i have a philips model number ptv835 and my problem is i was watching it one day and the picture just went but i could still it, so icalled a repair man and he came out and told me it was the circuit board or transistor i cant remeber but he told me it would cost 900 to fix it, i dont know if hes tryin to rip me off but i told him i would think about it, but if theres anyone out there with any information about my tv problem it would be very helpful and greatly appriciated. thank you

Do you still have sound, only a black picture, or no picture as in raster only. Need further details. Also, need the model number of the tv, you have a chassis number. This is a rear projection tv right. As far as the answer to your question, a repair may cost up to $500-$750, Repairman may be little steep, however you're looking at mileage, call out, and shop rates for diagnostic. Ask the tv repairman to do a diagnostic and what he charges, then you can get a report detail, know the problem then. If not then give me more details. I may help you.

thanks for replying but i have more info about my tv its a philips magnavox made in 2000 the model number is 9p6034 c103 and the chassis number is ptv835 and like i said i was watching it and the picture just went but i had sound and the repair man told me it was either the circuit board or the transistor i cant remember but do either of those parts sound like that could be the reason for my problem?

If you go to the following site, they have the replacement LSB ( large Signal Board ) For your model. Just leave them a email and you can get the entire Board for about 200 which includes shipping anywhere in the US.

Well if it's just a transistor, why replace the whole board. The repairman needs to dig a little more.
What I suggest is to see if the red,blue and green lights on the crt inside the tv are coming on. If it does not then replace the flyback transformer and also the voltage divider, this is the screen and focus control for each color red, green and blue. These are hard working components that usually wear and tear due to high heat. This heat is protected with coolant on each colored crt. If the tech says to replace the whole board then he must have suspected a coolant leak that can do some damage when it drips on a circuit board. But, you have to check for coolant leaks before the new board is destroyed also. There are many possible solutions but, everything must be checked. The coolant leak is clear and may look like water, however does not evaporate. Find which crt is leaking and replace with coolant fluid. You must order new gaskets if the coolant did leak. Replace the gasket and clean well before coolant is added. Hope this helps.

thank u mansal 48 for your info and i will check into it as soon as i get a chance but now i have another problem i have another tv with the same problem but with a twist its a mitsubishi 73 inch diamond series rear projection tv model # ws-73905 made in 2000, just like my other tv i was watching it and the picture went out but i had sound but when the picture went out i smelt something coming from inside the tv like a burnt smell like maybe a capacitor blew out or something but what do u think i havent called a repair man yet cause you seem to be pretty helpful and i wanted to get your insight befor i called a repair man

If your low voltage power supply is working you will have normal turn on. If you loose picture, check the high voltage section. Maybe starting at the flyback, then progress to voltage divider. However, open the tv and check each colored tube, red,green, blue. Look at each board on the neck end, see if you have any burnt resistor's. If you do then the obvious is, when the tv was moved it might have cracked the neck of the crt of the respective board/color crt. Don't know the details if tv had just been moved.
If tv was sitting for a long time and all of a sudden went out. check the flyback, voltage divider and respective components. Some rear projection have two H.o.t's. I don't have the schematic for this particular brand, however once you become familiar with these rear projections it's basic. Also check the high voltage section and look around all the Heat sinks, where high heat develops. Check for loose solder or bad diodes (these are abvious big diodes with heat sinks on its leg). Check for the large capacitor's here for dry or bulged, swollen cap's. Replace these with high temperature caps the exact or compatible brands.
Now, listen here carefully, and closely, do not attempt unless you have schematic. Some rear projections you can damage with this procedure.***
PROCEDURE***Unplug power cord, you can undo one highvoltage (red wire) leg from the voltage divider per respective color. unplug one at time (WITH HIGH VOLTAGE GLOVES, GOGGLES) or else stay out. Unplug red crt from voltage divider, the big red wire, then turn the tv on. Then unplug power cord again. Repeat for the blue, then green all have it own big red high voltage wire. If the tv picture comes on, with one of the color's unplugged then you have a bad crt for that respective color. *****iF TV comes on you found a bad crt. If tv does not come on check for local high voltage components. starting with flyback, hot, diodes, and especially the voltage divider. I'd check flyback and voltage divider first. These two have to be replaced if one or the other goes out.
And of course, check for the crt fluid, coolant leak. You can see coolant fluid as you look directly into each color tube. MAKE SURE POWER CORD IS DISCONNECTED AND CAPS DISCHARGED. AND EACH CRT DISCHARGED.
