Philips TVs From Hotels - 32HFL5763L/F7 and 32HFL5561D/27 - Finding SSBs (Main Boards
Hello all. This is more of a rant than a cry for help. I recently picked up two Philips TVs that were apparently pulled non-working from a hotel (the HFL series are "hospitality" models, I learned). Both need main SSBs (main boards) in my opinion. This wouldn't be a big deal if it weren't for the difficulty in finding parts.
For the 32HFL5763L/F7, the SSB can be taken out without removing the entire back. Seems user friendly; if it goes bad, get a replacement and slap it in. Makes sense in terms of warranty repair as well.
The more I bang my head off the workbench, the more it seems these TVs weren't meant to be repaired by the general public. This is fine but as it stands I have two TVs that are going to head to the recycler. Something tells me that even if I find replacement SSBs for 50 bucks or less, it may not even be worth it.
Rant over, I guess. For anyone interested in part numbers:
32HFL5763L/F7
SSB: 313928802831 Partial Part #:8802831
32HFL5561D/27
SSB: 313928801654 Partial Part #:153518
I sent an email to an online retailer asking for help, once I get a response I'll post it. Thanks for reading.
