You might want to call their customer service line before you try this as I have seen several who did upgrades suddenly have worse problems.

SOURCE: We recently got a Philips 42PFL3704D/F7 lcd tv.

I had this a issue with the Component input not working right as well. I had a repair tech come to my house to take a look on Philip's dime. Turns out it's the main circuit board. You cannot obtain this part from Philips. I've been in a fight with Philips to replace the TV. All this started in Aug 09.

SOURCE: Philips LCD TV "47, model PFL 8404H/12, NO SIGNAL on all 4 HDMI

This is quite tricky as it was working until last night and suddenly stopped receiving signals. What can happen wrong?
Do you have any other Player or other HDMI cables to try out. Sometimes the cables would be damaged or PC may fail to detect the HDMI.

Try this out from Philips helpdesk where there is new SW and FAQs are available.

Let me know if you are not able to upgrade the FW (if you do not get the support on ugprading)

The standby power supply resistors on the inverter board have changed values. You will replace resistors R1217, (820K 1/4 watt), R1218,(820K 1/4 watt) and R1219 (390K 1/4 watt). Please use the values just mentioned. Or you may have the inverter board replaced. Take this note to a TV repair Tech.Thanks for asking and show a few hands of support!

When turing on tv it stays frozen on philips logo. called and was told that I needed software update is this true. tv can only be tunred off by unplugging it remote or side power button will not work.

Yes, this is true. It is in need of a firmware update. Here's is where you can get the firmware update and the instructions on how to flash. Probably have to direct connect you pc via usb on the back, however I am not 100% sure. Hope this helps and don't forget to rate this high. http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=42PFL3704D/F7&scy=us&slg=en
