    Philips 37PFL5603/D Feint flickering picture

    Hi guys, I got this Philips LCD TV here. I don't work on many LCDs, mostly LED so not had a lot of experience with them.

    I actually repaired this about 18 months ago - it had a bad AS15, which I replaced and it has been fine until recently

    Now it powers up, after several seconds the PSU makes a fizzing warbling noise (hard to describe) and I can see the CCFLs flkickering, then after some seconds it shuts down. It powers then back up again and the cycle repeats.

    The voltages to the main board are OK (3.3V, 12V, -12V). All the caps are visibly OK.

    Obviously there is some problem with the inverter or the CCFL lamp(s) but can I determine which without a spare inverter or lamp?

    The PSU is a Delta DPS-279BP

    best regards

    Hmm there are repair kits on ebay for this model TV which consist of four high voltage 6kV caps (they seem a bit steep at 15 euros!)
    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Reparatur...UAAOSwOVpXfSrB


    Kondensator C327: 33pF x 6KV
    Kondensator C329: 22pF x 6KV
    Kondensator C330: 33pF x 6KV
    Kondensator C333: 33pF x 6KV


    Which would be the caps on the output of the inverter coil. You can't tell on my attached pic as the angle is wrong but the area of the PCB around two of those caps look like has been getting rather warm and is discoloured

    It doesn't say on the repair kit what the symptom is that this fixes, but this may be my problem.

    Does anyone know about those repair kits and what they are for?

    Cheers

      Have you removed the board and checked for poor solder connections on the transformer? It could be those caps are bad but they usually short, burn or crack open. It could also be a bad ccfl causing the issue or one of the transformer secondaries breaking down. If it is arcing, check it in a completely dark room, you "might" see the a slight corona arcing

        That was a good call R_J

        One pin on the secondary of the transformer had a bad soldered joint, on my microscope it was clear to see there was a circular fracture all around the pin.

        I used Solder braid and flux to clean all the soldered joints on the secondary and primary, then resoldered them

        It works fine now, so thank you for the advice

        best regards

            Philips 58PUS7805/12 showed no picture; after T-Con replacement, shows halo
            by Rauni
            Hello, this is my first post on this forum, and my first attempted to repair a TV.

            My Philips 58PUS7805/12 stopped working recently. It is not that old, about 5 years. We were on a trip for a few days and when we came back, it had stopped working out of a blue (Perhaps our house was hit by a lightning strike? Don't know.)

            Read from a guide that I should test if the screen shows picture with one of the T-Con cables disconnected. Did that, it showed perfect picture (first on left, later on right side).

            Read also that we should test what happens if we...

            Philips 243v5lhsb00 Monitor Picture too bright
            by Schwoin
            Hey everyone,

            the picture on my philips monitor looks way too bright so that black appears grey and colors also seem too bright.



            While i tried to tilt the screen a little bit while it was displaying a picture, i´ve noticed, that there appeared some purple pixels. In the following picture
            you can see them on the top half of the photo.



            At a certain point during the tilting, the picture looked normal again but as soon as i laid it back down, the purple pixels were gone and the picture was bright again.

            Philips 37pfl560: Yellow picture
            by madyoyo
            HI.

            I have a weird problem with an old Philips 37pfl560 TV i put out of storage: the picture have a noticeable yellow hue, and its not caused by the settings (did a factory reset). I've never seen this before. I will try to get a photo with a real camera, with my phone its hard to see because of automatic white balance, but in real live the whites are really yellow.

            Anyone have an idea of what can cause this? Can CCFL tubes get "warmer" with time? This tv have several analog inputs,so its nice for retrogaming....

            No picture issue in Philips Chassis FTL2.1
            by charlesdutcher
            Hello,
            My Plasma Philips 37inch chassis FTL2.1 does not show picture. It automatically goes into protection mode after 30 seconds (red led blinks at 3Hz)


            Is there someone having any symptom like this? How to fix it?

            Thanks in advance!​

            Philips 50PUS7363/12 Backlight but no picture
            by groomit
            Hi,
            I'm having trouble with above mentioned TV. Bought it defect.
            Picture was heavily compressed around the horizontal axis. Fiddeled and tried different things (mask clock lines, swap T-Con). But no difference.
            Then I identified a heating capacitor on the left hand Signal-PCB (?) below the display. Replaced it by hand soldering. Checked for shorts afterwards. But now the screen stays black.

            I can see backlight, but screen stays black.
            What I've tried:
            - Disconnect right side cable from T-Con -> same (backlight but no pic)
            - Disconnect left side...
