Philips HTS3410D/37 700W DVD Home Theater System System Questions & Answers
Philips hts3410d
I solved this problem on my HTS3410D.
Inside there are two circuit boards, the power supply board and the audio/video board.
- First, unplug your unit and let it sit for a few hours.
- Now open the unit up, and unplug all of the connectors going to or from the power supply board. You can easily tell which board is the power supply board because it's the one the power cord plugs into.
- Unscrew the four mounting screws that hold the board to the case.
- Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, squeeze the two white plastic clips that hold the board to the case (one at a time), while gently lifting the board away from the case.
- Now that you have the board out, feel the tops of all the capacitors (they look like this). Healthy capacitors should have a totally flat top. (There is probably one that is covered in some sort of heat shrink, so you can't feel the top.)
- One capacitor most likely has a slightly bulging top. That is the culprit.
- Using a soldering iron, carefully remove the busted capacitor, making sure to note which side the stripe is on.
- Buy a replacement capacitor at Radio Shack or www.digikey.com that has the same capacitance (e.g. - 1000uF) an equal or greater voltage, and an equal or greater maximum temperature.
- Insert and re-solder the replacement capacitor in the same orientation as the one you took out, then trim the excess leads.
- Reassemble your system, and you're done.
The capacitor that died on mine was 1,000uF, 16V, 105°C. It was located fairly close to where the power cord comes in to the board. I replaced it with a 1,000uF 50V capacitor, and the system powered right up like a champ. The entire process took me about an hour.
I hope this helps some other people have similar results.

My Philips HTS3410D will not
Mine was exhibiting similar problems. It was the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply board.
There are 4 or 5 of them, and between 2001-2005 there was a bad batch of capacitors that came out of the far east, some of these capacitors were inferior quality so they dry out and fail. You can read about them on badcaps.net You can usually tell a failed electrolytic because the top cap puffs out slightly. Mine were actually almost pointy on top.
If you have the dexterity, soldering pencil and time, you can fix it yourself for about $5.00. Be warned that as soon as you open the case, you void the warranty, so if you don't feel comfortable, take it to a professional. Also, My remote is dying, so if someone wants to sell me their remote, let me know.

HTS3410D power light keeps blinking
This seems to be a common problem with this model. It seems as though there are about FIVE electrolytic capacitors in the power supply PC board that have failed or dried out.
They can be replaced by someone that has the dexterity, knowledge and tools to de-solder and re-solder PC board components. Otherwise you may seek a local electronic technician. The parts cost about $5.00. Labor may run you $30 or more.
Hope this helps. I also am looking for a remote for mine, if someone has a dead HTS-3410D.
Thanks!
