    32" Philips PAL TV from India- should I get it or leave it for somebody else?

    I know this isn't troubleshooting related but thought it was the best place to ask. There is a supposedly working 32" Philips flat screen originally from India for free near me on FB Marketplace. It's a PAL receiver but will do NTSC (?) from the HDMI inputs. Will add the model number later. I like quirky stuff but have plenty of TV's/monitors around so I don't really know what to do with it. Should I get it and see if there is a compatible NTSC/ATSC tuner board that could be swapped in?

          Philips 32PFL4901/F8 BA4GF0F0102 2 Not getting standby led
          by alro7779
          Hello, guys!

          The same 32" Philips TV I was having video issues, but now I don't have standby led at all. Someone here shared with me the schematic of the power supply, and checking the voltages, I see right after the resistor R604 I'm getting 1.6 v which is too low for enabling the Gate of the Q601 mosfet (the diagram says 4.2). On the R614 resistor I'm getting 181 V in and 117 V out, then through R603 I'm getting the same 117 V in and 59.9 V out, finally getting the latter voltage in the R604 BUT getting just 1.6 V out, which is the voltage that goes on to the Gate of the Q601...

          Philips 8200 series 65PUS8204/12 stuck at Philips Logo
          by G33RT
          Philips 8200 series 65PUS8204/12 stuck at Philips Logo, it does not reboot it just stays on the logo.

          It does power up when pressing the power button.

          I already try the power button while plugin the plug with no result.
          Also put the latest firmware autorun-TPM191E_R.001.004.100.000.upg on a MBR/FAT32 USB stick at USB port2 with no result either.

          Could this be an PSU or eMMC issue ?

          Philips curling iron - is this a common AC cable?
          by double_DD
          Hi all,

          Wife has 2 Philips hair curling irons half defective - after learning how they're supposed to work and testing them, it turned out that both have defective power cables, and both on the same place; broken wires due to wire bending.
          As they were both relatively easy to disassemble, and cables are plugged not soldered (as they can rotate in the handle), I was sure it would be easy to find replacements. But - NO! I'm unable to find anything similar on ebay or Aliexpress.

          Not sure if this is something Philips proprietary, or a standard, but the cable plug...

          Philips 47PFS7509/12 LCD TV problem
          by janos6662000
          Hi

          I have here a Philips 47PFS7509/12 LCD TV which came to me with a weird problem : without signal i could access menu, make a factory reset, access menus, etc.
          When i applied cable signal to check image, i had normal picture, but TV was restarting.
          I downloaded original firmware and applied the update, but the problem remained.
          From a colleague i received a "factory package software" which is a lot bigger.
          I made another firmware update, but still did not solve the problem.
          Somewhere on the way the error got worse, because at the moment the...

          Philips 43PUS7506/12 - Loud blown out sound
          by aidanmo
          Hello,

          I've got a really strange issue with the speakers on my Philips 43PUS7506/12. It makes this awful loud buzzing now. It happened after it was attempted to be wall mounted - I think the back got squeezed and something broke.
          I thought maybe the speakers got damaged, so I replaced them - no dice.
          • Using the internal speakers, it always happens.
          • Using the headphone jack, it never happens.
          • Using the digital/optical out with a soundbar - it happens after about 2h/movie runtime - it's never as drastic, it just pops in and out, but I didn't want it to damage the sound bar
