    Philips 42PFL7603D/10 - Freeview intermittently not detecting channels

    Hi all,

    Was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction of diagnosing and DIY repair on my Philips 42PFL7603D/10.

    We've had it since 2009, and use the onboard Freeview receiver, as well as an Apple TV and a recently added Zgemma satellite receiver. However most of the viewing is done via the Freeview receiver.

    The issue is that lately when I power the TV on, either from standby or from a powered-off state, the Freeview receiver doesn't detect the stored channels. I need to power cycle the TV several times before it does. The screen is black... the channel menu displays the stored channel name but that is it. It is also difficult to change the input at this stage, it seems to get stuck in the channel list.

    Starting it up on any of the other inputs (HDMI1, HDMI2), the TV works fine for those sources.

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

      Try a firmware update to see if it will cure the problem.

          Hi - thanks for that. I actually updated the f/w some time ago, it is on the latest version.

              If there's a problem with the IC retaining the data then updating could restore.

                  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
                  ...

                  Philips 50PUH6400 bad color and gosting / slow motion on one side
                  by Cornito
                  Hello Team,

                  New issue on LCD panel where I need to find out the cause and the potential solution.
                  This is on the Philips 50PUH6400, the LCD panel is an INNOLUX V500dk2 xrs1.

                  I have image, on the right side, the image is more or less normal even if there is a small blur on edge, on the left there is an issue.
                  When moving up and down in the menu on the right the image is slow to disappear, and is darker, like red/brown.

                  I've checked voltages, no issue found comparing right and left side of the panel driver.
                  VHG VGL CKV... are the sames on...

                  Activate power board Philips 40PFH40009/88 tv
                  by spantor
                  Hello partners.

                  Could someone tell me how to make this Philips TV source work without the mainboard being connected? The model of the board is EAX65423701 (2.1) and the model of the Philips TV is 40PFH40009/88.
                  The TV is dead, there is no standby light, however there is a voltage of 12v on the pins ( included 12v VAU ) and 3.2v on the PS-ON pin (see photo) when the power board is connected to the main board. If I disconnect both boards I only get 8 volts on 12v pins. I would like to rule out a fault in the main board by making it work, but so far no one has been able to tell...

                  TV Philips 40PFT4101/12 - power on loop
                  by betmen
                  TV is Philips 40PFT4101/12, power supply 715G6934-P01-000-002M, motherboard 715G6947-M002-000-004Y (703TQGPL068).
                  The problem is that when it is plugged in, the TV turns on by itself, the Philips sign appears, the backlight turns on and off a couple of times, and the TV turns off, and so it repeats itself in a circle. It does not respond to the remote and nothing is written on the screen, the red light does not blink.
                  A few weeks ago, it used to turn on by itself about once a week, but after that it worked, now it doesn't work.
                  I checked the power supply, voltages are fine,...
