While sometimes there are common known problems and repairs, 95% of the time it requires knowledgeable troubleshooting of the circuits with test equipment. Other components can also fail as the result of another component failing. Philips/Magnavox has always had an unusually high failure rate. Currently, they do not make any televisions and simply license their name to Funai Electric. Since most people are not usually in the position to simply run out and buy a new television when their current one fails, I often suggest checking thrift shops - the ones that are run by charitable organizations not trying to make a profit. They have, and still receive almost brand new expensive CRT televisions that people mistakenly thought they had to replace just because over-the-air transmission went digital. I've seen $1500 televisions selling for as little $15! Sorry I couldn't offer more help.

You say there are 2 lines in the center running across the screen? One of the most common failures in any Philips TV is the Vertical output IC. This sounds like another one. It is not too expensive to fix. In my shop - about $35-$40. Here is a link that might be useful: Electronic Repair & Schematics

A year ago Cayo D posed the Phillips/Magnavox projection TV image problem. Today I have almost the exact problem with my 55" set (Model #9P5514C101). If you have the image problem fixed during the last 12 months, please kindly share your repair experience. My email address is dtwong@sbcglobal.net. Thanks. dtwong
