How can I fix my Philips 42pf7320a plazma tv.

When I turn on the tv the green light comes on and I get some strange short sounds then it turns off and the red light flashes. If I unplug the tv and then start over a few times I can finally get it to bring up the picture and sound and it is fine if I don't turn it off. If I turn it off I have to start all over. I have seen what appears to be a fix on YouTube, but there is no reference to the part number that I need.

As you explained the problem, it seems that you have a power supply problem. The Capacitors in the supply will not supply the proper current and voltages to it sister components.

SOURCE: Philips 42 inch HDTV - "FlatTV" Plasma -- does not turn on.

I had the Same issue. on a 50PF9431D/37 set. Many Plasma Set's use a LJ44-00118A PS-505-PH Power supply from Samsung. Known to have this common problem. If you can, or have a friend that can Solder components?. Unplug your set remove the back panel & locate your power supply. It will be the PCB in the center of the set just above the Video/Audio connections. http://www.shopjimmy.com/power-supply-unit-lj44-00118a-from-philips-50mf231d-40.htm. Is a Link to a photo of the PCB. Make a note of the locations of all cable connections then unplug them all. Un-install PCB, Check all Fuse first. I believe their is 5 or 6 of them on the PCB. Then replace the two 3300uf 10v 105C Radial capacitors at C8060 & C8059. Look to see if the Caps are deformed and or split at the top. The location of the caps are in the Lower bottom edge of the PCB. A local shop may Carrie them if not, digi-key has them. Part # http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=493-1754-ND. Total cost was $7 with S/H.

SOURCE: Hi, I have a Philips model 37PF7321d/37, 37 inch

The power board numbers you need to search for on eBay is 310432847531 or 310432838621 - they are compatible according to Philips.

SOURCE: No picture on Philips LCD TV

One very common problem encountered on many Philips models, old and new, In some cases, the SSB board has to be replaced as the resistor on the PCB on the back of the CRT had to be fixed. In other cases the Y Sustain board had to be replaced. If the problem is not due to these two issues, then the capacitors will need to be replaced as they only have a fixed guaranteed life. Thus, it would be wise to take out an extended warranty on Philips due to this common repair issue which often occurs after the limited warranty has ended. Or you could just call your local repairman. There are lots of websites on how to fix it yourself on google. There could be many reasons. Hope this helps!

Philips Plazma 50pf7320/10

Most Large Flat Panel Televisions have components on the power supply go bad; if you know how to use a soldering iron, sometime they can be repaired, most common component failures are zener diodes and capacitors. If you can't solder, but can use a multimeter, you might be able to diagnose the issue; if you need a new power supply they can sometime be found on ebay for a reasonable cost... If it is anything more serious then that, it's not worth fixing... hope this helps...

When attempt to turn my tv on, instead of the little green light

you will need a schematic for that set but there's a capapictor inte the power supply and possbily the bridge rectifier as well that have cut a current spike which is very common in many t.v.'s they will have to be tested and changed also the capacitors put in those sets in the beggning are below specs due to line voltages and current spikes that occur when the t.v. is turned on and off

We have a Philips 4 BDS4231R/00 and it does not start. We can here the relay sound and if we turn it on and off say 7 - 10 times it works fine. Could anybody tell me how this can be fixed. Please

Hey John, I am experiencing a very similar problem. If I unplug the TV when it is on (green light) and plug it back in. It begins green, and clicks to red. I immediately turn the TV back on with the remote. Most of the time it seems to struggle for several seconds, sometimes with a little scratchy audio popping in and out. It will then go from green to red on the TV and if I try to turn it back on it will go green for a few seconds and back to red but without any click coming from the TV. No matter how many times I try after that, no TV. If, on the other hand, I unplug while green, plug it back in and with the remote turn it back on after it has come up green and then clicked to red, it will come on. It might take thee or five times but at least it comes on... If you hear of a real solution, please let me know ([email protected]) in the meantime, best of luck.

Philips 42" Model # is 42PF7320A TV Yr. 2005

Most likely the TV has a power supply related problem. The most common thing to go out is the circuit board that supply power to the screen. Commonly called a Backlight Inverter Board.
But, I can't say it's 100% the problem because I can't actually look at the tv over the internet.

If you have some electronic experience, if you can find and purchase a Service Manual over the internet; It will help you diagnose the source of the problem and fix it by soldering in the new part. The Service Manual will give you red light flashing codes, circuit diagrams, test points, and part# lists. Usually, cost under $20. And most cases the new part cost less than $15.

I hope I shed some light on the subject for you.

Philips 42PF7320A blinks 3 times every time i hit the power button

The SSB is small self contained board that u connect your Antenna, and HDMI to. An error three is a communication error between the SSB and to Logic board ( located underneath the SSB on the back fo the plasma panel that is just below the power supply. U can check parts.com and see if u want to purchase a SSB for this TV. Is the 3blinking lights coming from the front of the TV. Also check the power supply and see how many times the green led blinks on the upper left of the power supply and let me know.
