Philips TV picture will not work.

Chances are your main board is defective and needs replacing

The Samsung LN40B540P8F I would rate a 9. Only God is 10.

All the DLP sets, you can throw out

All the Older Projection sets you can throw out

I would take the rest for scrap parts.

I hope this is helpful.

I have a Philips Magnavox Projection TV.

I had dish satelight install on my TV. It worked well for two days, then the picture started showing in a square box. I ffixed the convergence and it seemed okay. The next day I turned on the tv and it had sound, but no picture. When I press the status button, the picture would come on then go right back out. Now I don't have any sound or picture. Here is the model information:

Can someone please, please help me!

These sets have capacitor problems in there power supplies. These capacitors will leak and cause voltages to fluctuate. Have a repair shop check it out.

Hello Jilinzels the problem with your tv set is not the backlight, this problem is usually caused by the inverter board which supplys the power for the backlight to work,for the backlight to your tv set model # contact philips they have one in stock and ready for shipping, if you would like to take my word click on the link below there is a new inverter board for your tv set,you can change this board out yourself with the instructions that come with the board just be very careful when doing so,hope this helps if you have further questions feel free to ask me thank you.

Sound with no picture on this model is typically the HVG/Flyback.

In the service shop, they try the parts to verify.
