Re: First time poster in need of help and ideas Philips 42pf7320...



Thanks Tom. Yes, the TV is the older 720p standard, but I love using it on my video games and portable hard-drive media as it has excellent up conversion from SD to HD. I'd love to get a new set without a doubt, but this was a one-time trial that became a favorite pass-time. I think I'll see if I can find all three boards together at a shop or on a surplus website. The problem is that most of these sets die the same way, or so it seems.

Again, your time is very much appreciated....

One thing to add....

I actually bought the long-form service manual, but I'm unable to track the board in failure as they all seem to show proper voltage and lack and visual component failure. Based on the info that I gave, would you feel confident that it's the y-sus board?...

Hello all. I found this forum at the suggestion of a friend who said that you guys are "bar-none, the most helpful folks on the web". After reading some other posts, I think it's fair to say that you guys are in a very good position to help me out.

So, I bought a Philips 42pf7320 about three years ago at a local repair shop who had recently replaced a few internal boards. It was working very well in his shop and the picture is astoundingly good...or was good anyway. The power supply died last month and I decided to go ahead and take the chance that the power supply alone...
