Hello wisportsfan2,
Try the following first:
If you are using a direct cable connection from the wall outlet;
If you are using a coaxial connection from the Cable or Satellite box to the TV;
If you are using a video connection (CVBS, S-Video, YPbPr, HDMI) from the source (DVD, Cable or Satellite box) to the TV;
If you are using an
HDMI connection from the source (DVD, Cable or Satellite box) to the TV;
If you are sure you have selected the correct input or channel but still have no picture and sound;
You can try the "Whack" method first though..Just smack or whack the
set with your hand or fist around the cabinet
to see if that will either aggravate or restore the picture. If so, it
means there is a loose connection or cold solder joint of some kind,
which you may be able to repair yourself if you have the soldering
skills.
If it still does not work, it looks like there is a problem with the vertical blanking due to faulty ribbon connectors, although there are several things that can cause it.
But in my honest opinion, it is best to
have an expert technician come in and do some tests on it in order to
diagnose the root cause of the issue. It is not
easy to fix this yourself, if you have no experience, as there are a lot
of parts that have to be removed before you can reach the components. It could
be as simple as a loose connector ribbon or a bust capacitor, but it could also be more
complicated. Hence, in my honest opinion, better get a qualified technician.

no i havent a solution yet. am waiting to hear from Philips support & Customer Care by email or phone. I cannot afford to pay you people just to ask a question that i probably could not understand the answer anyway. I know my tv just stopped working and I think it was the manufacturers problem. Like i said it was not an old tv.
thank you anyway

I just got through explaining this to someone else - the HDCP encryption system that Philips uses is not future-proof - you will continue to have this problem as long as you use an HDMI connection with a Philips TV. My advice, which you can take or leave, is to use Component (Red, Green and Blue) cables. you won't get 1080p, but you will get 1080i, which is pretty close.

The audio or sound IC (integrated Circuit) on the TV panel maybe bad and need to be replaced.
Also, the speakers of the TV may have a weak connection from inside the panel.
But my best bet is the first solution i gave. If u are not a qualified electronics technician then take it to a service centre.
