I have a Magnavox 32 inch TV, model #MS3252S, that I bought eight months ago that has suddenly stopped working...When you turn it on, a very poor, dark picture comes on for a few seconds, then it blacks out to nothing...The power light stays on, though...Since it's still under warranty for parts (not labor), I contacted Magnavox for help...I live in Texas, they wanted me to bring it to a place in Lake Charles, LA to be repaired!...I called that "repair shop" and it was someone's residence!

I know I probably have no recourse for this problem, but I do know I will never purchase a Magnavox or Philips product again...$357 for a TV that didn't even last a year...what a waste..

Any comments or suggestions greatly appreciated,
Matt

I ran into that a few times, for some reason, the call centers that are subbed out for MFG's, dont always update there list for repair people.

Sorry to here about your tv.
