I have a Philips 47PFL7403D/27 that the screen/video goes black. The audio never fails, however, the picture will go black. I hear popping/cracking coming from the upper left side of the tv (looking from the back or right side looking from front). I can shut the tv off and back on again which usually brings the video back. I have called two tv repair companies and they will not look at it. I have researched this on the internet and it appears this is a commong issue with Philips. I called Philips and since my tv is out of warranty they claim no responsibility. Is this something that i can repair? Is this a power board problem? Any suggestion would be embraced.

Re: Philips 47PFL7403D/27
If you can get the backlights on somehow, try to lower the contrast or the brightness and see if it changes. Just a hunch.
I personally HATE Philips. Philips makes bad LCD TV's no matter what name they put them under. Philips makes Magnavox and LG's. They are all crap.The strong-minded rise to the challenge of their goals,the weak-minded BECOME HATERS

Sounds like an inverter board transformer is failing. I had a similar model with the same symptoms. a new inverter fixed it.Comment

Re: Philips 47PFL7403D/27
Try getting the reference from the original invertor board (you're going to have the TV opened) and search a bit on the Net. The TV model Nr could help as well.Originally posted by ascmmc View Post
If you don't manage to do it yourself, please come back here with mentioned references and we'll try to help.
Good luck!Comment
