    Philips plasma 50pfp5332D/37 power issue

    I posted this in another similar thread but got no answers so starting new one. A friend has a Philips 50" plasma 50PF7220A/37 which we use to watch sports. It was given to him about 8 months ago since it had 'problems' powering on etc. We got it to come on at the new location so we got lucky for a few months. But then it went off and wouldn't come back on no matter what we tried. I do all the gang's tech work so I did some checking on Internet and saw all the posts about similar problems with these tvs.

    We laid the tv on the table and opened up the back. I quickly saw 3 capacitors puffed up on the power board. I've not done a lot of soldering so took the board to a repair shop where I had the 3 bad caps replaced for $20 (I forget now which ones). Put it all together and it worked better than ever. I looked like a genius to the gang. Well, that lasted about 2-3 months and tv started having trouble coming on again. The other day I did the unplugging, waiting, plugging back in a few times but still no power on. Left it plugged in awhile but then all of a sudden we heard a loud pop from inside tv. I thought it'd be easy to spot something burned up inside.

    Opened it up again and looked inside but we could see nothing apparently burned. Looked closely at all caps and other parts, tested all fuses but found nothing bad. There are 2 green LEDs on power board but only the one marked LED 8002 is solid on when plugged in; 8001 never comes on. I saw no other LEDs other than the red and green ones at left bottom (as seen from front).

    When we plug it in the green LED light in left bottom corner comes on for 7-8 seconds but then the red one flashes 7 times, short pause and then again 7 flashes, etc. Somewhere online I read 7 flashes means bad y board.

    After figuring out what board is what I disconnected Y board and plugged TV back in. No change. Tried disconnecting X board but nothing different. I'm stumped and probably in over my head now. Too heavy to haul to repair shop and I'm hesitant to buy new power board for $150+- and then still have problems. Why put more money into an old TV which is apparently on its way out. It's on his table so he's tired of it and ready to recycle it and too heavy to haul to my upstairs condo.

    So, any quick suggestions? Thanks, Don

    Just my luck -!!!! There was a class action suit recently for this model and other Philips but suit is now closed and settled. Late again......!!

      Hmmmmm...... doesn't anyone moderate these forums?? :-)

      Does anyone need any of the boards form this TV? If not, it's going to recycle place.

          If it fails to work with X or Y main unplugged, then the problem is likely on the power board - especially if you heard a pop. Did you test every fuse?

              Also, what brand and type of capacitors did the repair shop replace the faulty ones with? It´s absolutely vital to use capacitors with appropiate specifications.

              Perhaps you can share some high-res photos of the circuit boards?

                  I'm too much of a novice to know what capacitors they put in. It was a small but very reputable repair place specializing in big TVs, etc. so I would have to assume he knew what he was doing and replaced them correctly. And yes, you never know. We did check every fuse but didn't pull them all out.

                  Anyhow, my friend wanted it gone so the TV has the back put back on and in the back of my suv ready to take to recycling. It is way too heavy to keep moving around and no one in our group wants to put $150-200 into new power board and then still might have problems. I think we have given up - that's why my last post asked if anyone might want any parts from it. If I don't hear from anyone in a few days then it goes out. Thanks for all the advice anyhow.

                      I just pinged someone who might be interested. You may be getting a PM in the next day or so.

                          Sony Bravia KDL-70W850B T-CON board / software update issue
                          by eclectric
                          Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue before I give up on this TV.

                          In short, I replaced the T-CON board due to an error code indicating that was the problem, after which it flashed a green and orange LED meaning software update required. I cannot get the tv to do the required update via USB, so I am stuck.

                          Here is a rundown of the symptoms and the steps I have taken to troubleshoot:

                          I inherited the TV with the symptom that it would turn on, then turn off after 5-10 seconds and a red LED flashed 4 or 5 times. Sometimes it would be 4, sometimes...

                          Nikon D5 – dead, power board issue ?
                          by corrize
                          Hello, the DSLR has heavyly fallen. It is dead : no sign of life and display nothing.

                          When it worked, it always displayed a card present state on LCD display, even when the battery is empty it display a empty battery symbol.
                          I found a dead fuse, I replaced it and a mosfet burnt, I changed it and another fuse burned. Nothing burned after. And I can't find any short circuit anywhere, it's weird.

                          Now, I try to understand how it works.

                          There is two boards (the little one on pictures has no component) : the first is a « power board » : managing...

                          Hi everyone!
                          I happened several times, in the search for help from the web, to consult this very interesting forum.
                          So I decided to sign up and I intend to participate actively by making available my knowledge and experience on the subject, I'm a new user but at the same time I'm old in the sense that I have 4 decades of experience in repairing and designing electronics but above all I'm a great passionate about the subject.

                          Having said that I come to the gist of my post on the forum as the title suggests.
                          For my passion for technology I'm now collecting several...

                          Very strange SPI issue with 820-01521 Board
                          by ugamazing
                          Working on an 820-01521 board that we replaced a dead CD3215 on, pretty standard. No issues were found after repairs. We stocked the board and recently pulled it to send to a customer, and noticed a very quirky issue that we've never seen before.

                          The only symptom is: When attempting to connect to WiFi pre-boot (i.e. to run AHT or to load Internet Recovery), after selecting the network and when entering the password, the board acts as if the keyboard is inputting characters--i.e. phantom registering--but it's not. The issue ONLY occurs at this time (SPI input presumably, before keyboard...

                          LG 47LB67 power board EAX65424001 issue
                          by shybear
                          hi,
                          This TV sometimes shut off itself surely for some bad contact of power supply board that (for use and heat) wasn't planar anymore.

                          Found a same on ebay at an affordable price and compared part number and component side components was exactly the same I bought it.

                          The board is perfect and new and the random shut off problem disappeared but there is a dark side on the screen that isnt' present with the old board.
                          Take a look on the back of the newe power board I noticed that this one hasn't some components (4 resistors and 3 transistor) that made me...
