Hi Check the componet cables, especially if you are using HDMI connectors. Also if you are using a cable box disconnect if from the tv and run the cable signal directly to the TV to see if problem persists. If all cables are connected tightly and secure, then replace the main digital board.

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. Many electronics companies 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 $$$$$$$???????

2. Open your TV and find PSB. Check for faulty caps. If you find some (bulged or leaking) bad caps replace the entire board. The entire board costs around $100

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.

I have a tip/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. It's called: 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, so if you would like to view them check it again soon. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Hope this helps and Good luck.

Hi:
If you open the unit check the power supply for two bad capacitors that are puffin up on their tops. all electrolyte capaitors should have flat tops. Replace them with same type capactance rating, they may be labeled with a voltage rating of 10volts change this to 16 Volts. They may be labeled 2200uf at 10 Volts change to 2200 at 16 volts.

It could be a power supply problem. In this model at least 2 capacitors, go bad in the power supply I think they're 1000uf/10V. If you look at the power supply board you will notice a bad cap with a blister on the top. The whole power board is from $100 - $200. I fixed a lot of these sometime the Y or sustain board goes bad. Visual inspection then measuring voltages..
Best of luck

2 bad capacitor on power supply 3300 uf at 10 volts , this is located on the secondary and is to turn tv on and off if this capacitor is bad tv relay only click on and off

The most common failure on this set to cause that symptom is the power supply. There are capacitors that fail and you can usually see most of the bad parts just by looking at them. If this is the case the best way to repair the problem is to rebuild the power supply rather than replacing it. Mainly because another power supply will have the same problem down the line but you can rebuild your board with heavy duty replacement parts for far less and have it last longer. Most shops will charge about 125-250 us dollars to do this repair. To do it yourself you need test equipment and soldering supplies. Better to have a repairman do this one. Good Luck, Russmann.

Hi my nameis Mike Houston of DISH Network and I see you have a green line on the rightside of the screen, and there was a service tech that said "the HDMI port isbad". The first thing to try is another HDMI cord to see if the problem isstill going on, if it still continues please e-mail me at [email protected].

Unfortunately this would be uneconomical to repair due to the price of the plasma display panel. Your best option would be to look on eBay for a faulty set with working pdp

You either need this part (http://cgi.ebay.com/Philips-50PFP5332D-37-LJ92-01401-Buffer-Board-/150501144120?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230a913638) or this one depending on your dead screen issue (http://cgi.ebay.com/Philips-50PFP5332D-37-LJ41-04216A-X-SUS-XSUS-Board-/170550290208?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b596e720)

Hi,
This sounds like an issue with the power board. There are actually 100's of posts about philips tv's and this problem. You should be able to find a new power board on ebay for around a 100$. Otherwise if you or someone you know is good at soldering/de-soldering. I would check the power supply board for bad capacitors and replace them with ones of equal value. Besides the labor involved the cost of the capacitors is quite cheap usually a couple bucks each tops. If you have any other questions please let me know. If you find this helpful please take the time to accept/rate my solution accordingly.
Thank you,
Lee

Please check the power supply and the Z-sustain board fuses, caps, ICs/Transistors.

Bad Capacitors on the power supply board will cause this . they will be vented or puffed up on top.
1000uf 16v 2200uf 10v 3300uf 10v

Sounds like there is a couple bad caps in the power supply. Check the power supply to see if there is any bubbled caps. Replace with a higher voltage if necessary.

I have the same problem. after pulling the back off. we found that the 3 capaciters above the 2 power relay switches are bad. i am currently looking for a scematic so i can replace the 2 dios that burned up due to the issue along with the capasitors.

Hello,

Your power supply board is dead, u know basic electronics' and soldering? Most of the times, the power supply board just have dead leakages gases capacitors.These capacitors always bulges up on it top,or puff up on it top.Replaced these gases leakages capacitors will get your TV power stable,and work again.Or tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.


Hope this help in solving the problem.....

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?)

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 at tv-part.com but supplies are limited. 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.

Hi

It's a power supply problem board in the TV. It's a bad capacitor or two on the Power supply board. It is suggested to replace the four (apparently inadequate) 1000uF/16 volt power supply capacitors in the "DM module" (one of the two onboard microprocessors). These capacitors are apparently undersized, in that they will eventually fail when there are voltage fluctuations in the circuit above 16 volts. It is recommended to install either 1000uF/25 volt or 1000uF/35 volt capacitors as replacements, so that they will be more than ample to handle any voltage spikes that will occur. Buy the (4) 1000uF/35 volt capacitors as replacements and take the back of the TV apart and remove the faulty DM module, then get the DM module's printed circuit board and re-solder the old capacitors and install the new ones. If you are not technically skilled enough it is suggested to seek help from a technician.

Also try unplugging the unit for 24 hrs and plug it back again.

Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.
