hello everyone!
I am new to this forum. I joined in order to search help for an issue i am facing with a personal TV. I am not new to electronic repairs, but i am not very familiar with tv stations. i do mostly smd rework and playstation repairs.
This Tv I bought a few years ago, a philips 47PFL4606H/12. i purchased the TV as faulty, the antena receiver was not working properly, the image had noise because the antenna was broken and poorly repaired. i bought another motherboard quite cheap, which i used until today.
The problem is that the backlight started to make strobo effect. Initially this happened when i started the TV, and dissapeared after it warmed up. then it started doing it most of the time. i took it apart thinking that the caps from the invertor board might be bad. but this tv has the invertor on the power supply board and all the caps looked fine. I put it back together and updated the system software. It worked great for about a month, then stated doing it again. Meanwhile i repaired the original mother board antenna receiver so i took it apart again today because i could not use it like that anymore and put the original motherboard back in while cleaning and inspecting the power supply again. now seems that its working again, but i did notice the flicker two times for 2-3 seconds.
Sometimes the flicker appears when changing the input, but it does appear on all inputs i tried (2 hdmi and antenna).
I am almost sure that the issue is backlight related, but i dont know what to do to fix it. since its not doing all the time, its hard to figure it out. i noticed that the more i keep it plugged in (turned on or off does not matter) the more often and longer the ficker occurs.
here is a video with the same model of tv and same issue i found online
another video, same problem, same model
I also attached some pictures of the power supply board. i would start by replacing the big capacitor 450v 120uF but again, i am not a tv techician. so please if you have any advice let me know.
Also the power supply is making a buzz noise ever since i start the TV. It has been like this since i bought it. i am not sure if this is normall or not. You can only hear it if you are close to it or if it's silence in the room
EDIT: i found this video claiming that the problem was from the screen connectors if i understand right. they are not exposed and i do not speak russian. do you guys think i should take it appart and inspect the issue?
