More than likely you have a power board that is failing. Since the TV is so old I doubt it is under warranty still. I estimate it would cost you anywhere between $300-400 to repair that problem so it may be time to switch to a newer LCD TV.

Most likely color wheel if this is a DLP.

Lamp needs to be replaced.

There is a problem in the feeding source tendria that to check her

hi,
Your TV didn't have any HDMI port. Do you mean the DVI port. do you use DVI cable or DVI to HDMI cable.
The only way to check whether the DVI port is working or not is by replacing the cable. purchase a new cable and try again.
ok

If you know the password, then it can be done easily, when you enter the parental control password, it should allow you change different settings..... Hope this helps :) If there is no password, then just go ahead and select different things until you find the option to disable/delete parental controls.....

I had a similar problem with my 42 in Philips LCD HDTV.

Here was the problem. My Power Supply Board had several bad capacitors. I opened my TV (warranty was expired of course) and found four bulged capacitors on the PSB. Many major electronics companies Philips/Magnavox, Sony, Panasonic, and others were sold capacitors that failed in 2-5 years instead of 10-20. The capacitors fail prematurely due to a lack of preservatives. Unfortunately, they were installed in all sorts of devices and cause a wide range of failure problems.

Here are some options for you.

1. Have it fixed by a professional $$$$$$$??????? (Is it under warranty?)

Remember, TVs CONTAIN HIGH VOLTAGE AND CAN KILL YOU! Do this at your own risk.

2. Open your TV and find PSB. (The board that the power cord plugs into) Check for faulty caps. If you find some (bulged or leaking) bad caps replace the entire board. The entire board costs around $250 right now because they are in high demand right now. They can be found online. I would definitely shop around though.

3. Remove and then replace individual faulty caps. This takes some soldering skill.

Caps are inexpensive and if you can take care of it yourself it will save you hundreds.

This may be your problem. If you determine that it might be.

I have a Tip/How TO tutorial on this site that may also help. It gives step by step instructions for replacing caps on PSB #715t2432-2. If this is your board you are in luck. Here is the Link: Fixing the Philips Turns/shuts off on its own problem. I'm working on uploading pictures to help guide people though the process as well. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Hope this helps and if it does please rate it accordingly. Good luck.

THAT TV HAS WHAT IS CALLED A COLOR WHEEL WHICH SPINS AT VERY HIGH RPMS AND CAN MAKE HIGH PITCHED WHINING/GRINDING NOISES IF A FAN WAS BAD THE TV WOULD SHUTDOWN AND THE SOUND WOULD BE MORE DULL SOUNDING.

please go to the power supply and see if the caps are puffed on top. I supect they are.
Replace all caps that are puffed or leaking. this will solve your problem and Utube will help you .

Usually noises that are heard even while the TV is in the off state are power supply issues. Something is off frequency or a coil/tranformer is vibrating at a high rate. The part number for the power board is 263973 but the board is no longer available. If the power supply is going off frequency the voltages will change and possibly cause the set to loose its picture. If its just a mechanical vibration then picture loss could be because a failing lamp.

NO SOUND AND NO PICTURE NEW LAMP AND CANT TURN ON

You most likely have to reset the lamp timer. If it gets maxed out it will not turn on till it is reset. Check your manual to see how to reset.

Try a simple hot swap first. Turn off the television and unplug the hdmi cable for a full 30 seconds then plug it back in.
