Sounds like memory capacitor, which is different from other capacitors, is either not soldered to the board, or is bad. It's an electrolytic, but is flat and round.

Yes it is called "DTV" digital television, you will need a tv, the tv must have a digital tuner built in most do now a days, if your tv is older you will need a digital converter box also, you can go down to your local store to find a digital antenna- take it home and try it. the issue with this is you can get all channels perfectly in one room with no problem and in the next room with the same exact equipment you wont get any or very little channels, unlike traditional analog television digital television either works or not, no sketchy picture- best advice is to buy a set up from a store that allows returns and try it, if it don't work try a different antenna, also try moving it around, keep in mind you will interfere with the signal so if it works take a seat in you chair it might interrupt the signal--Good Luck.

Try resetting the TV:

1. Switch on TV and switch to any analogue channel.
2. On the TV: Press and hold the MENU button.
3. Menu screen will appear on the display.
4. Do not release the MENU until the menu screen disappears.
5. TV will go blank for about 60 seconds and then display initial set up screen.
6. Follow the on-screen prompts to re-tune the TV.

If this does not work then the problem is likely to be a loose ribbon cable or main small signals board inside the TV.

possible the main relay in the power supply board may need soldring or you could have a stickey relay

There may be a firmware upgrade needed here--ask Philips what is available for this model.

Need more information? where and when did you buy it? Does it have a manufactures warranty? store return policy?

those are your best bets

LCD panels screens can be repaired, your best bet would be to contact a local electronics repair shop. However replacing an LCD panel gets expensive and it may be more cost effective to buy a new TV unfortunately.

Plasma and LCD TV sets are prone to having capacitors in the power supply section fail. This is the most likely cause for the probem you describe. When capacitors fail your will commonly see one or more of the following symptoms.

• No video, Power light is on or blinking.
• TV is making a clicking noise.
• TV takes a while to come on
• Screen is very dim or flickers.

Here are pictures of capacitors...Notice that the ones below look bloated. They have failed and will need to be repalced.



Capacitor being replaced! Fairly easy DIY fix.

If the set is responding to the remote or set-top buttons, this means only that the always-on low voltage supply for the remote section is working and that the main power supply has probably died. You might try pulling the AC plug overnight to see if there is simply a 'lockup' of an IC causing the non-response. Our modern sets are very complex and it isn't uncommon for them to have a glitch while operating.

Hello

There is something confusing the system control of your TV and it should me resetted. To reset it, just switch OFF your TV with its front panel power control switch, and after that, unplug the TV from the wall socket. Wait for about 5 minutes or so, and the plug it and switch It ON. If this does not work for the first time, give some more time to reset, say about an hour or so, and try. OK.

Hello

Your Philips TV is locked. Tu unlock it, do the folloing.

Philips sets use a four digit code to control the v-chip. The override code for Philip sets is 0711, although it may say "Incorrect code" the first time to trick you. If "Incorrect code" is displayed, simply enter 0711 again. To use it hit the MENU key to get to the menus. Go up or down until you reach AUTOLOCK or SMARTLOCK, depending on the model, and push the "right arrow" key on the remote. Enter the override code, and enter it a second time if it says it is incorrect.

Once in the AUTOLOCK or SMARTLOCK menu, go to BLOCK, and push the "right arrow" key. Go to BLOCKING OPTIONS and press the "right arrow" key. Go to MASTER DISABLE and press the "right arrow" key so that it says "MASTER DISABLE ON". The v-chip is now reset.
OK

Hi.

If there is no power at all, then it is usually either PSU or power cord.

The power cord is tested reading Ohms between prongs in power plug and contacts to PSU. If circuit is open, then power cord must be replaced.

The PSU is more complex to text. If there is no power at all, first test is done on the AC soldering joints, and on the diode located immediately after AC input.

Here a service manual for this model: Philips Chassis EJ3.0U LA Service Manual.

Here parts: 37PFL5332D'

No shorted out MOSFET, inverter transformers, surface mounted DC filter caps (this one is hard to located because they a lot of them in parallel). You may be better off getting new board.
