Have sound but no vision?

Our television will come on for one second, and then go blank (whether TV or DVD). The sound remains fine, but screen is completely black. Can use the remote and TV buttons (guessing obviously as menu doesn't appear on the black screen!). Have tried the obvious turn on/off. Any ideas / advice?

When the screen goes black, shine a flashlight on the screen to see if you can see a faint picture. If you can then the ballast board for the backlight is bad. If you can't see a faint picture, then the T-CON board needs replacing. You can get parts from here:

This can be solved with software release version V1.1.0 (or higher) that is now posted on the Philips web site. Go to the software section for download and more information or click here.

  • Download the latest software from the Philips web site and update TV by using a USB memory stick. (One without any other files on it is best).
  • Follow the Automatic Software Upgrade Procedure described in the Directions For Use (DFU) that came with the FTV.
The procedure is listed below:
  1. Turn off the TV.
  2. Insert the USB memory stick into the USB port on the TV.
  3. Turn the TV on.
  4. The software update will begin automatically.
  5. After the software update is complete, turn off the TV.
  6. Remove the USB Memory stick.
  7. Turn on the TV. The TV will start up with the new software.

SOURCE: Unwanted black rectangle on the TV screen

I'm not sure what type of TV you are using,, but most all Large Screens have a reset button someplace. You should be able to reset the TV and fix the problem. Its not the remote, making the image appear, but a command from it was misinterpeted. Sometimes turning the set off will work, but most often it needs to be reset.

EXCEPTION... if you are using a cable box. Disconnect it from power, wait 1 minute and then see if the problem exists. If the cable box is on even with the DVD you may still have this issue. Please reset the cable, and if that doesn't work, reset the TV.
Thanks! //D

SOURCE: Phillips 37PF73203 37 in Television goes straigt to Menu and stays

verify in customer menu, installation, software upgrade, current software info that software is 1.5.0.0. if not upgrade by downloading from p4c.philips.com website and upgrade via usb memory stick. if upgrade is successful and menu still pops up would be a small signal board issue

Sound but no vision, black screen

It's either the backlight lamp or backlight inverter is busted due to a power failure or fluctuation. Here's how to determine which is which:
  1. Grab a flashlight.
  2. Turn on the TV.
  3. Shine the flashlight onto the screen.
  4. If you cannot see any display even a faint one, the backlight inverter is dead, else the backlight lamps are busted.
  5. Replace which ever is the culprit.

TV screen goes blank but power stays on

Sounds like the CRTs are going into protective blanking due to the vertical output ic needing to be resolderd. Try resoldering the vertical IC that may possibly fix the issue.

TV has no vision , only one channel has sound

your tv is locked!
If you have a blank screen with a red key on the bottom left, simply press the (function or F) button and the mute button at the same time. This will unlock the screen and allow you to view the channel as desired. • If your TV asks for a 4-digit code or password please enter 3308 or 6688 to unlock the screen or reset any preset rating levels. • If you have a GT2011J or GT2011S Television, hold the (Display) button for 10 seconds, it will unlock the screen. If password or code is requested, try 3308 or 6688.
