    Philips 47PFL3603D/27 scratchy weak audio

    I got this TV for free earlier this year with a backlight problem the guy didn't want to have fixed again. The problem was very easy to find.....you all should have seen the light show behind the backlight transformer.....it literally looked like welding spatter!

    At any rate the trace around one leg of the BLT went up in smoke right before my eyes and left a crater in the board. I solder bridged the leg to the remaining trace, tested it then buried the repair in epoxy to hold it solid. I also refreshed the ground pads and cleaned up the chassis where they were arcing. The screws were tight so maybe the last guy resoldered the BLT to the board without concern for the grounds?

    Now the problem I'm having is scratchy weak and fluctuating audio on both speakers. The speakers look fine. I pulled the main board and saw nothing obvious. While the MB was out I refreshed the grounds, board and chassis.

    So has anyone seen weak scratchy audio with this particular TV or have any troubleshooting steps? On this one I am at a loss where to start. I'm pretty sure the zoomed in picture on the main board is the audio section.

    Pictures attached. Thanks everyone!

    I see a very high view to reply ratio on a few posts tonight, but mine is stuck at 3 views and no replies. Did I miss the mark somewhere?

        Can you post clear pictures of the main board? (The board that your inputs connect to)
        Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.

          Re: Philips 47PFL3603D/27 scratchy weak audio

          Does the main board have:
          1) RCA Line level audio output that you can verify to see if it also has bad sound on those RCA audio line out jacks.
          2) Headphone output jack that you can verify if it also has bad sound or not.
          If one of the BTL is tied to GND then more likely the output stage of that Class D amp chip is damaged.
          Disconnect the speaker connector and measure the Voltage between chassis GND against each pin of the speaker connector on the main board.
          BTW, what is the P/N of that Class D amp chip?

            I'll get that chip number and see if I can find a datasheet for it too.

                  Thanks for posting that! I've yet to see another TV with that kind of main board interchangeability. I will consider replacing it if this one can't be fixed...or I mess up on the repair. The chip is about $2.50 from Digikey and its available.

                      I guess I'll just order the class D audio IC, toss it in there and hope for the best.

                        Also what is BTL, never heard that.
                        bridge-tied load (BTL)
                        That is where they connect the load (speaker) from one amp output to the other amp output for more power, the input phase needs to be 180° from one amp to the other.
                        If a trace burnt up on the output ic it is very likely it burnt due to a shoted ic
                        Do you have +12 (8,20,29) and -12 on (9,23,26) also -12 on (1,16,17,32) voltage supplies for the ic?

                          have a Philips tv but not same model . audio chip was cooked and it put out dc to the speakers and cooked them . i removed the chip and tested with headphones and was fine so replaced chip and speakers and that fixed it . the caps next to the chip were running hot with faulty chip but run fine with new chip .

                            Are those the pin numbers to check on the IC? If so I will check them tomorrow.

                            The trace that burnt up was on the power supply board, the backlight transformer leg had a bad solder joint and had been repaired previously.

                            When I check those pins tomorrow as suggested by R_J I'll see if those caps feel hot. Will an ohms check on the speakers tell me if they are cooked?

                                Unfortunately another problem has occurred after accidentally shorting pins 20 (Vddp2) and 21 (boot2) while checking for voltage. Now the TV turns on by itself then turns off about 4 seconds later. Once again I tried probing voltage with the TV on the stand, on the floor and while I was in an uncomfortable position. Stupid mistake.

                                I'm guessing BOOT2 signals the processor that the high driver circuit is OK upon start-up? If so could the TV be shutting down because this circuit is now shorted in the chip?

                                  See if this manual will help, page 44 has a schematic of the TDA8932 audio ic.
                                  It could be totally different but you never know.
                                  Whenever I need to probe fine pitch ic's I either use my needle probe (made with a sewing needle and a piece of wire connected to meter) or find a component that is connected to the pin, ie res. cap. etc. and put yor probe on it.

                                  Find a point to check if you still have +12 volts going to pin 20

                                    I was probing the wire with the lead from my LED tester which has a very sharp fine point, but I never thought about tracing and probing elsewhere instead of at the chip.

                                    On the diagram I didn't see anything tied in to the circuits I shorted across that explains turns on by itself and shuts down 4 seconds later. I only checked pins 8 and 20 so maybe I unknowingly shorted pin 8. If I read that right this is the supply voltage for that IC? This pin is right next to CGND, chassis ground?

                                      Re: Philips 47PFL3603D/27 scratchy weak audio

                                      In this model, the ic has two supply voltages, one +12 and one - 12v. Yours could be different and only have one +20 volt supply.
                                      Does your ic have pins 16,17,1 & 32 going to chassis ground?
                                      There are some small pico fuses on that power supply, F200, F201, F202 You may have blown one of them.
                                      By looking at your pictures it seems your power supply, supplies both plus and minus 12 volts for the audio, both lines have fuses, F200 & F201
                                      If one of those fuses was open before, that may have been the cause of the poor audio??

                                        Philips 43PUS7506/12 - Loud blown out sound

                                        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
                                        ...

                                        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...

                                        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...

                                        I need an answer to how to amplify my WiFi signal because it is so weak outside
                                        by sam_sam_sam
                                        I have a really bad situation right with a very weak WiFi signal outside of the house and I have been told that I can not have two routers on my modem because it cause issues so what is the solution for this issue

                                        I can fix the garage door opener with a cat5 cable to device modem or at least that is what I call it and it works very well so far but by doing this I have no router in the garage and no WiFi signal inside the garage unless the door is open but it is extremely weak if not at all

                                        The MyQ cameras can NOT hookup to a cell phone hotspot I have tried it need...
