20 Most Recent Philips 55PL9773 55" Rear Projection Television Questions & Answers

Sorry to say it but your so called Technicians don't seem to have a clue.

One person talks about adjusting the convergence which you can't on this set, besides the TV shutting off on its own have NOTHING to do with convergence.

All the answers given are the same...replace the lamp, replacing a good lamp will NOT fix the problem with this TV. I have the same set and it has the same issue.

None of your "Technicians" seem to know, they just pretend or come up with standard answers.

MY philips tv model number 55PL9773/17 WAS TURNING OFF THE SCREEN AND LEAVING THE AUDIO ON FOR ONE MINUTE. THEN THE YELLOW LIGHT STAYED ON. THEN THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. thEN I TURNED ON WITH THE REMOTE AND THE YELLOW LIGHT TURNED ON AND A FEW SECONDS LATER CHANGED TO THE GREEN LIGHT AND THE TV TURNED ON. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, BETWEEN 10 AND 30 IT DID THE SAME THING. NOW IT IS OFF WITH A BLINKING RED LIGHT PERMANENTLY ON. TO TURN IT OFF I HAVE TO UNPLUG IT FROM THE WALL. I REPLACE THE LAMP A FEW WEEKS AGO AND IT IS FINE.

Hi.

You may need the original remote to change the PIN.

Choose a locked channel (when asking the PIN).

Go to the menu: Settings>General>Change PIN.

procedure is explained on pages 62-64 of the Owners manual available here. Click to open.

Best regards.

Andrews electronics in the LA area shows it not in stock but I will provide you with part number for this model-----you can Google it on the internet and remember to get an original one--not a universal.

You will have to open it up and replace the small signal module inside that has failed. This is a common problem for the Philips rear projection television

You may have to rework or replace the small signal module. Common problem for Philips projection TV.

theres a snap mounting tab on the bottom edge where it mounts to the light engine.When that breaks off, it won't mount up.

Didi you replaced its lamp recently or within last 2 years?
If not, then it is time for lamp replacement.
Let me know exact model number of TV if you need further help.
Thanks.

Probably a bad lamp. The lamp is the number one cause of failure for this set. The good news is that these lamps are user-replaceable. Just open the sliding door on the back of the set and unscrew the two thumbscrews that hold the lamp into the light engine (the big black plastic assembly). Then pull the lamp out by its handle (the silver clip). look into the side where light is supposed to shine out to see the actual lamp. If it is not shiny and clear, it's probably no good. These lamps are literally available everywhere you go to get tv repairs done. Most shops can even test your old lamp if its condition is questionable. Average price is $150US and is most likely the cheapest repair you can have done to these sets. Just put a new lamp back in, reset the on-screen user menu, and you're good to go for another 5000 hours.

If the lamp is ok, I would recommend having an authorized service center take a look at the set. Since this set originally sold for around $3000US, it's most likely worth repairing. That decision is totally up to you, but a new comparable set will run you around the same price, and flat-panel tv's are much less reliable than the one you have already. Imagine hanging a picture window on your wall, with fluorescent lights behind it. How fragile is that???

I recommend authorized service centers because they generally have more expertise in repairing newer equipment like this set and can repair to component level. This saves you time and money, since you don't have to wait for the repair shop to order a whole circuit card (example) rather than just replace a chip and a few (cheap) small parts (which they stock). End result: you pay $200 less and get your tv back in three days instead of three weeks. That is, if they don't fix it in your home the same day. Either way, an estimate is cheap compared to the price of this set and can usually be done in a day or so.

I have this same problem. I replaced the lamp but the problem still exists. I had a repair place come out. They told me it was a bad new lamp. I tried another lamp but had the same problem. Now they told me it is the lamp driver/balast. I am not sure if I will have them repair it for $350+-. When they did the diagnosis, they didn't even bother to turn on the tv.

Remove the cover on the back of the tv. Look for swollen or leaking capacitors. They kinda look like batteries. If they are bulging or leaking then that is your problem. You will have to de-solder the old ones off. Then solder the new capacitors onto the circuit board. Capacitors will cost about 20 dollars and installing them isn't that hard to do. It will fix your tv 99% of the time. So it is worth a try!

I'm assuming that you have checked that the sound is not muted. To confirm that a reset to factory settings is the next procedure: Menu - Setup - General - Factory settings. If you don't see/hear any modifications then it's a hardware defect, not something with the settings.
This happens when the tv thinks that the headphones are used. Simple test to confirm that: plug in a pair of speakers and see if you get the sound on them. If you get and the situation doesn't changes when you unplug them then this is a mechanical defect: the small switch inside the headphone jack is faulty and keeps signaling that the headphones are plugged in when they are not.
The only way to fix that is to replace the jack, which involves a very delicate soldering procedure , one that only a good repairman can do - you must call one.
