The TV isnt turning on, its only making a clicking noise off and on , like it is shutting off and turning on and shutting off and turning on....ect.

something isnt in place correctly

turn it off
and follow the dismantle and clean and empty etc details

if you dont have the manual then look for it on google

as for clicking something isnt moving perhaps the big sponge
something isnt seated right some dirt hair etc ..
has jammed up the gears ...

clicking is gears and mechanicals

what kind of noise? is it like an electrical buzzing?
a rapid clicking?

It has an overload and needs to be repaired.

there is a short some where or something isnt hooked up right, make sure you go to the main menu of the t.v and sync the cables to the HD and then to your ps3.

It might be the battery earth ? are the dash light bright if so then check the nuts on the starter solenoid .

have a tech check your flyback conection in side the set some times thay come loos during shipment.

Hello there, I'm having a major problem with my TV, I have called all of the local TV repair shops and they all are the same, they want money money money before they will even speak with me about the problem I'm having. This is the only TV in my entire household for a family of 4 and we desperately need the TV in working condition for our kids. I don't want to have to put out $500 for another set if I don't absolutely have to.

The Problem...

About 3-4 months ago the TV when turned on, the picture would slowly come into view and be very scrambled and before the picture would come into complete view the TV power would shut itself off, but the power light would remain on. You can hear the "Click" noise when it would shut itself off.

2-3 seconds after it 'shut itself off' then the TV would make the "Click" noise (The same noise it makes when you first turn it on), it would make the "Click" noise over and over and over again but nothing would happen. So i would turn it off and on again and change the channel rapidly until after 2-3 minutes it would come into view and work.

So we decided to leave the TV on 24 hours a day. Then today we awoke and it was off and making the "clicking" noise over and over and over again but with no picture or sound. Now it wont even turn on/off it just sits there and goes "Click, Click Click Click" and doesn't do anything.

I described the problem as best as I can. Here is the TV information and specifications...

Philips 27 Inch Tube TV

Model Number... 27PT54 3S37A

Serial Number... 78438404

105 Watts
60HZ
120V
Date Code March 2003

Now that I typed the model number there are threads everywhere people saying the same issue exactly as me, I will read them but please someone tell me is there anything I can do...
Can anyone explain exactly what is wrong with the Tv and why it's doing this?

Also, what should I expect to pay to repair it?

Any information or help would be appreciated very much.

Thanks in advance,
Anthony



Just got off the phone with certified Philips shop...they said they will repair it for $100-$130 with a $25 down payment just drop it off and he will call me when its done. Does this sound like its worth it or a rip off?

how to use the remote control.

1. go down to settings
2. remote control
3. find your tv brand (mines in ect(more brands))
4. point at tv (when on)
5. Scroll down list of numbers (#00; #01; ect)
6.go down to the bottom and if your tv dosn't turn off your tv isnt supported.
7. If it is supported click on the number your tv was
8. go back to the main menu

The tv has a shorted component and that is why is making the noise,call a qualified technician to find it and dont try to use it anymore.Is not a fuse.
