    Philips 42PFL5603D/27 with bad backlight inverter

    I picked up this TV for $50 and the picture quality is decent. The people I bought it from said it would shut off after 5-10 mins. The first night I brought it home, I stuck it on my UPS battery backup with my Panny Plasma and watched Family Guy episodes for 2 hours and it never shut off. After moving it to it's final destination (bedroom) it would shut off much closer to the 5-10 min mark so I started some investigation and found that it the tv is not shutting off, the screen is going black (still playing sound as well) and I can still see the menu/image on it with a flashlight.

    So it appears the backlight inverter(s) is bad. It is now to the point where the time that it stays on is random (sometimes depending on if it is left completely unplugged or if a fan is pointed at the PSU with the back plastic off) and it tends to come on and then flicker and go out.

    My next question is, I've had some experience with electrical parts and soldering having taken some electrical engineering classes while back in college and worked on things here and there. Is this something that I could test and replace parts? I discovered that the inverter is actually built into the power supply.

    I'm attaching a picture of the power supply/inverter used on this TV. (Picture is of the part from an ebay listing).

      Use a hair dryer in the suspect area to try to pinpoint failing component(s).

          You might want to check reverse side for dry/bad solder joints.

              Philips TV Backlight Repair
              by chestercc
              So i'm trying to replace the LED's in a Philips TV. It's 42" with a 715g7262-p01-000-0010 backlight driver board based around an O2 Micro OZ9902CGN.

              My issue is when I replace all the LED's on one board with the new 3V 300ma ones they immediately burn out when the set is powered again. I previously tried the same thing with 6V LED's and the backlight flickered for a bit but wouldn't start.

              The original LED's which I removed which are still working start to melt and burn when given more than 3V on DCPS so I know they shouldn't be higher voltage ones.

              Trying to control Philips backlight manually with PWM — brightness increases with frequency...?
              by ohren
              I raised the question of whether PWM on the power board "dim" pin would be a reasonable assumption for controlling the backlight of a Philips TV (55put6101/12): https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...d-tv-backlight. I didn't receive any insights there so I went ahead and tried it.

              The setup is basically:

              Rpi3 hardware PWM → 220 Ohm → NPN transistor → dim pin

              Transistor is switching the 3.5 V supply on the power board....

              Philips 55PUS6804/12 turn on & off (probably backlight issue)
              by ovrax
              Hello everyone,

              First of all, please excuse me as I'm quite new to this field.

              I have a Philips 55PUS6804/12 TV. It turns on and off instantly (backlight flash). I personally think it's a backlight issue (faulty LEDs). Could you help me confirm my diagnosis?

              I've checked and the T-CON seems to be fine. I disconnected one ribbon cable at a time at the bottom, but the problem persists.
              The Ambilight works perfectly and stays on.

              No sounds.

              Thanks in advance.

              UN65TU700DF picture and sound but no backlight. BL tests ok but repl. PSU didnt fix!
              by triplefour
              this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
              i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
              unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
              according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

              philips 55pft5500/12 Backlight issue. What am I doing wrong?
              by DoOm86
              TV philips 55'' no backlight (image ok).
              I tested the backlight with my led tester from the unplugged connector cable and it lights up. I had voltages at the motherboard connector, but anyway I order a new psu. Same problem, same voltages. Disassembled the TV and checked every strip with my led tester, they all light up, same voltage for every pair of strip (they go two by two).
              What am I missing?

              And something else I don't understand. I checked and I have 3v Leds, 10 per strips. Why every pair of strip (so 20 Led) take about 32v when powered up with my led tester 🤔
