Phillips 47PFL3603D/27 Cold Solder?

[TvNewb23]

Hi all, just wanted to get your opinion on the photo. Looks like a possible cold solder joint started arcing? If not from cold joint then.... Question is would you take the time to repair the pad, just solder, or look for a new power supply board. Thanks in advance,

That should be a easy fix, wrap a short chunk of wire around the post and solder it back to the exposed pad

Caleb's advice is spot on. I have repaired many of these Philips TVs with the same problem. Crappy lead-free solder!
I just clean up the transformer post and solder in a jumper to the next part on the trace (el65).

I have repaired many of these Phillips units by just re-flowing all major power passing devices on the smps. I have one running in my outdoor party barn that has been there for a year, in South Texas. They are very good sets..Ahead of their time. Used to see them in all the sports bars..now I know why.

Those 2 blue ceramic capacitors fail all the time. You can restore the solder but it will come back , they will either blow up or you will see burn marks as you see it now. I think its the backlight thats failing cause of age , it might ask "to much" power. ( my guess ).

IF it happens again then remove those 2 caps , tv will work without them.
