First off,
Happy New Year everyone!
Someone recently asked me to look at their Philips 42pfl4508g/78 TV which had stopped working.
A quick visual check of the PSU revealed a ceramic cap with a hole burnt through it, and that the output voltages were wonky. The 5.2v Standby was only 3.2v. The 24v - 19.1v and the 12v - 11.2v. We found a cheap 'guaranteed working' replacement PSU online, which they bought and installed but it still the TV didn't switch on, and when I went back to test the new PSU board, it showed the same kind of low output voltages....
