Thank you

That indicate insufficient voltage out of the inverter. Check the input voltage and of course pictures help us help you. Attach the pictures using 'Manage Attachments'.

i asked someone from just answer and they tod me to replace the master inverter, do you think this is the correct thing to do

i know there is the master and slave inverters, is there more then those two?

Re: phillips 47pfl7422d is dim on left side of lcd

i was looking at the 2 capacitors on the master and slave inverters and the new slaves capacitors look clean as where the old slave and masters look like they have opened up on the end and have had a blackish material ooze from them. Does this mean they are bad??

Yes, they are bad. This is why we always ask for photos. Replace the bad capacitors with something like Panasonic FR or FM series from digikey or mouser.

If that is a 680uF 35V cap, this will work (assuming height and diameter are okay)

And new caps will cost under $10, including shipping.

If you DO decide to buy a new board, perhaps someone here might be interested in the old boards.

...and the new inverter(s) will need its/their caps replaced as they're using the same brand and series of SamWa crap capacitors!

Re: phillips 47pfl7422d is dim on left side of lcd

yeah i just ordered the new board that will be here tomorrow, its not my tv but im sure if someone wanted the bad boards we could work something out.

Re: phillips 47pfl7422d is dim on left side of lcd

well put the new master in and same issue, still dim on left side
any ideas, now i have replaced the master and slave inverters.... does anyone think the board that the bulbs plug into is bad

Re: phillips 47pfl7422d is dim on left side of lcd

i have the tv on and the back still off it seems as if the slave inverter has no power... its not buzzing like the master at what points should i check for voltage

[Tc4595]

Re: phillips 47pfl7422d is dim on left side of lcd

ok so i checked the input voltages at the slave inverter and found that vin-1 - vin-5 have 23.95 volts, so it has power but seems like its not turning on anymore

Re: phillips 47pfl7422d is dim on left side of lcd

well thank you all, i just checked the ceramic fuse on the slave board and it is bad, now to replace the little guy, hooked up jumper wire to the old master and bam it turned on... hell yeah

[Toasty]

Re: phillips 47pfl7422d is dim on left side of lcd

That was the new slave?

[Tc4595]

Re: phillips 47pfl7422d is dim on left side of lcd

yeah i dont know how it was popped unless it came that way or because i didnt replace both at the same time... but i soldered a the fuse from my old master to the new slave and the tv looks great

Re: phillips 47pfl7422d is dim on left side of lcd

Thanks to all in this tread,i fixed a same tv whit the same problem just reading here

Re: phillips 47pfl7422d is dim on left side of lcd

I've got the same problem (both caps pop'ed on the Slave but only one pop'ed on the Master). Do you think I can just replace the caps or is there potentially something else bad on the board too? Someone in the thread mentioned a ceramic fuse but I don't see it anywhere. What else should I check before I reinstall the inverter CCA's?

And new caps will cost under $10, including shipping.

If you DO decide to buy a new board, perhaps someone here might be interested in the old boards.

The capacitors are likely the only fault.
