There is athe power light on the set but no A/V.I had gotten advise from fixya that the power supply was bad on this set. I found a new PS and replaced it. It ran fine for less than 24 hours. Something else is causing this failure. Any ideas? Thanks
ONE: Try a hard reset. This will correct any software code if it got
corrupted in some way. Merely unplug the power cord for 4 hours or
more. Then power it up again. If the reset does not cure the problem
it means there is a hardware failure of some kind. Probably within the
controller IC (Integrated Circuit) which controls all the user
functions.
TWO: If the hard reset does not correct the problem you could use
external speakers. Using the headphone as an audio output it can be
fed to an external amlifier/speaker. You can purchase stereo speakers
with subwoofer (they are commonly used for personal computers) for $19
and up. They will just plug in simply to the tv and will give adequate
sound quality. Maybe better than the original sound.
THREE: If you call in a service tech it will cost at least $100 or more.
Dear,
At the PS section, the two capacitors can be caused this. check its functionality and physical status. most of the times, the capactior burning can be viewed at once.
regards,
dont rate it until u satisfies
Hi
On the CRT circuit board(picture tube), you will find R3340, which is a 10 ohm 1/3w resistor. The location of the resistor is printed on the bottom of the ckt board. It is burned open, replace with a 10 ohm 1/2w resistor. This will solve your problem. The original resistor was sized too small, should have been a 1/2 watt.This resistor is mounted standing up on ends. Mount the replacement resistor the same way. You can probably get the resistor at your local Radio Shack. You will probably have to buy a package of 5, but what the hey . . . they are cheap.
Be careful and don't get the circuit trace too hot and damage the circuit trace. (it's very small)
Good luck.
The most likely cause of this problem is a bad lamp. Replace the lamp and all should be well again. In fact, you will be amazed at how much brighter the picture is after the lamp has been replaced.
The converter have failed, or there is a problem with converter wiring/connector. also test backlight system.
The inverter must be tested, and eventually replaced.
On australian models four blink is PSU fault on 5V.
If you are in US is backlight fault

Hi!
The loss of picture is due to defective display driver circuit.
There are many many types and parts to the driver circuits in these sets. There are also the shutdown or protection circuits built in to these circuits that are suppose to protect those circuits from blowing out but as history tells it, these protection circuits, according to service records, as well as real time repairs ,are showing that these protection circuits are causing these sets to fail.
Befor trying anything else upgrade your firmware by using USB Flash Drive. Download it from the link---

This upgrade is for Model no. 42PF9630

Check out the main fuse.
and let me know.
Please repost the original problem in full
Since you feel comfortable using the service menu you may want to go and clear the error, and watch for it to happen again. Use the Reset Error Buffer menu item to clear it.
Have you updated the firmware?

or HERE to go to the site directly for download.
I read somewhere on the Philips site that some TV shutdown issues can be caused by electrostatic charge buildup? And that could be remedied by unplugging the TV for 10 minutes from time to time.
Make sure your thumb drive is formatted in FAT only. Not FAT16 or FAT32. That should get it going.
It's either FAT16 or FAT32, and your USB thumb drive must be FAT32 formated to work.
Put your thumbdrive in a computer, and click on "My Computer" icon. You should see your thumbdrive. Right click on the thumbdrive icon and select Properties. It should say File System: FAT32. If it says anything else, then it will NOT work.
Remember that you have to unzip the firmware file you downloaded from the internet, and then copy the unzipped file to the USB drive. It will NOT work if you don't unzip the file first

Is the light flashing?
Following Ginko's advice here are some manuals
×
If you have no blinking code you need to buy the service manual and follow the troubleshooting diagrams to find out what is the defective component that is blowing the PSU.
Before replacement the old PSU should have been tested.

No, the power light(green) remains steady. When the problem reoccured the a/v came up briefly and went out. After I repowered the set I could hear the PS click but still no a/v. Thanks
The green power light remains steady (no flashing).
I purchased a service manual which told me how to access the helpdesk mode. The only error code that came up was 04. When I went into this mode the a/v came up temporarily and then went back off as if there was a thermal issue.
This TV (Phillips 42PF5321D/37), stopped displaying video and audio. It has just a steady green power light with NO flashing lights. I had posted the problem a couple of weeks ago and was advised that the PS was faulty. I found and replaced the PS, which worked for 3-4 hours until I shut the TV off. As soon as I powered on the set this morning it ran for 1 minute and lost a/v. After I posted the problem again this morning I received a terse answer that I should have gotten a service manual to troubleshoot the problem. I thought that was why I came to you guy's in the first place. Anyway, after buying the manual and reading about the helpdesk option I got the tv up long enough to get an error code of 04. The tv again went off after 5 minutes or so. I don't know how to interpet the error code. THX
I have the same issue a green light that stays on but no picture or sound. but in the back of the set on the powerboard in the middle there is a green led that flashes 4 times then reflashes 4 times.
