Apparently I have joined the vast community of people who have problems with their sets.
Over the years I have heard a clicking noise coming from the back of the set at odd hours when the set is turned off. This would sometimes happen a few minutes after we turned the unit off, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes as I walked in the door after being gone for several hours.
Several months ago the set was turned off and I noticed that the power indicator (usually blue when the set is powered) had turned to an evil red blinking light. After reading information from the internet I cycled power to the unit and it started working as expected, and I didn't think anything of it. This cycle also happened a few weeks ago, then the a few days after that, and now it is not powering up at all.
So….. I pulled the cover from the back and didn't find anything that appeared out of the ordinary. I didn't find any capacitors bulging, no heat marks, and no visual problems of any kind.
In summary:
The problem has become progressively worse to the point that the set is useless.
The blinking red light sequence is as follows: 6 blinks, then 3, then repeats.
The tv is a Philips 47PFL7422D/37.
When the unit is initially powered:
1. the blue power light turns on
2. there are 5 micro led lights on the component board (not sure of the correct name, it consists of RCA, HDMI cable, etc inputs) the first, second and fifth light up.
3. the relays click (on the display power board)
4. everything turns off (including the micro leds) and the red light blinks its sequence.
If anyone could pin this problem down to a specific board that would be great, or if we can get it figured out at the component level that would be fan-didlly-tastic…..
Any help or ideas would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
