If the set is responding to the remote or set-top buttons, this means only that the always-on low voltage supply for the remote section is working and that the main power supply has probably died. You might try pulling the AC plug overnight to see if there is simply a 'lockup' of an IC causing the non-response. Our modern sets are very complex and it isn't uncommon for them to have a glitch while operating.

    I left it unplugged (from the wall) overnight last night hoping that would help. Will it make a different if I unplug the whole cord that goes into the tv? Thanks!

    Unplugging from the wall takes away the source of power without the need to disconnect from both ends. If the overnight 'rest' didn't allow the circuits to reset, I'm afraid the power supply has failed. This type of failure is often caused by the use of cheap electrolytic capacitors in the power supply and is pretty common. If you want to try to fix this yourself, reply back to this thread and I will post a fairly long set of instructions on how to proceed.

    Before opening the back of your set, pull the plug and allow to sit; preferably overnight.
    There are nasty voltages inside that you want to avoid.

    The main power supply is often on a separate board, will have larger-than-average parts on it, with cylindrical parts (mostly capacitors) and some larger squarish parts (chokes and transformers) and most likely a 'heat sink,' a finned aluminum structure with parts attached to it.
    Look for a tag with a part number on it and have this available when you start looking for service or new board.

    I suggest you contact the service center for your area and inquire about the cost of board repair or replacement. If the latter, keep the failed board since there are small shops (I was one before retirement) with the skills to repair these at a more reasonable cost.

    These assemblies are nearly always only plugged into the rest of the set with clearly dissimilar plugs so incorrect connections are somewhat prevented.

    If you are unsure of yourself, take several pictures of this area before disconnecting anything that you can then refer to if uncertain.
    Remember, many assemblers of most of these just recently came in from small farming villages in Asia so assembly is kept simple.

    Good luck-

Phillips model 37PFL5322D/37 was watching unit and just shut off--no click or pop, just shut off....unplugged power for 1 minute and tried to power up--nothing--will not power on...checked power...

Plasma and LCD TV sets are prone to having capacitors in the power supply section fail. This is the most likely cause for the probem you describe. When capacitors fail your will commonly see one or more of the following symptoms.
  • No video, Power light is on or blinking.
  • TV is making a clicking noise.
  • TV takes a while to come on
  • Screen is very dim or flickers.

Again, You can get a power supply repair kit with the parts, detailed instructions, and support from sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com . Or just click here to see more details on their kit.

Here are pictures of capacitors...Notice that the ones below look bloated. They have failed and will need to be repalced.

Philips 37pfl5322d will not power up. Have tried unplugging for 10 minutes and pluggin back in. Still no power.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR POWER SUPPLY BOARD MIGHT HAVE SOME BLOWN CAPACITORS (CAPS). IF YOUR NOT FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRONICS I WOULD HAVE A TECH LOOK AT IT. ONLY BECAUSE IF YOU ACCIDENTLY TOUCH ONE OF THE CAPS INCORRECTLY YOU WILL END UP IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

The power supply failed on your LCD and will need to be replace or repair. In about 95% of the time the power supply failed due to defective capacitors, shorted diodes or open resistors.
