Hi all, I searched and found no repair info on this TV so I did some old fashion troubleshooting and found the problem. I hope this will help someone else.
This is a summarization of the repairs done to the Magnavox 19md357b LCD/DVD TV Combo. These instructions are based on the assumption of the person making the repairs to be knowledgeable of observing safe repair conditions (all repairs must be done with no power applied to any of these circuits - unplugged). In changing these capacitors, the tech would know how to solder and how to identify the proper polarity of caps to be installed. These repairs were for a unit having the symptom of no signal, with signal applied (no change in LED state - red only).
Removing the casing was not too difficult but separating the screen from the DVD portion first is necessary to do this via the small access flap that will reveal 4 small fragile connectors. Be careful with all connectors as some are hard to remove but easy to break. Breaking these connectors most often renders the unit to be irreparable.
After the plastic back casing is removed (about 7 screws total) then with the back exposed, having the connectors towards you, the board on the right hand side is the one that I replaced capacitors on (Green pc board).
All of the caps listed don't need to be replaced, however knowing of CapXon capacitor's recent history of failures, I'd change all of the ones listed just in case.
C118 = 10000uF 10V
C107 = 470uF 25V
C176 = 100uF 25V
C102 = 100uF 25V
C502 = 100uF 25V
C112 = 1000uF 10V substituted with 16V
C555 = 220uF 25V
C175 = 470uF 16V substituted with 25V now
C117 = 1000uF 10V substituted with 16V now
C503 = 220uF 25V
C114 = 330uF 16V substituted with 25V now
