First verify the exact Model Number of your TV. Mine is a 42PF7220A/37.

go to:
http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=42PF7220A/37&scy=us&slg=en

On this page I found listed under "Software & drivers" the Firmware Upgrade Software 42PF7220A/37 v1.5.0.0

I downloaded the compressed file and extracted it to a USB Flash Drive.
After you extract the file you will have 2 files...."autorun.upg" and a "readme.txt".
Print out the readme file the delete it off the USB Flash Drive
Make sure the USB Flash Drive has only one file on it (autorun.upg)

Then just follow the instructions from the "readme" file.

Fixed the "Menu" problem for me.....

Make sure the TV is turned off.
Put the USB Flash Drive in any of the USB ports on the TV.
Turn the TV power on with the Power Button on the righthand side of the TV.
The TV will display an Update screen.
Let the TV run through all 3 processes.
Turn the TV off and remove the USB Flash Drive.
Power the TV back up.
Hopefully the Updates fixed the problem.....

sounds like your tv in shut down mode why lamp needs 2 be replaced nominal cost 120 200$

Most likely the problem is your Philips 42PF7220A/37, may not have the same power supply board as other people are talking about on the net. So, the C2074 capacitor maybe under a different number.
The best thing I would do if I had the same problem is to get a Service Manual on the internet. It cost about less than $20. Right now your TV is in " Protection Mode" and blinking a trouble code with the red light. The Service Manual will tell you what the red light blinking code means. Plus, it will give you schematics, part numbers list, and test point for diagnosing. It's better to have a manual for fixing than going by guesses over the internet.

The Ymain Board is out if you have the back of the tv exposed disconnect the ymain board and then plug in the tv set and turn it on. the light should remain green and no longer flash. If this happens the Y main and upper and lower buffer boards should be replaced

here is a link to the manual faq are in there sound like software

Most likely the YSCAN UPPER board and/or YSCAN LOWER Board also gone. Your new YSUS board may damage again if you don't replace the bad YSCAN boards. Try to replace the three boards together and then to verify which boards are bad one by one. Good luck.
