Question about Philips 50PF9630A 50 in. Plasma Television

My plasma TV turns itself off and there's nothing I can do to get it come back on...

When I turn my TV on, it automatically turns itself back off and the red LED light (next to the green power one) blinks 3 times every few seconds or so. I tried unplugging the TV altogether and it didn't help. Any ideas?

I have had this Philips 50" Plasma for about 3 years. it has worked fine until two days ago. now it shuts itself off after 30 seconds and the remote control doesn't work.

My TV has 2,5 years and worked very well since last week, when I tried to turn it on and the red light began blinking all the time.

I´ve tried to unplug it and once I was successfull to get it back to work.

But the next day the problem started again.

Firmware is avialable for download on the philips web site. The latest one that is the bundle of mutiple patches may not patch all the problems. Looks like it has to be applied indivdually.. -anil

This is going to sound stupid, but I have a 42" Philips plasma that'd been having the same problem lately. Eventually, I checked the power cord--have you ever noticed that the cord just hangs straight down from the bottom of the set? My guess is that over time, it slowly gets loosened by gravity, just a bit, so you get a fluttery power connection. Anyway, it didn't feel loose, but I pushed the power cord in as hard as I could, and I haven't had a problem since.

Sounds like you might need a firmware upgrade try calling philips and they might send you one on a usb memory stick depends on the situation or if that doesnt work your looking at a faulty component in the small signal board
