    Philips 3PFL5606H/12 - good image for 3s / corrupted for 3s and so on

    Hi guys,

    I've just found this TV at the recycling center. The image is perfect, sound is great, but here is the problem : the image is perfect for 3 seconds, then it's corrupted (like vertically stretched) for 3 seconds, then it's good again, then bad, and so on. The sound doesn't change. The problem occurs on the whole image (including the menu screens, so it's not related to the antenna).
    So I'm assuming the problem is located on the logic board and not on the power supply board. I see no buldging caps anywhere. Though there is one "CapXon" lytic cap on the logic board, but it doesn't look bad, and two "Elite" GP with an orange sleeving. It haven't seen any burnt component yet.
    Any hint as to where I should look first ?

    Thanks !

    Can you show us a picture of the defect, in video form if possible? This might be a tab bond problem.

      Aw the TV is apart right now, but when I look at problems caused by tab bond issue, it's very different. Here the image is fine, it just goes bad for three seconds every three seconds.

        I've seen a thermally sensitive line doubling tab-bond before though the problem did get better after some time.

          Here's a video :
          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6JM41pLWKc

          I've let it run like that for 20 minutes with no change.
          I'm hearing some sort of coil noise (not hiss) on the logic board where there is the CapXon capacitor every time the image gets corrupted.

          (I don't know if there a way to embed a video here.)

            Does the menu get corrupted too?
            Can we get a photo around the coil and CapXon capacitor?

              Yes everything gets corrupted, that photo is actually a test image from the menu.

              After looking closely, that CapXon capacitor seem to be part of the sound system so I doubt it has anything to do with the problem, but I'll take a picture of it and of the board.

                Could be that the power supply feeding it is unstable, causing other unseen problems.

                  Here are the pictures.

                  I've just noticed something by the way, there is a fluctuation at the 12V pin where the harness of the PSU is plugged to the logic board (the two red wires) :
                  When the image is fine, I get 11.94V with my multimeter, and when the image is corrupted, it drops to 11.89V. It's a slight drop but it might be important.
                  So it could indeed be a problem from the power supply. But what could make the power drop so regularly ?
                  At the +12V voltage regulator, I get a drop from 11.98 to 11.94.

                    Ugh, this isn't a Philips TV. I mean, it has the badge. But it's just a Unihan OEM.
                    Check the 5V line too. Maybe that is dropping by too much.

                      Ok, well as long as I make it work I'm fine There's no +5V on it, only 3.3V and +24V and they're stable.

                      I've found a NPN transistor (Toshiba 2SK4003) that seem defective but not shorted, it won't open like others NPN transistors when touching the source and the gate.

                          Pictures of the T-CON? What are the voltage labels on that connector of the power supply board to the main board? Not all the pins are used so it may not have 5v stby, but it may use 3.3V stby instead.

                            The T-CON board, you mean the one that controls the LCD panel ? As far as I can see, there are only two small boards for left and right display under the panel. So there's no other board than the two I've shown above.
                            If there were a problem with one of the LCD panel boards, I doubt I'd get a problem on the whole screen since each one of them are for one half of the panel if I understand correctly.



                            I'll try to update the firmware.

                              Ok here are the labels of the connector on the PSU board :
                              +3.3V - blue wire
                              STB - grey wire
                              GND - black
                              GND - black
                              +12V - red
                              +12V - red
                              +24Vsnd - orange
                              GND - black
                              ENA - yellow (mesuring 4.91V stable)
                              DIM - white (mesuring 2.94V stable)
                              POK - three empty slots
                              GND - black

                              I can't update the firmware...I need the remote to start it...that's stupid cause I can move into the menu with the buttons in front of the screen, but not for the firmware update :/

                              I'm getting very unstable voltages at the Q9121 and Q9122, not sure what I'm supposed to get there.

                                Do you know any friends with Philips remotes; or with supermarket-brand TVs? If the supermarket brand is made by Vestel, it will work with Philips TVs. They copied the remote codes for some reason. Maybe it's a somewhat industry standard set of codes.

                                  No, I don't know anyone with a Philips or Vestel TV.

                                  Do you think it could be a good idea to test the TV by replacing the +12V from the power supply with one from an ATX PSU or is it a different kind of power?

                                    Might work, as long as your PSU outputs more than 11.89V or so.

                                      I've just done the test with a +12V from an ATX PSU...no improvement. Still that same problem.
                                      So I guess the PSU board is fine after all.

                                      Could it have something to do with a component that would have a timer in it, or some sort of regular switching ?

                                        Re: Philips 3PFL5606H/12 - good image for 3s / corrupted for 3s and so on

                                        I've made some further tests and found the slight coil noise wasn't coming from the area around the CapXon cap, but on the opposite side, on the lower right of the 9th picture.
                                        I've noticed huge losses of power on the D7106 and D7107 diodes (just above the small mosfet), going from 22.2V when the picture is good, to 14.8V when it goes bad.
                                        And the power increases on the small inductor (L7105, the one at the very bottom of the picture) from 1.70V with the good image to a 2.60~2.80V range when it goes bad.

                                        All of this is located around the TI TPS65168 IC : http://www.ti.com/product/tps65168#technicaldocuments

                                        High Resolution, Fully Programmable LCD Bias IC For TV
                                        The TPS65168 provides a simple and economic power supply solution for a wide variety of LCD bias applications. The device provides all supply rails needed by a TFT-LCD panel. VI/O, VCORE and RST for the T-Con. VDD and HVDD for the Source Driver and the Gamma Buffer. VGH and VGL for the Gate Driver or the Level Shifter. The VGH voltage can be compensated for low and high adjustable temperatures, if GIP technology is used. The transition from one programmed VGH value to another is made using an external thermistor connected to the IC. All output rails and delay times are programmable by a Two-Wire interface: a single BOM can cover several panel types and sizes whose desired output levels can be programmed in production and stored in a non-volatile memory embedded into the TPS65168.
                                        BTW, the problem persists when the screen is on standby mode (no image is shown, backlighting is off, red led is on)

                                          hello everyone,

                                          I don't normally do tv repairs but this is a case with my personal TV which got fried together with many other electronics in my house after a thunderstorm.

                                          The TV is a Philips 65PUS8518/12 which had no power. I measured and concluded that the main board was probably fried through ethernet or hdmi. I found a board with same number 715GD328-M0F-B00-005Y (I had G) but from a 55PUS8518. The TV starts but the image is doubled, distorted. I need to set the panel code which is 016 according to the sticker on the back but I can not seem to do it.

                                          ...

                                          Hello,
                                          the TV turns on fine, seems to be working, but shows no image outside of a thick white vertical line as it turns on that also disappears almost instantly, and then it's just backlight. I've tried unplugging either side, but still can't get an image. I suspect it's a panel issue, but thought i'd ask some smarter people to confirm. I haven't found any weird readings, but then again i'm just randomly poking around with a multimeter.

                                          Any information would be appreciated....

                                          Hi everyone,
                                          I was giving this ASUS ROG G750JM that exhibit the following behavior:
                                          When you press the power button, the computer turns with no image and turn it's off within 7 seconds. The battery charges when I connect the AC power. I tried flashing the bios with the uSB method and pressing Ctrl + Home and I can see the bios upgrade on external monitor.
                                          My issue is the laptop doesn't stay on for a long time and turn itself off.
                                          Any lead on how to resolve this will be appreciated.
                                          I cannot boot in windows and no liquid damage.

                                          Thanks in advance.

                                          Hi, my TV image started showing those lines and the image faded away, but sound is still coming from it, what could be the cause and is it fixable? I thought it could be the tcon board but I red on the internet that it could be a failing panel
