. |
