    Philips HTS 9800 problem

    Hi, i have a Philips HTS 9800 entertainment system for the past 3 years and it was working fine up until last week. I had it playing full blast for nearly a whole weekend and since then it only works fine on low volumes but if i try to bring the volume past half way it gets distorted and wont go any louder. The speakers are all fine, i have tested them on another system so I think its the amp. I opened it up earlier today to see if I could see any bulging/damaged capacitors inside but they all look to be ok. Has anyone ever come across this type of problem before? What should I be looking out for? There are two capacitors on the board that have a very slight bulge, by that I mean almost un-noticable. Before I go buying the capacitors and changing them out I just thought I'd check on the net to see if anyone has any suggestions. Any help would be much appreciated!

    When it comes to caps and bulges slight is too much.
    That doesn't mean it's the only problem though.

      How large are these caps?

      The size will give me an idea of what they do.

      Is this just a receiver (amp and tuner) or does it also have a DVD player inside?

      Good pics of the insides will help me determine what you need and if it might be other things. In the pic, note the location of the bad caps.

        Philips HTS8000 home cinema noise problem
        by courtcircuit
        Hello

        I have since a long time a Philips HTS8010S/01 which has been old but was doing the job.

        Since a few days, it starts by making a weird "static" nois when switches on for a few seconds to a minute and then works like a charm.
        Noise loudly outputs from the 3 channels, even if no signal is sent by the controler.DVD to the subwoofer/amp unit.

        I was thinking of a soldering that was starting to be damaged and that was only doing the job after a few seconds of heating, most probbaly on the power board
        Removed each of tyhe boards

        Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs
        by theone111
        I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.

        In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.
        1. Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
          Frequency: Happened about once a week.
          Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again.
        2. Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
          Frequency: Happened about once a week.
          Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve.
        3. Problem: TV shuts down

        Philips 58PUS8545 t-con problem or something else ?
        by atkallu
        Hello
        I have a Philips 58PUS8545 which have a vertical moving lines on screen and it is flashing white vertical lines like a every 3-4 seconds.
        See the attached image.

        I removed left side flex-cable from the t-con and then there was half screen sharp and correct image and other half was white.
        But when I removed the right side flex-cable then half of the screen was white but other half was white and above the white there was vertical lines on half of the screen.

        T-con two flex-cables have been changed to cross but nothing changed, so it is not due those...

        Philips 65PUS6262/12 Graphic Problem Help
        by markolino
        Hi.
        I bought a Philips TV model: 65PUS6262/12 Used.
        The seller was selling it as not working well. It was almost free.
        I want to fix the TV in some way.

        Namely.. A very interesting error, but very rare.
        The TV turns on and works. I can go to the menu, open smart applications, etc.
        From the very beginning, the graphics were somewhat strange to me... I'm talking about the menu graphics, etc..
        When I want to start the Youtube application, there is a sound but the picture is green! no movement nothing can be seen!
        If I connect to any HDM input,...
