    Philips 42PFK6589/12 blurred colors and picture upside down.

    Hi all,

    Got a three year old Philips 42PFK6589/12.
    The previous owner said that one day TV went black, after couple months he turned TV on and got this blurred/inverted picture.

    I think blurred colors is caused by bad tcon.

    Picture is half black/half white If I remove left LVSD from tcon.
    Picture is half blurred/half white if I remove right LVSD from tcon.

    What causes upside down picture?
    TV has latest firmware.
    For some reason the factory reset from the menu does not work.

    It looks like the main board have a messed up configuration, especially panel type and flip function or tv model, there's a remote possibility of ruined content of tcon eeprom. go into the sam menu and put in option codes from the back cover of the tv.

      Yes, you are right. Six 3-digit codes are messed up (picture 1).
      I changed thme to the correct ones (picture 2), but I can not save the changes.

      From the service manual:

      How to Store SAM Settings
      To store the settings changed in SAM mode (except the
      RGB Align settings), leave the top level SAM menu by using
      the POWER button on the remote control transmitter or the
      television set. The mentioned exceptions must be stored
      separately via the STORE button.


      So, I am in the top level menu, (like in the picture 2), I push the power button and TV just turns off. After turning on nothing changed. I do not have STORE button on the remote, so tried every button to save changes, but no result.

            Can you just do a firmware update to correct it or not?

                    Thank you everyone for help.

                    TV working again.

                    What I did?

                    From factory mode changed panel id to the correct one and changed panel flip to off. There were some other incorrect entries what I changed.
