Phillips 32PFL5322D/37

[Caleb]

So Ive had this one sitting in the garage for a bit, supposed to be fixing it for my dad. It presents with a blue led followed by 6 red blinks, according to the service manual it is a 5v rail failure. Now here is the interesting part, with a 330k resistor soldered into pin 11 (ps on) I get good ps readings as well as steady backlight with the ssb unplugged. It disappears when I plug in the ssb. Then I tried unplugging the tv and replugging with the ps on jumper in place and the tv works fine, can be shut off and turned back on even without the jumper in place until it is unplugged again, then it goes back to 6 blinks. Shop jimmy doesn't have any boards in stock and even if they did they want 100$ plus for a main board. Any ideas what on the main board could cause this? This unit has a chip designated viper that takes care of protection, I am guessing that the 5v isn't making it to the chip, but somehow does when the power supply is engaged.

In the service menu you can see error code history. Have you tried that?

On the back of the set with the 32PFL5322D/37 model number there should be a chassis code for example L593.D AA, what does yours say? May be in a box marked "S" or "Chassis". This can be used to get extra service info.

set says Ej3.OU LA From July 2007, I have not tried the error code history, I ended up soldering in a switch in one of the vents so I can plug it in with the power supply forced on then disconnect the resistor. Out of time for the weekend, working on putting in a new fuel pump in my truck and the work around seems to be effective for now. I will try out the service menu when I get some more time. Thanks for the info Tom
