Listen folks, these tv.s do not operate as the old tv. The tv breaks down, you simply change the board you know that has the problem only. You can solve the problem yourself if you want, but you have to know how to diagnose a problem in the new tv. First, you have a power supply board, main digital board, inverter board, and converter board. In your case you need to change the main input digital board. You can e-mail me at [email protected]

you still around? i can tell you exactly which 3 dollar part to replace..

See I cant cross that part number and I have all the boards sitting in front of me. That number is the akai part number, but not the actual number of the board. There are 2 boards that they call main in the service manual, the main control board which actually drives the panal, and the "main video board" which handels the video inputs and on screen displays.

PCB failure analysis
1. MAIN CONTROL : a. Abnormal noise on screen. b. No picture.
2. MAIN (video): a. Lacking color, Bad color scale.
b. No voice.
c. No picture but with signals output, OSD
and back light.

If you can determine which of the 2 boards is the problem, I can sell you a new replacement for $125 shipped.

Basicall....Control board is no picture at all.

Main board is no picture, but on screen displays work.

Try PTS Electronics 800-844-7871.

Scott,

Depending on the location of the lines, like if they are in a group close to each other, or all over the screen they could be a couple of things.. If they are grouped in a certain quadrent of the screen, one of your buffer boards is bad, they run along the top and bottom of the screen and are cheap and easy to replace. If the lines are all over the screen, mostlikly the main control board is bad and will have to be replaced.. If that dosent fix the problem then your panal is shot.. Good luck.. Cheap parts on ebay.

Here is the solution. For less that 100$ your Magnavox Plasma TV. Model # 50MF2310/37 will be running like a champ.

Issue:

Magnavox Plasma TV. Model # 50MF2310/37 screen has no picture. There is no sound, TV comes on and then after a few seconds clicks and screen remains blank.

Cause:

On the main power circuit board to Capacitors are prone to failure from over load. The caps are 3300uf 10v 105+c capacitors located to the left of the AC power input.

Service:

Magnavox will refer you to a service center. They will advise $$$ for an inspection. They will also want to charge upwards of 500$ to replace the entire board.

Solution:

1. Unplug your TV
2. Disconnect all connections from your TV
3. With assistance lay your TV on its face on a non-scratching service
4. Remove the back panel screws.
5. Lift back panel off
6. The central board is your main power board.
7. Remove all wire harnesses from the main board.
8. Remove all screws that are holding the main board in place.
9. Lift the main board out and carefully place it into a non electromagnetic pouch.
10. Take the board to a Circuit Board repair shop.
11. Have them replace the the above mentioned Caps.
12. Re-install the board in your TV.

NOTE: Replace the caps with 3300uf 16v 105+ high temp caps(preferrably Japanese caps)

This fix cost me 80$ and my time to search for other who had the same issue. Try searching for Magnavox Plasma TV. Model # 50MF2310/37 bad circuit board or Magnavox Plasma TV bad capacitors or Magnavox Plasma TV bad ciruit board.

Hope this all help, Magnavox is should take ownership for this problem and recall any tv's that have these caps in them. The worst part about this is that teh **** from the repair center that was paid 100$ to check the TV, stripped out the screw holes and damaged the case for the TV.

Portland Laptop Repair was awesome. They repaired the board and it looked like new. Check them out at http://www.laptopportland.com/

Main control board is bad. Very common problem with these sets for some reason.
