    Philips 58PFL9956T difficulties to start

    Hi all
    I got this Philips LED-tv 58PFL9956T which is hard to start, especially when it's cool. Symptoms like bad cap but impossible to find any signs of that.
    Please see the attached pictures.
    Maybe some of you have diagnosed this powersupply some time already.

    This is how it behaves:

    1. First attempt to start - 3 blinks on led continously...
    2. After a few tries the backlight might be turned on - and shut down after a second or two.
    3. After a few more tries it can actually be on forever.

    Appreciate any advice!

          No, not at all.
          In my case, looks to be a PSU in pretty good shape , but similair symptom like a bad cap.
          Something is bad when cold. After PSU heat up , "something" is working better.

              What happens if you heat the PSU up with a hair dryer, before you turn it on?

                  Tried that with a heatgun. Can't find an area on the PSU, which gives a difference to behaviour.
                  It's tricky. Most of the control circuitry is SMD and may be shielded from heat due to big components on top side.

                      What are the solder joints like on the reverse side of the power supply PCB? Do they have riveted joints which can prove troublesome.
                      Willing to help but I'm no expert.

                          I've went through some of the solderjoints on the two mains transformers. There is a noise coming from this part of the powersupply, crackling sound.
                          I've had NO luck to find anything which changes the behaviour of this powersupply.

                          It also can start up directly when cold sometimes, so it's not fully heat dependent

                              Repair attempt Philips 55OLED804/12
                              by Sharpa
                              Hello,

                              I bought a SH Philips 55OLED804/12 TV with known defect in an attempt to repair it for personal use.

                              The symptoms when bought: Philips logo appears then tv turns off

                              Things tried so far:

                              1. Powering it on: Philips logo shows on the screen, sometimes with some minor artefacts then shuts down. Red status led flickers rapidly into two batches then repeats
                              2. Put it in recovery mode by pressing joystick down then plugging it to mains: The tv shows the logo then shows the android animation along with some minor artefacts on the screen...

                              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?

                              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...
