Answer
This is a troublesome set. Lots of owners have the same or similar problems.
The power supply needs service. Either a board repair or replacement is in order. Cost will run over $200, sorry to say.
If the set is over a couple of years old you should think carefully about its repair. But, call a few repair shops and get their opinion. They may be more optimistic than I. But, as a rule, Magnavox/Philips are not the most reliable around, sadly.

PS: Try a hard reset and see what you get; merely unplug the power cord for a full 4 hours. Then try it again.
