Ignore their insults. You may be able to fix it. It could be a
learning experience, good or bad. You'll never know until you
try.
Some seem to forget how they gained their knowledge in the first
place, and now that they have that knowledge they discourage
others from taking the same path they did.

That's not really the case. I, for one, actively encourage people to 'have a
go' with help from those of us who *do* have the knowledge, but by the same
token, we have to be realistic in evaluating the poster's current level of
expertise, to see if what they have is appropriate for the type of repair
they are trying to undertake. TV sets are potentially *very* dangerous, and
it would be irresponsible of us to actively encourage someone who we felt
might endanger themselves (or others) by 'having a go'. It's called "making
a judgement call", and I have not seen any comments in this thread that are
anything much more than that. For sure, some replies are couched in less
than 'gentle' terms, but with usenet newsgroups, that's pretty much the
nature of the beast ...

With all due respect, and I mean this in the most gentle way, if you
don't know how to verify if you have a line output, how do you think
you're going to troubleshoot an electronic circuit?
With patience. I was a bit dense at first but I understand now. Thanks
to all
for the help.
If something went pop, and magic smoke was released, there's a good chance
that you will find that the side has blown out of the audio output IC. To
an experienced engineer with appropriate desoldering equipment, and the
skills to use it, replacement of such an IC is a trivial task. However, if
you don't have those skills and equipment, which your post would suggest
you don't, you will struggle to remove the old IC from the PCB, without
doing damage to the tracking.
Unless you feel confident to do this, then I would go along with what
others have said, and try running the audio line outs through an external
amplifier, or take the TV to a reputable repair shop. If you do decide to
pursue finding the problem, *please* be VERY careful . TV sets use
switchmode power supplies, and these are VERY dangerous - actually
potentially lethal ... :-(

I have to agree that this may not be the best place to start learningI have a Philips TV model 32MF505W/17 that has no sound. Something popped and
smoked and when the sound stopped. The picture is still fine. I've taken off
the back and took off the center metal cover. Everything looks fine there.
There is another metal cover that I cannot take off without being a little
inventive. Under that cover I suspect will be the amplifier board? There
should be something visibly burned there but I can't see it with the cover in
place.
If that circuit board is fried, is it possible for me to buy a new one and
install it myself?

I have to agree that this may not be the best place to start learning
electronics. With HC/HV (high current/high voltage), you rarely if
ever get a second chance. Not to mentions, that just acquiring the
tools to do the job correctly can easily cost more than a repair. At
least have a friend that knows electronics help you. If you make the
currently wise decision to take it to a shop, they may let you hang
around and watch them troubleshoot it and fix it. I understand that
taking things into a shop to have them fixed, may not be economically
viable for everyone, but a television is not worth dieing for.
