If dead then its your power supply bad, if you have led lights and no picture then it could be inverter 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 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. Here is the Link: 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. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Hope this helps and if it does please rate it accordingly. Good luck.

A "One for all" remote should be able to cope with that. Most electrical/electronic stores stock them.

Hi,

The codes referred by Comcast are :-

0054, 0030, 0171, 011, 013, 015, 017, 027, 031, 072, 073

If the problem persists, you need to mention the specific remote :-

http://www.comcast.com/corporate/customers/customer_support/remotes.html

There are few remotes which cannot be programmed for this set. Harmony remotes are the most successful on this set.

Let me know,so that we could proceed.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

IF YOU HAVE THE DARK GREY REMOTE FROM COMCAST, IT WILL NOT WORK. SWITCH YOUR DARK GREY REMOTE FOR A LIGHT GREY REMOTE AT COMCAST OFFICE.

The power supply is weak and needs changed, or replace the bad electrolytic caps on the power supply.

Unfortunately, this is one of the few functions, that you CANNOT program. I do have an Idea, you can buy, learning remotes, that you "Point" the original remote at and the learning remote, "Learns" the code, for whatever, then you simply program that button,and your all good. I recommend this, as this is the only way I know, of being able to used the ON/OFF function, in Universal type remotes.

If you do not get pictures with any video source then it may ahev 24vdc power supply problem, backlight inverter problem, need troubleshooting.

Hello,
Common problem with this TV is the power supply module.
Check the power supply; look for bad caps with leaking/bulging tops, check to see if you have standby +5vdc at the power supply connector, the front red indicator will not be on if you do not have this +5vdc standby voltage due to shorted out. hope this help in solving the problem.

Check your remote power button, make sure its not lose or faulty and turning your TV off for you. Also check the batteries, some times dying batteries cause small problems. Not very often but still a factor.

Now check your power button on the TV itself, make sure its not lose and causing the TV to turn off.

Also check your cables, and your power cord, make sure it is plugged in securely to a working power outlet.

Please use caution when dealing with power related tasks. As not to get electrocuted.

The power supply may be sensing short circuits in the power supply or in the backlight inverter board so it goes into shutdown mode. You need to do troubleshooting.
