Re: Philips LCD 47 black screen

Haha. Spoke too soon. Back to the black screen. Tried re-soldering connection again. We will see but I am expecting to have to order a new board.

Re: Philips LCD 47 black screen

Well I re-soldered the connection and so far so good. I watched an hour or so so far and it is working the way it should. Thanks again for all the input. Saved me a bunch of money!

I will keep ya posted. I plan on trying to fix it Friday night or Saturday morning at the latest. If that doesn't work I will order the board. I found it for $75.00 so hopefully that a worst case scenario. Did you take your TV apart yet?

Sometimes the screen goes black slowly, other times instantly. Sometimes it will work good for over an hour or two, other times five minutes or less. It also occasionally makes noise as it goes to black. I can shine a flashlight at the right angle and see whats on the screen. I have taken the back off the TV and cant see anything obvious, but I have little to no knowledge in this department. I have read some people having this problem but a few...
