I have an old Philips Magnavox and last night it started turning off by itself. When I turn it back on it would stay on for maybe 10 secs before it shuts off again. "No it's not in sleep mode"..lol Any ideas on what it could be??? "Also"...I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but, I've been noticing for the past few months that the color has been slightly fluctuating. It would get real bright and then go back to normal. One time it went all black and white on me. I had to shut it off and turn it back on to get it back to normal. I know it sounds like the color tube is on it's way out but would that also affect the tv from staying on? I really don't want to bring it to a repair man because it weighs a ton. It takes at least two to three people to pick it up and I live on the second floor so that's out of the question. I really could use some fix it at home ideas because money is too tight right now to buy a new one. Thanks guys?
