Hello everyone! I am the owner of a Philips 42PFL7008k/12 TV! It served me well all the years. Sometimes it used to get "stuck", after which I used to disconnect it from the voltage, hold the power button on the device for about 30 seconds, and after turning it on again, it worked like new!Only once it threw something like no software!Now it happened that it won't turn on anymore, the red LED blinks twice!Do you have any suggestions? They are probably not cost effective to repair, but I am sorry to get rid of it, it has served me well and looks like new!The only downside is the slow software! Now I see these upgrade kits! What are the experiences with it......

Just to be sure, if u are skilled enough to make smd solderings, try to add solder and refresh the discrete components on the under side of the board under the cpu, especially resistors, lets we see.. -

Greetings! Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in repairs of this kind! And they ask too much for reballing! And the upgrade kit has appeared again, and has become more expensive! With postage, it would cost around 200 EUR, and I've lost the 3D option! I don't even know what to do now!Comment

200 EUR, that is too much to put into a 42 philips or any philips, might be time to recycle that one and try a different tv, philips are junk imo.Comment

No. For me personally, Philips is the best TV, primarily because of the Ambilight technology combined with Android! I've had 4 of them so far, three of them I still use... and in about 10 years, this is the first failure on them! Of course, they go a little crazy here and there, but after a restart, they're like new!Originally posted by nomoresonys View PostComment

Davi....., of course I know how to solder something, but I don't have the necessary knowledge or experience for such a serious procedure! And not even the equipment...! I would like a video where I can see the necessary procedure, please!Originally posted by Davi.p View PostComment

Yes Philips of some years ago was my favourite TV and often the best...
now i don't know..anyway Youtube is the place where to find tons of guides on soldering, search smd soldering, get a 0,5mm tin wire, an 1mm cone shape tip and decent low power soldering iron, put 3seconds the tip on the component, put tin wire on the sol. tip to get it melt then fast slide it to the component, add very small quantity..Last edited by Davi.p; 09-19-2023, 12:07 PM.Comment

I'll take a look! If it wasn't for the processor, I would have tried something a long time ago! Thank you. Greetings!Originally posted by Davi.p View PostComment

This is a pretty accurate ranking, with the exception they pushed samsung up way too high, 8-12 are all junk: https://www.slashgear.com/1238354/12...worst-to-best/Last edited by nomoresonys; 09-19-2023, 01:42 PM.Comment
