Hi Irabanus,

I tried what you suggested, but that did not fix the problem. Note:
Sometimes the picture stays on longer than a couple seconds.

UPDATE:

I connected a color bar generator to the TV. Now the TV stays on!!!
If I use color bars or any other pattern, the TV stays on!!!! I assume it
is due to the steady picture (no changes in brightness, etc.)?

What else should I check?

Thanks in advance, Brad

Hi Brad;
Adjust the screen control a little higher or lower. Some of these sets
have a very specific vg2 voltage range and are quite critical.

Hi,

I have a Magnavox TV model 27MS3404/17, chassis L01.1UAC-7638
(mfg. 06/05) in my service shop that comes on, picture shows for about two
seconds, then the TV goes "off", but the power indicator light stays on.

The reason it'll stay on with a signal generator on it is that the weak
cap in your horizontal circuit can handle it because it doesn't change
at all. Look for a little 35v 47ufd cap just off your HOT. I just did
one of these... change that cap and you should be good. Can't remember
the position, but it's right off the HOT.
